NICE CLEAN 1978 DODGE POWER WAGON 4 X 4 WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. TRIM IS CUSTOM 200 MODEL (WHICH I BELIEVE MAKES IT A 3/4 TON). REAR TAIL GATE READS "DODGE RAM".TRUCK STARTS RUNS , DRIVES AND STOPS. THE PREVIOUS OWNER TOLD ME HE INHERITED THE TRUCK FROM HIS GREAT UNCLE WHEN HE PASSED AWAY.THE NEPHEW SAID HE HAS NOT DROVE THE TRUCK MUCH IN THE 2 YEARS HE HAS OWNED IT. THE UNCLE PASSED AWAY 2 YEARS AGO AT THE AGE OF 101.THE NEPHEW SAID HIS UNCLE USED TO HERD SHEEP UP IN THE MOUNTAINS/HILLS OF WASHINGTON AND OREGON. HE BOUGHT THE TRUCK TO REVISIT (CAMP AND FISH)THE LAND OF HIS YOUTH AND REMINISCE ABOUT DAYS OF OLD.I INITIALLY THOUGHT THE TRUCK HAD ORIGINAL PAINT BUT I SEE SIGNS OF OVER SPRAY AROUND THE RUBBER SEALS AROUND THE WINDOWS. THE PAINT DOES HAVE A NICE PATINA THOUGH. IT HAS A 8 FOOT BED.IT HAS 2 GAS TANKS BUT THE REAR ONE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN ADDED (NON FACTORY).THE TRAILER HITCH HAS BEEN WELDED TO THE FRAME.I BOUGHT THE TRUCK TO KEEP AND DRIVE AS IS BUT MY HOME REMODEL HAS RUN OVER BUDGET.THE NEPHEW SAID THE ENGINE IS A 318.THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SEEMS TO WORK AS IT SHOULD.THE TIRES ARE NEW.THE WATER PUMP AND SOME OF THE HOSES SEEM TO HAVE BEEN REPLACED. IT DOES HAVE WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE ORIGINAL JACK UNDER THE HOOD.THERE ARE WHAT APPEAR TO BE ORIGINAL STICKERS ON THE DASH AND VALVE COVERS.THERE IS A CRACK IN THE DASH BUT IT ALSO SECONDS AS THE GLOVE BOX DOOR.MILES ARE ORIGINAL AT 83K.FRONT RIGHT (PASSENGER SIDE OF BED HAS SOME DRY ROT ABOUT 12 INCHES.ALSO COULD BE DRY ROT OF WOOD UNDER 2 METAL PIECES OF TIN ON BED?.JUST A COOL OLD TRUCK.THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE REALLY SWEETENS THE POT TOO.YOU ALL KNOW IT BRINGS ATTENTION AND COMPLEMENTS.
