The best Power Wagon ever made, I worked at a used auto parts yard back in the 70's, we had 2, one had a home made wrecker body with a rear winch, and the other was a pickup with a large boom off the front with the front winch for pulling engines in hard to reach areas. With the flat head 6, those trucks would go anywhere and push down trees 4 " in diameter like a twig.
Why is it having problems going up that hill. Is the timing off does it have a fuel mixture problem in the carb. Or was he not trying to get up the hill?
Love the truck and the dogs! I'm sure she sold. Would it be rude to ask what the old girl was worth? Just ballpark ish? Passed on one as a young man. Still regret it. Very nice truck sir!
