That's Not a Truck.... [PIC]

THIS is a truck! In 1946 Dodge did not waste a lot of time and money retooling their military WC 4X4 truck for the civilian market. This first generation or "flat fender" model gave people their first real introduction to a 4 wheel drive heavy duty workhorse equipped with a 2 speed low transfer case that offered a power take-off Bush winch. They kept the 230 cid flathead 6 cylinder mated to a 4 speed transmission along with the huge (for the time) wheels and knobby tires gave the truck powerful off road performance. This Power Wagon, in original condition is almost impossible to find, as back in the day, a truck was a vehicle that you just drove into the ground and certainly couldn't predict a collector market 75 years in the future. I'm glad DM offered this truck in army olive drab. It reminds me of the trucks I used to drive back in Thailand during the war. It definitely intimidated the local population.
