Dodge Power Wagon Restomod from Legacy Classic Trucks!

Who needs that Ram TRXwhen he has one 620 PS strong oldschool Power Wagon from the tuner Legacy may have? As one of the first mass-produced 4 × 4 pickups for private individuals, the Power Wagon came onto the market as early as 1945. He uses the one used in World War II Dodge toilet series as a basis and is actually no longer comparable to current off-roaders. But the team from Legacy classic trucks unites the past with the present with successful restomods. And you are particularly good at that! After all, you have to rely on that Catering and the restomodding specializes in power wagons. The Jackson Hole, Wyoming company and its founder Winslow Bent completed the first vehicle over a decade ago and has been around since then about 100 further modifications (example 1,2,3).

Dodge Power Wagon Restomod

The first vehicle completed sold for over $ 100.000, and that success led to many similar ones Restomods. Any conversion can be done with either normal, With extended or with four-door double cabin be ordered. Each copy is completed beforehand decomposed and restauriertWhich of course also applies to the vehicle from the video below.

There is a pocket under the sheet metal GM steering gear, a Saginaw power steering, there were new leaf springs and Bilstein or King long-stroke shock absorbers. And the whole load is slowed down with one Wilwood brake system with perforated and slotted discs. A GM belongs to the brake Hydroboost master cylinder, Stainless steel brake hoses and much more. With regard to the engine, the tuner either installs one 425 hp Mopar 6,7 liter Magnum V8 , or 6,2 liter LS3. Optionally, a 3,9 liter Cummins turbo diesel with an output of 170 hp and a torque of 651 Nm (in the vehicle from the video).

Compressor LSA V8 with 620 PS & 840 Nm

Our personal highlight, however, is that Compressor-LSA-V8 with 620 PS & 840 Nm torque. Switching is done in such a conversion by means of Five-speed manual (New Venture Gear 4500) or by popular Four-speed automatic (GM4L85E). Regardless of the engine and gearbox combination, the pimped Power Wagon comes with one Atlas 3,0: 1 two-speed transfer case, new ones Differentials and Dana axes .

With optional components like a Four-speed transfer case, compressed air operated differential locks from ARB front and back or by means of Axletech portal axes the off-road ability can be improved even further. And you can also see the changes visually. The body still remains classic, the mighty ones 17 inch trail ready beadlock rims with 37-inch (0,94 m) Toyo Open Country all-terrain tires but are unmistakable.

various warning rope winches are available

To do this, you can install one at the front if desired electric warning winch and more Rims, tires and even stronger hydraulic winches there is also. Self electric running boards, additional lights, Stainless steel tool box and even one snow plow can be ordered. And inside? The old-school style is retained, amenities such as different ones benches in both rows, alternatively Single bucket seats or luxurious Captain's chair as well as various leather upholstery, Instruments from Classic Instruments, electrical power windows or a new one Air conditioning significantly improve comfort. In the end, such a conversion leads to a 2,13 m high mixture of old and new, which shows the taillights of the current off-roaders, especially off the beaten track.

sometimes over 500.000 US dollars are due

Only the price should be seen as a disadvantage. Because that's around 325.000 US Dollars for the two-door normal cabin or above 500.000 US Dollars for a fully equipped four-door variant. That translates to "fourteen" Quad Cab Ram 1500s or six TRXs. There is a virtual tour of the truck in the following video from Toyo Tires Number 106built by Legacy Classic Trucks. It's a turbodiesel version with a bespoke interior and an extensive one optional equipment. If we get more information about the changes, there is of course an update for this report.
