    I really hope you all enjoy the Power Wagon Rescue!! 😃 I wanted to give a bit more background. I was told the truck was purchased from a neighbor. He was asked to drive it over and park it in, what was then, the front yard. We found some pieces of an old For Sale sign that coincide with this. With nearly 100 other vehicles on this property (including the Galaxie XL), I suppose one could justify not driving it again. Many of the dents, not from current tree growth, appear to be from being hit while logging the land in the past. Sadly easy to get to items (bumper, radiator, tailgate) have been picked off by passerby’s. We’re really excited for this one and to take it to the next step! Definitely need to do some trailing!

    Hello From Kentucky. Back when I started at the equipment repair facility with the highway department in 1991, The crew that sprayed the highway right of way had two of the 3/4 ton Dodge Power Wagons that would go anywhere I believe. I know those trucks had V8 engines and I believe the 4 speed manual transmissions as well as the 4wd shifter next to the gearshift. Those were the days before the 4wd trucks were so plentiful in which the vast majority of the pickup trucks were the 1/2 ton 2wd Dodge trucks with the Slant 6 inline engines and mostly automatic transmissions although we did have a few with the 4 speed transmissions. The government fleet vehicles as a rule were extremely “Plain Jane” with pretty much just the heater and that was pretty much it.

He's had so many of these 4x4 short and regular beds (even today has a 60's 4x4 Dodge panel truck) that he's given grandsons/son (and wishes he hadn't lol). Remember fun times in them (he's the type that made his own trails if you know what I mean) too. My sister was always right there too (they still adventure in the hills now in the Mega cab)! Didn't have any doubt you and your Dad would fail on this one. Little more work and cleaning of the interior you'll be more in love.

    I grew up on the opposite side of South Carolina from y'all - Lowcountry. Growing up we called Dodge trucks of this vintage "pasture trucks" because when they wore out or just stopped working, farmers would just park them in their pastures because they knew they couldn't sell them or trade them in. Woods aren't pastures but I'm getting the same vibe from this one. That being said, you and your dad take the same thorough, methodical and common sense approach to your rescues and I have every idea that you'll get this one in good enough shape that someone will have fun driving it. Looking forward to following along on yet another successful Budget Build.

    Good tip for stubborn spark plugs in an iron head: Don't be afraid to use a torch on them and get them warm, as long as you concentrate the heat on the plug, you'll break them free every time.

    Great job getting it running. My first vehicle was a '77 318 2 Barrell van and that motor looked very familiar as I replaced the alternator,water pump, timing chain,lifters, starter while I had it but so hard to believe I was only 19 -20 yrs old when I done all that. I had a glass pack on mine sounded sooo good. I wouldn't have the patience to do all that nowa days. I also had put Direct connection chrome valve covers on mine to fancy it up a bit.

    Hello from France. I have a fondness for old faithful mules like those pick up trucks.
    I don't care if they are worth close to nothing. A vehicle that can transport you & can be a work tool is priceless to me.

    Rust isn't ever a patina, it is just rust.

      That's technically what patina is as well. An oxidation layer on a non ferrous metal.

    Watched many videos like this but never thought about an important item needed until it was mentioned: 🔑
    There’s something like a ‘66 Dodge Dart parked behind the large shed in the backyard of the house I’ve been renting since July. No glass (all broken) more rust than paint and can’t get to the front for all the brambles.
    Never thought about looking for a key, pretty sure the owners tossed it or have it in a dusty jar somewhere. Sure you can jump these heaps, but having an ignition key saves a lot of extra work.

    Just great trucks.my first pick up here in England was a dodge 1977 D200, 318 was toast ,727 was fubar,40 years on she runs a 360 fresh trans I rebuilt and I still got her, as I worked on it friends came by and told me of an ex military 1978 4x4,I dropped the rusted out cab and shortened bed on to a unimog chassis and used CUMMINS power, be great to see yours come together, I love these trucks.
