Where are you going to document/post about your Power Wagon rebuild? I assume there is a Dodge or Power Wagon forum. Got a link? I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like to watch your progress!

I'm new to the Power Wagon world, though I've been looking for one for a couple of years. I've learned a lot from several trips and lots of talk with the folks at Rough N Ready in Indio CA https://www.rough-readydpw.com/ There are a bunch of forums for war-era wagons, I haven't figured out where the most used forum is, but I'll' post it up, and I'll post some improvements I'm making on the bumpside as well.

I've been looking at these for years. I owned one briefly, but they are war era trucks that top out at 46mph. I'm going to resto-mod this with a cummins, and modern 5 speed drive train. I'll need to swap the differential gearing: I'm hoping for a truck that looks like a war-era Power Wagon, but can do a highway stint at 65 mph without walking lane to lane....
