Dad bought one from US forest service , my brother and I were instructed to load it up with the biggest rocks we could pick up as to fill a bad wet spot in driveway ! This was 1966 , we gained a lot of respect for Dodge !
I had a 1959 Town Wagon in college in the early 70's. It had an old "wide deck" 318 V-8 and a 4 speed. The rear axle was full floating. Had 12:00 tires on iton white spoke rims. It was bad ass. Wish I'd kept it.
I was going to say that it is outstanding but I looked down and someone else already said it first. It really is a outstanding vehicle. Looks great and lots of extras for a 58 for sure.
This Mark dude has a complete STUNNING COLLECTION of unique trucks!!! Wow never seen anything like this in trucks before, being an Lincoln and Imperial guy but damn incredible Sir
This video is really well done. The interviewer leaves a lot to be desired, but the owner knows his stuff and speaks well with no BS. They didn't say it, but this is also very well restored and I guess it's a show truck.
@@thewriter2549 Very much so, as they were using a lot of the information that they gleaned from their experiences building 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton 4x4 trucks and ambulances for the military
These are amazing I have been watching these for years almost bought a 57 town panel 4x4, what is truly amazing is you can bolt another set of wheels on to the existing wheels and have dualies all around, talk about go anywhere!!!
@@thewriter2549 WWII military trucks often added a second set of wheels to the steering axles of their trucks, all the way to 2 1/2 ton trucks- these added in the mud and especially the snow-
Gotta love the 8 3/4 rear end in that unusual application. Oddest place I've ever seen the 8 3/4 is front and rear differential in a tracked snow vehicle.
Climate change is FAKE!! And I Do NOT Give A Rats Behind About Electric cars!! As Archie Bunker would say. CASE CLOSED!!! 8/5/19 8.05 am cst USA...TRUMP 2020..
Nothing like a work truck made so expensive only a business magnate can afford it!😂 Seriously though that’s a spectacular find and I’m SO glad he’s kept it all original. I’ve only seen a couple at car shows over the years and they were both military surplus, still cool but not a swanky Town Wagon
Thanks again Danny - this guy Marc collects very unusual 4 x 4's and fleet type vehicles and fire trucks making his collection one of the most interesting I have ever seen. Marc is also an expert on these vehicles, as revealed by his expert commentary. I like to give people like this credit for what they know and what they do for the hobby,.
You notice it only had one shifter for transfer case,meaning it was like a newer 4 WD ,most 4 WD of that era had two shifters for transfer case one shifter for 4 WD or 2 WD and the other shifter high range or low range

Unfortunately dodge trucks haven't been built like that in a long long time. And now......dodge trucks no longer exist.

Thanks for sharing!! Great looking truck!!
Lookin for one right
now!!!
🍀🤙🐺🧙♂️👍🍀
I don't think I've ever seen one of these before, but man its cool.
The owner knows so much about it that it makes me happy that he's the owner.

Beautiful truck Prestige and class! When America made great cars and trucks! Take me back in time☠⚡⚡
That is the most amazing vehicle ive ever seen beautiful. has now become my dream car. Thanks for sharing.
I had a 1963 retired Navy truck had it painted Artic blue and white!
What a beautiful beast....
Sweet ,this comming from a die hard ford guy !!!
Super cool truck...love the color, that is awesome.
Those tires probably didn't have as much traction as they look like they would have but they sure do contribute to the beastly aura.
You could climb a tree with those bias ply tires. They rode awful, hard as a rock but you could go anywhere with them.
Outstanding truck! And it has the original wheels too!
This guy's trucks are nothing short of stunning. I wonder how much soul one would have to sell to get one of these....
Don't think they are quite in the "sell your soul" category... Probably more a kidney-price range!
Yeah, beautiful truck.

Amazing Truck ! Omg I’ve never seen one like this !!
This truck is bad ass! I love the look!
I like the color, too. Did Dodge excel in these types of vehicles in this era?
@@thewriter2549 Very much so, as they were using a lot of the information that they gleaned from their experiences building 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton 4x4 trucks and ambulances for the military
Great truck, love to have this one.
A beautiful work of art. If only they could make something like this today.
Man! I rather have that truck than a new one anytime!👌🥰👉❤
You and me both!

