Classics Trucks Revealed: 1963 Dodge Power Wagon pickup still going strong 

Grew up hunting in one from the early 50's. No seat belts, straight gears - no synchromesh. 6-volt electrical system. Vacuum-operated wipers. Starter button on the floor. No power steering. No power brakes. Drum brakes, but going downhill they were geared so low they didn't need better brakes - just take your foot off the gas, and they slowed right down to a crawl, if you were in a low enough gear. Manual hubs. Gas tank behind the seat - and Dodge was STILL doing that as late as the mid-60's! We had one in the Coast Guard, a std pickup, '65 or '66, that leaked. Dearly love those old Power Wagons. A ton of torque and ground clearance that puts any factory 4X4 today to shame. Wish the engine and gears could be heard in the video. That low-range gear whine is sweet music, burned into my heart & brain.

I'm a Ford guy but that has to be one of the best looking old truck. Looks like it was made to get the job done. I hadn't realized that they made it for so long. When I saw this video I was like, what? This is the same truck as back in the 40's. This thing is just screaming for a Cummings

Wish trucks were still made like this! Purpose built, not for pleasure!

What a beautiful truck!

Great restoration. The go anywhere, anytime rig!!

It looks fun to drive. My '40 half ton is all torque too. It has a 218 CID.

Saw this thing on /r/trucks, nice to see the guy who owns it. He looks just like I expected him to!

Very cool truck!

I once owned a '75 Power Wagon! Although very tough, it was not in the league of one of these.

I see this is a re upload! Very nice truck!

I learned to drive in a ww2 army surplus Dodge power wagon. My uncle Steve dealt in war surplus vehicles in Central PA. He just handed the vehicle

Legendary".. Their remanifactured power wagon's cruise on the hiway at 75.., beauties !!!. peace

I love this truck!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Fast Lane Truck. Now do the new version please.

Great honest truck from an era bygone

i've had a PW sense 1978, if there is snow and ice or ever mud where i need to go i take the PW. i always take a long bar with me to clear things that get stuck under the fenders i.e. rocks, mud hondas and such. long trips are boring.

Epic

THAT is a truck, sir!!

I want to see that off road or in the snow!!!

Power Wagon lived up to its name. Install a 360 4 bbl motor and you get guts and speed.

I was wondering about this truck.. I saw it a couple of times in pictures cruising in Arabia's sand dunes!!.. yeah black and white images back in the good old dayd...60's

For the 2018 HD trucks they should borrow this look but use modern tech!
