Vintage Promotional / Informational video about the Dodge Power Wagon as a war vehicle and the transition to civilian and municipal duties.
In 1965, I took a ride in a "monster" Power Wagon to go to school in a forest and mud area in the interior of Brazil. I have good memories of this wonderful machine.💪🇧🇷🇺🇸❤
I like how the guy drops one orange and instead of ignoring it he puts it back in the box. And stacks it up with pride. Something you just dont see nowadays
That's a sweet Dodge truck in your avatar/picture
Jacob Smith thanks its a 1970 Fargo W300 power wagon in okotokes AB Canada
@@cameronmcpeak5183 that's awesome, I love a good Fargo from my friends to the North. Happy trucking my friend!
Cause they got paid by the crate. My grandparents were pickers back in those years. School would let out during the picking season. Working from sun up to sun down none stop. Had to be quick to fill up the bucket and not bruise the produce. Only got 5 cents per bucket back then so you had to be make sure to get every one to get your pay.
Invaluable document of history of 4wd in US. Thank you.
Well after 75 years, my two 1944 3/4 ton Dodge WC51 and WC54 are still going, stil working . Built by people who understood that lives depended on thier work.
This comment is gold!! Exactly my friend, exactly! See, what most people of this new era forget and what has since unfortunately died, IS manufacturing of vehicles being genuine to their word/advertisements and made 101% without much B.S implicated in em. Pickups and semi’s were made for hard work and longevity throughout many moons, and most of these old rigs that were well taken care of may ride rough, but run almost better than the new era comfort shit. We (the U.S.A) sold out for all the foreign tech crap, cheap fiberglass and plastics, and forgot about the pride of hard-work and what trucks could be capable of doing + lasting the next 10+ years! We definitely have gone backwards throughout the generations. I feel after the 80s, trucks just became garbage, even look wise! Sure, I get how we need all the add-ons with cameras and sensors, and even luxury comfort these days with work trucks, cause the general public and all the people on the roads make traveling/towing more nerve racking, however... I’m good with no radio, bucket seats, no heater/A.C, and a loud rough engine with lots of torque to get the job done! Don’t need no fancy paint scheme either.
I kind of fell into the Dodge trucks because I collect M series Military trucks, to date I have restored 2 M37 Dodges and last year found a 1950 Power Wagon Civilian (my first) the truck had 18K original miles. That one is in process of a full frame off resto it will be put back to perfect original condition aside of being converted to 12 volt from 6 volt. Its going to be a beautiful truck when completed!
Might want to go electric on the wipers. The vacuum wiper system isn't great
Hey Karl I have a dodge 1952 Dodge M152 im restoring currently if I have and questions maybe I'll shoot you a message see if u can help me out
Great video and info!! My love for 4wheeling started at a young, young age, cause my Dad and Gramps were in the logging business up here in Northern California (where I grew up), so I was always around big rigs and 4wheelers of all kinds. But, my love for the Power Wagon really got burned into my heart when my Dad had a friend who owned a couple from the early 50s, I think they were ‘51s, and even though I would ride passenger.. lots of memories in it collecting relics in old mining/ghost towns, getting Christmas trees, and it was the first rig that I was in that concurred the infamous Fordyce Trail out here! They’re beasts and still look/hold up hella fricken good!
que hermosa historia bravo !!!!
Good old truck PS thanks for the great video
That trio of Power Wagons and all those attachments starting @19:10 on that farm are incredible !!!
What a classic-a time when work ethic, man & machine, and craftsmanship were unrivaled! (Now I see how my running boards got so beat up 😂)
I always liked Chrysler corporation products,this film is super cool, what a gem it is ,they owned the factory built 4wd pickup market back then,just like they own the muscle market now no one touches the Dodge demon,or Cummins turbo diesel pickup, not then not now
Love this documentary thanks for sharing! Helps me envision my 1951 power wagon back in the day that I am restoring on my channel!!!
I HAD THE TRUCK, 68 MODEL, LAST OF THE LINE, DAMNEST TRUCK I EVER HAD
what new trucks only dream of being half as good. regardless of brand
you can't put a new fwd truck what those old dodges could do. first, the axles were huge, the axle shafts half again as big, the knuckle seals were different than the dana 60's of today, more waterproof, the tires were 9.00x16 and heavy plys. the transfer cases were all gears, no chains. put all those under a modern body and you might have the same capabilities. automatic transmissions not even thought of
My dream truck is a power wagon even if it’s a old one I’m buy one before I die
Great, now I want to plough a field in a power wagon, THANKS DODGE!
Best truck ever!!
Thanks for posting this for years I've have been looking for promotional video this is something that I can spent the entire day watching thanks again
Thank you for posting this. For years I have been looking for promotional films of the old PW. This is exactly what i was looking for! Thank you! Please post more videos if you have them!
They were pretty tough but when the m-715 came out... they weren't wanted as much. 5 quarter ton was on nearly every Ranch and farm.
Outstanding upload!
luv my power wagon
Amazing history of this I'll keep this close to me when are man fight in ww2 and some live and die what they did
What a cool video of an even more cool truck. Would love to have one
LOVE the guy @5:50! whole truck under water and STILL workin' a butt in his mouth!!
Not enough can be said about that man's cavalier attitude towards the task at hand.
America saved the free world, we have forgotten history, our emence prosperity after world war 2 has made us complacent and ignorant, It is Amazing how far we have declined in a such a short time.
True!
I want one.
Awesome video thanks for posting I own several of these power wagons and 7have have been in family since new I makes me sick seeing inbred resto mod crowd rip the original heart and soul out of These work horses and give them the girls touch automatic transmission LS bullshit Or Modern hemi crap i guess they drink woke bud light... 😅 only changes i have done On 2 is Hiway gears and better brakes 55mph cruising .. and we have many implements That came with trucks as option... love hearing this video with plowing that whine never Gets old .. 😊 i have 2 that are fire suppression for forestry service they retired in 1965 Grandad bought them 1966 and they still fight fires at our ranch and plow a fire break to this day .. again thanks for sharing this 😊
They don't make trucks like that today they're made to fall apart
Excelente veiculo.
i wonder how much did it consume gas with the plow.
Its great to see them make it to the cows ans you can plow a nice spot for the cows to stand they should of made a decent lean 2 for the cows to go and have cover when they need even though cows are tough they are live anamals farmers forget i know i wouldent want to stand all winter in un roofed area at least give them a 3 side lean 2 building
3:43, that's Lee Iococa haha!
i don't think that today's hummer can match these old dodge trucks. make the same thing with a cummins engine.
Legacy power trucks does this.
Got me a new Ram 2500 with the Cummins motor not a true power wagon but an amazing vehicle.....a beast...
i have a ram 1500 --09 been driving since 15 yrs old 88 now this is best truck i ever had -- can count on 1 hand items had to fix
