1954 4x4 Dodge Power Wagon. (1-Ton) C1-PW6-126 (South Central, MO)
Known Historical Data:
This truck was purchased near Asheville, NC in 2003. The truck did not run and had sat unused for many years. Both front tires had been flat; which allowed accumulated leaf debris and water to collect at the front of the steel bed. The lower front bed wall and sides has rusted through from sitting.
From the title provided it noted the truck was last registered in 1978. The truck has been garaged most of the time (since 2003) and has only been used around our farm (MO) property. We never registered it for road use and only occasionally, run back and forth on a rural gravel road to pick-up the mail.
