A lot has gone wrong. First it needed new plugs and wires, then it needed a new carburetor and master brake cylinder, and all new brakes.
Then it needed a new exhaust a new windsheild and also a rear main replaced and a new radiator.
It still leaks transmission fluid if you let it sit for a while. I put new tires on it and that was about it.
A lot has gone wrong, but I only paid $300 for it anyways.
Even though I have had a lot of problems with it, its the best truck ever.
Very powerful truck goes through mud like a hot knife and butter.
Very comfortable for me, 6,3 300lbs.
Easy car to work on a good learner car.
I myself have own a 1972'1973/1976,1977,1978 dodge powerwagons. I still have every truck here in my yard running strong. My point is you must of beat your truck up good. Your list of parts is hard to believe , I have 700,000 miles on my 1973 truck and my list is half your size. My son is driving it to highschool here in 7 days . Thier awesome trucks if you take the time and service them when it's needed . I collect them and enjoy the fun they have brought my family over the years.
I am currently restoring my 1978 powerwagon, my advice to anyone cosidering to do the same is: YOU WILL LOVE IT!!! This is probably one of the best trucks I have ever owned and worked on. It is a complete powerhouse! I can't wait until it is done so that I can build a second one for my girlfriend. Anyway, I just wanted to add my comment on one of the best trucks ever engineered... thanks for reading...Scott.
