Yes..This is the first Power Wagon I ever saw up close and personal, spotted it back in high school, fell in love with it. Pestered the guy to sell it to me, he would not budge offa it, Finally a few years later, he decided to sell, I was broke, and had to say no. So a friend of mine got it, I finally talked him into selling it to me, he did, so I paid him like $100 here, $200 here etc then I finally paid it off! About a year later finally got it home. I spent about 8 years trying to get this truck. Once the deal was made, I started collecting parts for it. FInally some how get it home, and then less than a year later went to sell it, no takers so I swapped it. The truck I swapped it for turned out to be a bigger pain than I wanted to fool with, so off it went. boy..in a way, seeing my 'ol girl' for sale, sorta brought a tear to my eye, I sure hope it does go to a good home. I thought about trying to get it back..but why bother, thats a part of my life that is over, done...I dont have a garage or building to work on it in..and the collection of parts I got for it has been sold off. i probably wont ever own another older style Power Wagon again...Probably wont get another Sweptline either. By the way, the guy forgot to put down that this truck made it into Monty Montgomery's Dodge Power Wagon book as well.
