I'm sooooo glad he didn't have a Chevy engine in the quad cab. Great looking truck. Excellent job!

That's probably the best crew cab conversion I've ever seen

Amazing! As young Army Private with the 101st at Fort Campbell Kentucky in 1966, I was assigned an Army 3/4 Ton Dodge truck. I had to do everything with it to keep it mission ready. The gearing would let you crawl up just about anything. You could throw it out of an airplane and it would still only got 45 miles per hour. Great memories.

Crew cab is excellent , has to be the best ever made , time and patience to make this awesome machine . Just exactly right in proportion . Raise my hat to the owner for excellent fabrication and engineering skills . An absolute gem . . . The red and cream bus . Another excellent example of amazing work and ownership . Both of these owners should be absolutely proud to have achieved the amazing standard of time and work that has went into creating two of the best out there . .

Wow , just love both of them. My first new truck was a dodge w200 in 1976 dark green . By 1979 I had about 30,000 miles on it. I became paralyzed by botched operation and had to give it up , my father took it since it was new. Tuff times for all of us and even worse now but that's life. Thanks always loved the power wagons of old.

I rode around in the crew cab Power Wagon at the Iowa Rally and the owner is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. If it can be possible, it is even better in person than it looks on video. Top notch build and quality. Mission accomplished Mr. Verst.

I am wiping the drool off my shirt lusting after both of these Power Wagons. Both of these vehicles are beyond cool.

Wow what an incredible build and something as little as relocating the back door hinges to maintain the bodylines shows his attention to detail. Fooled me for a second and then I thought "hang on a 4 door Power Wagon from way back then"? LOL, awesome and beautiful work truly I'm sure the talk of any car show he participates in. 😊😊 😎 😎

That red and white Power Wagon really brings back memories of days gone by. What a nice ride 😉👍

Loved those old Power Wagon trucks since they were practically new. Almost inherited one when a close friend died, but got shafted out of it. First thing that went through my mind seeing the one in the video was: _Wow! First crew cab one I've ever seen!_ It was a bit of a relief hearing it was a handmade one of a kind.

What a great video Mr Gage... absolutely loved these trucks..

Hey..MCC crew..I really gotta tell you, I think this is probably on of the best "1 on 1" episodes. Super nice car owners. Unless an individual is an absolute true blue power wagon afficianato, there is no way anyone can tell he modified this vehicle. Love the Red and Cream truck. Always loved Red and Cream together. Classy, just plain 'o classy. Keep on truckin'!!

Agreed; the red & cream color scheme looks awesome no mater what it's on. I bet it would even make a modern truck or sports car look classy

Nothing oozes cool like a old Dodge truck!

What a great episode! Dennis is very good at what he does I’ve seen him carry many interviews. This episode though is great because both these gents are true enthusiasts much like Dennis. Thank you very much to the whole crew! MCC is in my top 3 favourite shows ever! If I can I hope one day I can check an item off my bucket list and meet Dennis:)

The Powerwagon pickup is absolutely fantastic. The craftsmanship is superb and the color while could be referred to as "Olive Drab", there is nothing drab about it. Most of these Powerwagons you see painted in a drag green or red, sometimes with black fenders. The difference in his color choices really help to make his stand out. Also I am personally really impressed by the condition and wrap of his winch cable. As a person involved in the recovery industry for many decades nothing upsets me more than an operator who abuses, crushes and misses winds his cable back onto the drum. Thus shortening the operating life of the cable in the process. There are several people whom I have given their walking papers to for this very reason. It's a great job and I must say that it makes me jealous.

The fab work on the '55 is impressive. Great job on two awesome trucks!

Both are amazing. Glad to see Dodge getting some love.

Great episode. 2 beautiful Power Wagons! Keep up the great content. Chuck in Kansas

Thank you for posting this!

Normally that town wagon woulda been very cool. But the job that guy did on the crew cab was incredible! I’m old enough to remember when dodge was selling power wagons, but I love everything about what he did with the pickup. So cool!!

I had a 1959 Dodge Fargo panel wagon two wheel drive in the 70's, the body looked similar but without side windows, it had the V8 with a column shifted 3 speed, no power steering, after I installed 8 inch rimmed tires on the front and 10 inch 0n the back. trying to park was quite a chore, the Van had a 2 spoke steering wheel, after I broke two trying to park I installed a custom steel steering wheel, the 3 speed transmissions were not strong enough for the V8, I broke quite a few trying to burn rubber, I loved that truck, I once drove from Seattle to Vancouver in a snow storm with a broken transmission, first and reverse would always be the gears that gave up the ghost, I drove home with just second and third gear working.

Great episode and what great rides these two are.

It’s amazing. Both of these vehicles were originally completely utilitarian, and yet, still had more class, style, and personality than most modern vehicles.

Both of those rigs are 100% badass.....

Both of them are wonderful! Can't pick a favorite... want them both.

I restored a 59 Town Wagon in the mid-70's while in college and drove it from Nevada to Pennsylvania. Wish i still had it.

The red one is my dream truck!

I'd give the guy 20 bucks just to sit in the passenger sit while it's parked. really nice

I'll tell you. If they could build a "today" version of the 1955 Power Wagon (looking just like that, but upgraded to today's standards, they'd sell a ton of them.

No they wouldn't. People dont want rugged, they want touchscreens and car suspensions in trucks. Just look at all the suburban moms who buy wranglers and 4runners. They'd sell poorly to hardcore offroad guys, fiat would lose money, and they'd discontinue it a few million dollars poorer

I agree, provided it was the real deal and not just a cosmetic makeover of a Power Wagon. This is what most of today's Dodge truck owners wish they could buy.

