Details

This 1949 Dodge Power Wagon custom pickup is a frame-off restoration completed in early May 2024. Power comes from a 5.9-liter Cummins 12-valve turbo-diesel engine paired with a 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission that features 2- and 4-wheel drive. The engine is cooled by a custom aluminum radiator. The brand-new Tisdale Coachworks steel frame features King coilover struts with 4-link suspension. It was completely restored by bringing it down to bare metal, sandblasting, prepping the body with high-build polyester primer and then finishing in Ceramic Grey basecoat/clearcoat. The fenders and running boards stay true to the original, are finished in a deep Gloss Black with clearcoat and have been undercoated for protection. The wood bed was finished in an Ash Gray stain and sealed, then completed with stainless-steel strips. It rides on custom Trailready 20-inch beadlock wheels with Toyo tires. The front is equipped with a 12,000-pound WARN winch. To complete the nostalgic look, this Power Wagon also features classic-looking high-output headlights and marker lamps with Dodge-marked taillights. It is equipped with power steering and power brakes. The interior features a custom distressed leather seat with a diamond pattern, carpeted flooring, leather door panels, and leather-wrapped steering wheel and dash. It also features a front console, power locks, power windows, keyless entry, Ididit tilt steering column, Dakota Digital gauges, a Vintage Air system and a custom audio system with Bluetooth stereo. This pickup earned the Dodge Truck Pick from LMC Truck at the 2024 Goodguys Nashville Nationals.
