This truck is one that Steve Wataha had for over 25 years and was his only transportation during most of that time. It has solid stainless steel bumpers, grill, headlight guards and PTO cover. It also has dual fuel tanks and dual spare tire mounts. This is a very nice truck with original pickup box.
I bought one of Steve's Power Wagons a few years ago, and I consider it one of the best things I've done with my money. I couldn't spend the same amount of money, never mind the many, many hours of labor, and achieve the same quality with the finished truck. I am presently restorating a 1940 Dodge VD-21, 2-wheel drive 1-ton pickup, and I have more than $30,000 cash in it already and nearly 20 years of work. It's still not done, but it's close. If you want a nicely finished truck that you can drive reliably, buying one of these Power Wagons is the way to go. If you want the satisfaction of building your own, then by all means, find a decent truck and plan on spending several years and many $Thousands of bucks to get something close to one of these.
