gunfun 3,931 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 My uncle had one of those. It died the second time he drove it off a cliff with a trailer. It was pretty cool. The guy he had bought it from tricked it out with a blue flake paintjob, diamond plate, a boom over the bed, and a canopy that was made like a log cabin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G O B 3,516 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I still mourn my '47 PowerWagon that was stolen in '89. If you ever get stuck you will NEVER walk out, where them things go you will need a helicopter or an airboat! I used to carry firewood thru mud up to the pumpkins - she would drag her belly across mud too deep to walk in -GROWLLLLLLLLLAULLLLLGROWWWWWLLLLLL! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ruffian72 548 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 When 1st done with the mechanical. Got stuck in a muddy patch that took 400ft of cable and an oilfield winch truck to get it back to solid area enuff to drive out. Had to crawl out the top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 A rusty beat up winch sure looks better to me on a rig like that than one of those shiny jacked up trucks with a warne winch on the front and un scratched diamond plate rocker panels I see. I still mourn my '47 PowerWagon that was stolen in '89. If you ever get stuck you will NEVER walk out, where them things go you will need a helicopter or an airboat! I used to carry firewood thru mud up to the pumpkins - she would drag her belly across mud too deep to walk in -GROWLLLLLLLLLAULLLLLGROWWWWWLLLLLL! How does one steal a power wagon- at least without it being discovered? They've got to be about the most conspicuous thing around. Sad deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
