The New Dodge Power Wagon

Legacy Classic Trucks builds complete restorations from the carcasses of the iconic Dodge Power Wagon

The Dodge Power Wagon holds a unique place in 4×4 lore. Other than the various iterations of Jeeps used quite successfully around the world during World War II that catapulted the still rising popularity of Jeeps today, the classic Power Wagon may just be the most hallowed of four-wheel-drive vehicles ever built. Although production of the Power Wagon didn’t begin until 1945 (introduced in 1946), it was a direct descendent of the Dodge ¾-ton WC series military trucks used by GIs in combat theatres all over the world.

When many of those men came home to farming, ranching, mining, and carrying out the day-to-day business of making a living, the sturdiness and utility of that Dodge WC was fresh in their minds. It was a no-brainer to look to the new civilian issue of that four-wheel-drive workhorse they knew so well for the next great task¬–rebuilding their lives and reinvigorating the industries of America.
