History
With less than 14,000 miles and garaged most of its life, this is a truly a rare Power Wagon. Records indicate it was purchased new by the Spokane, WA Fire Department. I have registration records from the fire department from 1957 to 1975. Records indicate it was sold to the second owner in 1975 and the third owner in 1985 with only 12,500 miles. The third owner installed the Dodge V-8 engine, front disc brakes, positraction and dump system. I purchased the truck in 2014 with 13,202 miles and had the restoration completed professionally by Kevin LeBlanc at Expert Auto.
Warning: May eat small dogs and cats if parked in a neighborhood.
