I have stumbled upon a Dodge PowerWagon doing stationary duty as a WINCH for an Overhead Hoist.
Stopped by yesterday with the camera and took the pics shown.
There was a guy on site (not the owner) who thought she's a 1953(?) with a flathead 6 cylinder engine that was rebuilt "just a few years ago", and he says "she's not really roadworthy".
Her NDT tires are badly dry-rotted. I GOOGLE'd "1953 Power Wagon" and I see that NDT Tires are common on "Civvy" trucks.
From what I can tell via GOOGLE Images is that a Military version would have the vertical fold-down style windshield and "squared" doors, making them "M37" models. but the "Flat" (two dimensional contoured) fenders make me wonder if it might be military. Yet the headlights do not appear to be utilitarian military style.
They only use the winch to hoist "stuff" off pickups and trailers.
The interior is in similar condition to the exterior - needing LOTS of TLC.
There are operational decals (that look "militaristic") on the glove box door, but nothing that I recogize as a Military Data Plate.
THEREFORE -
Can anyone educate me on this vehicle?
ANY information would be helpful.
I'm considering making an offer - Any value estimates?
(If I offerd to swap an electric hoist, I think I could snag it )
Thanks ! ! !
