1952 Dodge Power Wagon

This 1952 Dodge Power Wagon was acquired by the seller’s father-in-law as a project in November 2023 and subsequently completed. Work is noted to have involved repairing and repainting the body as well as refurbishing the frame and rebuilding the 230ci flathead inline-six, four-speed manual transmission, and two-speed transfer case. The truck is finished in orange with black fenders and running boards and features a Braden MU-2 winch, a pintle hitch, and a wood-plank bed floor. The cab houses a brown vinyl–trimmed bench seat accompanied by a tilt-out windshield and a BFGoodrich heater. This B-3-PW Power Wagon is now offered by the seller on behalf of their father-in-law with Alberta provincial registration. The seller notes that the body was removed from the frame, sandblasted, and repaired before being repainted orange with black fenders and running boards. The rear fenders are replacement units, and the wood planks of the bed floor are separated by bright trim strips. The Braden MU-2 winch bears stamping number 5116593, indicating a manufacture year of 1952. Further equipment includes a tilt-out windshield, a cowl lights, side mirrors, and a rear pintle hitch. A set of replacement windshield wipers is included in the sale. Black-finished 16″ steel wheels are mounted with military-style rubber from Specialty Tires of America. Braking is handled by four-wheel drums. The cab houses a bench seat trimmed in brown vinyl along with a body-color dashboard and a black headliner and door panels. A BFGoodrich heater is installed below the dash, and control levers for the transmission and transfer case exit from the floor. The seller states that uninstalled armrests, window regulators, and other components will accompany the truck. A three-spoke steering wheel fronts an 80-mph speedometer and centrally mounted auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 65k miles, and true mileage is unknown. The T137 230ci flathead inline-six is equipped with a single downdraft carburetor. According to the seller, the engine was rebuilt and a replacement alternator, upgraded fuel pump, and a retrofitted fuel tank have been added. Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case that were rebuilt as part of the project, according to the seller. The frame is said to have been sandblasted and refinished as part of the refurbishment. A reproduction chassis plate has been affixed to the vehicle.
