originally designed and built for the oil-fields in the middle east and alaska

 

Whilst they were used in those areas, they were apparently built because American troops came home from the war and started asking "Where can we get a truck like the ones we drove in the war?" Dodge were the first to respond to the demand with the Power Wagon which was released in 1945 and was very similar to the 3/4 ton weapons carrier they had supplied the military with. It was the first mass produced civilian 4x4 truck.

what a thing of beauty :thumbup1:

 

I took my driving test in one of the 'newer' ones in 1975 as a 17yrs old Marine in BF Gagetown, N. Brunswick Canada. It was brilliant! We used them extensively from 41 Cdo whilst in Canada.

 

There were two for sale on the net just a few months ago, still 'as released' in Yorkshire, should have had one!