Power Wagon looks cool , it's amazing how it was customized !

Great job and hello from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

Love that w100 and Excellent mods on power wagon crew cab wow!!!

That power wagon was also available with push-button automatic,same as other Chrysler cars.

Stunning creation.

There were over the years of production, two dozen or so Power Wagon Crew Cabs similar to the custom one in the video. The trucks were ordered through Dodge who had a bodybuilder like Armbruster/Stageway do the conversion. Factory? No but, still an option.

Really nice article, Thank you.

would've liked to see clips of the Power Wagon build. absolutely gorgeous. weird it only has 5 lugs

So cool. ...sure would love to own one of these.

Awesome pair of Trucks,..LOVE the 4-door mod.....Very Nice Job ....My first truck was a 59 D-100...plane-jane, bullet-proof....& 2-day Im still in a Dodge Ram.

2 great looking trucks..

Great job!

Impressive build. 👍

The Power Wagon was based on the old military T214 Dodge 3/4 ton truck. Originally Dodge hadn't considered it part of their lineup but massive demand from returning servicemen convinced them that there was a demand.

Now those are trucks, 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Simple strong and durable. What trucks use to be.I love my 2006 Dodge 2500 Cummins 6 speed...and it does say "Power Wagon" on the bed..but it's just not the same.Love those 1958 town wagons!

This truck is a Hummer for 50s is awesome!

I so want that crew cab! Or one similar. But that 58 would be cool to travel the country in. Toss a mattress in the back some clothes and hit the road like a jypsy! Thanx for showing these beauties!

these are real trucks....super cool....

Love love these trucks.

That is quite an optioned out 58' Town Wagon!! Power Steering on Power Wagons was offered from 57'-60'. Discontinued for the 61' model year, it wouldn't return for 4X4s until 1968!! The V8 was already a huge additional expense so, the inclusion of Power Steering made the price tag for this quite steep. You had to have the V8 to have Power Steering. Between the 4X4 option, the V-8 and the Power Steering, this was probably at LEAST 50% more added to the initial base price Town Wagon!

love both dodges!!1

The 4 door is a thing of beauty, if they could only make them like this again.

. I think it was a 1962, 1964 - forest ranger slant six Dodge Power Wagon - I drove off a cliff, landed vertical on my front Lic. Plate. Just kept going, but my plate numbers were smashed smooth on my I beam bumper. As a bonus, the oil had all poured out of the air cleaner, I discovered later.

Very Nice!

Gladly have both in my shed !

Dennis I like those trucks as I am Dodge lover

Love Power Wagons ever since about 1964

I love power wagons that wer built from 1958-1967. Also I love the white rims they came with.

That W100 has some serious ground clearance! 10"+ maybe at the differentials?

very nice.. thanks

Dad owned one. Many vacations and memories.

Love to have either one of those, or both!

Fantastic!!!!!!!

Beautiful trucks, never seen one

Wonderful !!! The best TRUCK EVER And Forever

Aaaaawwwwwesome!!!

Great cars!!!

Dual-Matic Lockout Hubs on the 1958! :D

That crewcab, best looking truck in the world.

These trucks just SCREAM cool! If i had one i would not be able to keep it from 4wheeling.

I own a 61 townwagon. Great trucks

The NAPCO kits were used by General Motors; the Marmon -Herrigntons went to Ford.

Love'em both , but I'd put a modern 5 or 6 speed manual in the crew cab, cuz I ain't interested much if it ain't got a clutch !

I seen the opening red power wagon go thru Iowa on i80 late 2017 on a flatbed

Nice!!

Very cool, my 78 crew cab isn't that nice, but I can still drive it every day. Even with military 37's and 354 rear end it doesn't like highway speeds much.

Michelin XZL 1100s I think, not cheap but can be retreaded. I have a 52 M37.

Man I miss my Power Wagon, 583 gears and all!

god i would love to have one of those

i love the 55 power wagon

I only knew the military model. But they are both great. Here in the Netherlands we only know the military versions.

Drooling!

If somebody wants to make me REALLY HAPPY for my 71st Birthday (now that I have to sell my "93" FLSTN Harley Davidson) THIS WOULD HELP ME TO STOP CRYING OVER LETTING MY BABY GO..... This guy did a fantastic job in restoring and modifying this iconic 4X4 DODGE POWER WAGON, IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL FOR SURE AND EXTREMELY WELL DONE AND LOOKS LIKE THE CREW CAB WAS FACTORY MADE BY DODGE......... (Am I Drooling ????? WOW) MOPAR RULES BABY.

I'm just shocked that no one has ever tried to reintroduce these trucks. Jeep did really well by bringing back the old school version. And Ford brought back the Bronco, and it did really well. This is one of those truck designs that could be a major success.

Oh my Lord, that green Crew Cab Power Wagon, as much as I Love the modern RAM trucks, if the FCA would build that old Power Wagon Crew, I’d have to trade my F150 to get one, what a Beautiful machine!

Gotta love the town wagon/town panels. The owner is wrong though, they went through 66. Mine is a model year 66.

I had a 63 D200 and kick myself everyday for selling that beast. It was truly indestructible. Had a 1st gear that would climb a tree and was 2wd.

I expected Timmy to say EEawekee and Lassie to show up. The show had a pick-up version with June Lockhart drifting around the back country dirt roads.

Why can't they make cars/ trucks like this anymore? Awesomeness.
