Vehicle Detail
Garage kept Dodge Power Wagon with 50586 original miles. I bought the truck new in Dec 1977 from Shope Motors, in Huntingdon, Pa. It has a factory installed Myers power angle plow. The truck has served me well, but I will be spending winters in sunnier climes. I have maintained the truck well over the last 35 years, but there are a few problems. It needs floorboards welded in to pass Pa. inspection. The gas gauge does not work. A new dash light switch is needed. The starter interlock on the tranny needs adjusted (repaired replaced?) as the truck will start in gear. The body has been repaired a few times, but the only dent I ever put in it was on the passenger side front fender. A few years ago, I had all new brake lines and a new master cylinder installed.The water pump is new last year, as in the battery. All fluids were changed at that time.The headlight yoke was replaced about 5 years ago. The engine runs unbelievably for a vehicle that sits so much. The gas is old, and the truck does take a few minutes to warm up.You must let it warm up. Once warm, it plows like its did in 1978. The front bumper is a custom real pipe bumper. The truck is basically solid, and would be restorable if interested. Tires are 90%. Many of the hoses are original, and fluid levels must be checked regularly. No bad leaks as of last winter, but a few seeps. Included are extra springs for the plow, and a few miscellaneous switches I've accumulated over the years. Local pick up only.
