Any old Dodge Power Wagon fans?
So I have been asked to sell this 1966 Power Wagon utility truck. 3/4 ton with 318ci and 4 spd.
Any ideas on worth? Or a good vintage Dodge forum?

Is that a 318 "wide block"? If it is the parts are worth more then the sum of their whole

Not a PTO winch. The electric motor was removed by someone at work and it was non-repairable.
It ran well last I heard but I'll have to do some carb work as it had a rebuild kit put in it and it needs some fettling. Heads were replaced by me in 1996 so it has hardened valve seats/new guides for unleaded gas. Probably only has 1K miles on it since then as it was only used on a 400 acre guest ranch. It has 75K miles total. I believe them to be original. |

A quick look on the interwebs shows that truck should have a wideblock 318 in it. You find the right buyer and it should sell very fast

Similar to the one I had as a kid. I miss that truck, but don't need another project.

The color makes me think it's an old Forest Service rig....

Worth very, very little. Probably worth more in scrap. I'll gladly take it off your hands...
  Yeah Paul, looks likes an old forest or parks service truck.

Drove a similar vintage Dodge PW on my first 'real' job with the Iowa Highway commission. It had the PTO winch on a big platform front bumper.

Add a vintage truck camper and that would be a sweet rig.
