Up for Auction a very nice 1946 Dodge Power Wagon!! This truck has a rebuilt flathead engine that runs excellent! Runs, Idles, and accelerates beautifully! Always Cranks up right away! The transmission is non-synchronized four speed with a Granny low first gear. It shifts very smooth and all the gears operate exactly as they should. This truck has an entire new braking system! New Master Cylinder! New inner and outer flex hoses! All new Pre-bent Steel Brake Lines! New Wheel Cylinders! New Brake Shoes!! Everything is new!! The Hub/Drum assembly has been machine turned and has all new Right Sided Wheel Studs eliminating the original left sided reverse thread studs! All four axel backplates including the rear axel housing were replaced because the brake cams were stripped out and the brake shoes clips were broke off preventing to brakes from working properly. The replacements are in terrific condition and now work properly. All of the outer oil seals of the front axel have been replaced and has new brass bushings pressed in on both the axel and spindle side. The axel shafts are nice and snug like they should be! The Rear axel has new inner and outer seals and gaskets. All of the wheel bearings have been repacked with new axel grease and have new hub seals! The front axel has brand new AVM Locking hubs! Very high quality and better mileage than the original setup, fastened with stainless steel nuts. Looks very nice!! The tires are in pretty good condition overall the three of them have some cracking the tires but aren't in terrible shape! All of the fluids have been changed in the Engine, Transmission, Transfer Case, and Both Front and Rear Axels. Most of the electrical components work but could use some work to pass state inspection primarily the blinkers. The winning bidder will have an option to purchase a new 6 volt wiring harness from me built by Vintage Wiring of Maine for an additional $695 dollars. (I paid over a thousand for it) They are well worth the money! The prior owner replaced the doors with blue ones because they were in better shape, I asked him and he no longer has the originals! But these are in terrific shape with next to no rust! This truck is one of the most rust free unrestored trucks ive ever seen. Nowhere on the truck can i find any cancerous rust or rotted areas. Even between the bed and the cab is in good shape. The bed rails do have some bends in them. The front drivers side in particular. Overall the bed is in good shape. This truck still has the original wood underneath a piece of sheet metal bolted in the bed. The running boards are in fair condition, the driver side is strait. The Passenger side has some dents which is pretty common for these trucks. All of the wood underneath is in good shape. The front passenger fender is bent and dips down in the front. Also the front grill has some dents and bends in it. The glass is in fair condition. The drivers side window has some cracks in it and the windshield has some cracks in it! The passenger side and rear have no cracks and are in excellent shape. As far as the inside goes the upholstery on the seat is in pretty good condition. The floorboards are in great shape with zero cancerous rust! The transfer case levers work well and shift smoothly. The gauges are pretty faded and could use restoration or replacement. I believe they all work, they move when the truck cranks up. Truck probably needs vacuum wiper motors rebuilt or replaced with electric motors. This truck has a fuel tank that appears to be home made but very similar to the original! I was impressed! Ive never used it out of concern for dirty fuel getting in the engine. Ive alway used a boat can as a fuel source (comes with the truck) The winch works very well and has fairly new cable on it. Overall this is a great truck! the First year of the Dodge Power Wagon and sure to appreciate in value over the coming years! Mechanically it runs like a dream!! Please feel free to ask me any questions! The Truck is located In Midland, Texas. Feel free to come look at the truck in person before bidding! I reserve the right to end the auction anytime up until the completion of the sale.
