Power Wagon Yard Find-Value?
 
I just got back from a service call from a local drilling company, and, when driving through the industrial zone they're located in, I passed what looked like mid-'50s military Dodge Power Wagon flatbed, probably a 1-ton, sitting on the side of the road under a foot of snow.

Since I was on a schedule, I didn't have a chance to inspect it, but a quick glance made it look pretty complete, with a more-or-less intact body-very restorable, at any rate.

If it's as good as it looks, what would something like this be worth? I've always loved the old military Dodges, they're some of my favourite vehicles of all time (Second only to the CMPs).

You may have seen.....
 
A flat fendered Dodge Power Wagon.... ran the same round cab from 1947 to late sixties.

Value....... depends how complete....rarest part are the cargo box.

Value will be less the recovery expenses from your location to main parts of Canada or the States.

Have a look at the Power wagon forum...... and Vintage power wagon in Fairfield Iowa.

They can be in the mid $25K bracket when fully restored or as low as $5K right off the farm.

Try to get us a picture.

Took a better look today-no pics, since my camera is in the shop.

It's got some sort of weird dual-wheel setup up front. They're not standard wheels, to be honest it looks like two tank road wheels bolted together. Maybe some sort of rail-riding setup.

Box is aftermarket, a flat deck with low sides and what looks like a home-made steel tube bush bar at the front. The whole box may be home-made, actually, looks like sheet steel and steel tubing.

One fender has a pretty good dent in it, but nothing that couldn't be hammered out given time and a set of body hammers.

I'll try and get pics of some sort tomorrow, even if they're phone pics.
