To some,POWER WAGON is just another relative term.The 46'WDX-68'WM300 is the original POWER WAGON,even though other body styles of Dodge 4x4 trucks carried the POWER WAGON logo.The WDX-WM300 trucks were truely POWER WAGONS due to their ability to carry mobile power to inaccessable places,powering multiple types of equipment.This is what made it a PW,and why it was called a POWER WAGON!Later the term PW on the other body styles became equated to the basic 4x4 offroad ability with more powerful engines.Long before I ever saw my first WM300,I was in love with the early 70's short wb PW PU! It was to me,a PW but I now give respect and honor to my 64'WM300 as the original and true deserver of the POWER WAGON title!No one really begrudes the other body style PW's,but give the WDX-WM300 POWER WAGON its due honor,respect and rightful place as KING of the POWER WAGONS!
