Introduction:
This C3-PW Power-Wagon is the third Power Wagon I've owned over the years but the first "original type" with the old fashioned type external fenders.
The picture at the right was taken in September of 1981 just after the second owner (I am the 3rd owner) had repainted it.

This truck seems to be in good enough shape to put back together without doing a full frame off restoration. The obvious areas that need fixing are the fenders, brakes, and seals. I kind of like the old look of the paint and may just try and clean it up without repainting.

I still haven't decided whether this is a 1955 or 1956? Bruce gave me a couple of original registrations from the original owner, dated January 1973, that listed it as a 1956. As far as Bruce knows, it was always considered a 1956 model by both him and the first owner.

The History Page gives a little background on the truck including pictures from the previous owner.
