1949 Dodge Power Wagon as a Quad-Cab V8 Restomod

We have to show you this monster Dodge truck. A vehicle that we think would also go well with He-Man. It's an old one Dodge Power Wagon, which is considered to be the predecessor of many modern pickups from the present. Specifically, the vehicle dates from 1949 and thus belongs to the first series that was built between 1945 and 1950. The classic was rebuilt in 2014 by Legacy classic trucks from Driggs, Idaho and it's currently up for auction. And given that the conversion cost more than $ 300.000, according to Legacy Classic Trucks, it's clear which direction the auction price should head in. Of the Restomod is, by the way, a hefty 2,13 meters wide, 5,18 meters long and a full 2,08 meters high. This surpasses the Hummer H1 in every respect, which is "only" 1,95 meters high, 2,19 meters wide and approx. 4,57 meters long.

Visually, the XXL off-roader shows itself with a matt green paint and painted black Stockton rims with mighty Off-road tires. Many join them black accents like about that fender, the Headlights, the Foot Rests, the rearview mirror up to the classic "Dodge / Power Wagon" Lettering on the hood. Also the Front apron, including the Braden MU-2 winch, is black.

The cabin is now equipped with four doors, resulting in one shortened loading areawho, by the way, with wood floor is equipped, leads. And that goes without saying Interior completely revised and upgraded. It is kept comfortable to allow a longer journey. In front there was new seats with a brown leather cover with light-colored seams, there was a black one Three-spoke steering wheel, electric power windows, a Power Steering and also one Vintage air conditioning is installed.

360 cubic inches (5,9 liters) Magnum-Mopar V8

Even one Speedometer up to 320 kilometers per hour is built in. This is in view of the 360 cubic inches (5,9 liters) Magnum V8 with electronic FAST fuel injection and Custom exhaust system with Magnaflow silencer a bit optimistic though. Although the monster is definitely much faster than the series, we find anything over 160 km / h unrealistic for this vehicle. So half the scale would have done it. The same goes for the 10.000 rpm tachometer. Incidentally, the V8 is coupled to one NV4500 five-speed manual transmission , and a NP24 transfer case. And the load is braked by means of All-wheel disc brake system. Finally worry WARN freewheel hubs on request for all-wheel drive. PS: in the video something similar Vehicle!
