mid-late '60s Dodge Powerwagon?
Does anyone here own a mid-late '60s Dodge Powerwagon, or know of a good online resource like Pelican for technical info, pictures, restoration documentation, etc..? Im trying the help a friend restore his '66. It's been sitting in a body shop partially disassembled for over a year getting passed over for insurance work. Anyway, I offered to help with some rust repair in the floorboards and to help reassemble it so it can be brought home.
This thing is absolutely massive. I've never ridden in a tank, but for lack of a better comparison, it feels like a tank on the road. Im not sure if we will spin it over, but the plan is to get it off of the frame and onto a rotisserie for the floorboard work. Everything will be soda blasted and repainted or powder coated. My friend has the rotisserie and runs his own soda blasting business, so we have the equipment. I'm just trying to get some kind of technical knowledge of the vehicle before messing anything up. TIA Here are a couple of pics of a '65 from another website. This looks identical to the one I'm volunteering to work on. ![]() ![]() |

I've posted this link in the past...good friend of mine owns and runs it with his wife.
It is the PP of old trucks. They can help. The Stovebolt Page -- For Old GM - GMC - Chevy Trucks! We owned DPWs when I was a kid on the ranch...stupid simple, drink gas, ride like they have stone for wheels and have horrible brakes. I loved them. Best of luck and enjoy.
