This 1949 Dodge Power Wagon (chassis 83913326) comes with records and registration for a good portion of its life, and was reportedly purchased new by the Spokane, Washington Fire Department where it remained until 1975. Since restored and upgraded, the truck now runs a 440 big block, 727 TorqueFlite automatic, power front disc brakes, working A/C, and a discreet tilt bed. Find it here on Craigslist in Lacey, Washington for $75k.

A dozen and half photos are included with the listing, and all appear to show a tidy, well-built truck. Fire engine red over big mud-terrains and black-painted wheels is a good look, and there are few external clues to the much upgraded mechanicals beneath. The extended front bumper houses a winch with a 15,000 pound capacity, and the bed features a hydraulic lift for dumping.

The restored cab retains a mostly factory appearance, but makes use of GM tilt steering column, aftermarket gauges, and an HVAC vent pod mounted towards the center of the instrument panel. Both heat and A/C are said to work, and though there’s a hole in the dash for a head unit, the cab has already been wired for sound.

Gone is the original L-head six in favor of a Chrysler 440 big block with a mild performance camshaft. The transmission is a beefy 727 TorqueFlite, itself mated to a rebuilt 4×4 transfer case and limited slip–possibly for both axles, the seller isn’t specific. Other upgrades include a 12-volt electrical system, power brakes with discs in the front and drums in the rear, a four-core radiator, and a new alternator.

Registration records dating from 1957 are said to be in the seller’s possession, and overall this one seems to be just about ideally specced for a restomod Power Wagon. It’s certainly not cheap, but replicating the build wouldn’t be either.