I did not know that, what a picture that would be.

My oh my, what a thing o' beauty. Functional, utilitarian, and beautiful. This is what trucks should look like -- minimal chrome, purpose-built.
That is an awesome truck. And it's been restored to a perfect shape. Thanks for sharing this with me.

this is the one of the coolest cars I ever seen I want one so bad man
Oh! The "Grand mother" of the Ramcharger.
That’s an awesome vehicle. 1 of a kind.
That is a beautiful Dodge
dat front bumper...ramming speed!
Beautiful vehicle. Thank you for showing it.
Gorgeous truck!
It just looks like it can go anywhere
WHAT A GORGEOUS TRUCK!!!
Some ground clearance there!
My freind has an unrestored 58 that has been driven north to Yellowknife, NT Canada 🇨🇦 several times from Bellingham, WA Neat rig.
Looks like something I’d make in snowrunner
what a beauty of a truck
Amazing. and wonderful truck
Simply awesome...
Look at them uprights on that front bumber ! really says get out the way !

Amazing truck, I am going to have to make a 3D model version of it for sure
Nunca tinha visto este modelo de caminhonete. É uma peça única, como se diz à qui no Brasil, uma verdadeira mosca Branca parabéns.
Nunca ouvi essa expressão, uma mosca branca. Essa é boa e se encaixa.
@@thewriter2549 sou apaixonado por carros antigos.
Now that's a bad old goat u got there 🐐
That thing is awesome!! I would love to have one!
Man that is super freaking cool.

That's a gorgeous car
Mopar Porn! LOVE IT!!
Love it have a friend in Skagway Alaska has one.
I think I said WOW!! a 100 times watching this
The 315 V8 engine has huge cylinder heads which look like hemi heads. However they are often described as polysphere heads which are very rare.
Good looking truck.
Super cool.
Beautiful car. Very good. Very funcional
They sure did get it right.
Makes me miss my '58 W200.
Fantastic
I MUST have one!
Another good one Mr. Jerry!!!

Jerry Heasley I believe he makes a guitar or two as well....;)
Very nice.
That is so dang nice,I'd love to own one.
What a find..!!
That is one cool truck.
Super Power Giant, eh? Someone at Dodge was unafraid of hyperbole.
That’s a cool truck
The old stuff is still impressive.
Crazy badass truck
What a Beaut!
I'll take 2 😎😎🔥🔥💨💨
I would prefer this vehicle over anything being made today
Nice truck
That is TOTALLY AWESOME
“It goes to 110”
“Unlikely”
Precioso auto
That looks like some good daily driver material.
Beautiful rig, appears to be a Mopar guy from the vehicles in the background.

Beautiful
You are
Oh wow, that’s beautiful. Geeeeez.
Very nice
FABULOUS!
old SUV's are built like tanks..must've been replaced with the city wagon🤣
So glad you didn't start it. Would have sucked to hear it run and see it drive.
Won’t be long now, liberal cali won’t allow you to even start this beauty to hear it run.
Wish we could have heard it run.
Cool vehicle!
Simpler days simpler trucks far better times ....The tree of knowledge eventually bites one in the ass with trucks that are too complex.
I bet the truck would really go well in the snow
Wish you wouldve taken it for a spin down the road, probably loud and slow but still awesome
To a Russian like me, it looks like they nicked the wheels off a GAZ 51 truck.
It's a beautiful looking machine.
Built on the Dodge Assembly line unlike Ford and Chevy which were sent out to have them converted into a 4WD
Dad had a Studebaker pick up.
I bought a 1974 Power Wagon.
Boy,this thing is awesome,ugly,but awesome.
Check that bumper. Could shred a water buffalo. 🤣
Beauty
Very cool!
What a Beauty
This is bad ass! Love it....how many vehicles do you have??
Masterpiece
Indeed!!
