1951 Dodge Power Wagon M37 Modern 4x4 Chassis 5.9 FI, O/D Auto, All Pwr, A/C

Reasonable Rides and Rods presents this very unique 1951 Dodge Power Wagon for your consideration.  This beast draws a crowd everywhere you drive it.  With the modern drivetrain, you can literally drive this truck anywhere.  Professionally built and upgraded, you will be impressed with the workmanship.  This truck was built with hundreds of labor hours invested along with a substantial financial commitment.

Body and Paint

The original 1951 M37 Power Wagon body has been professionally mounted on a modern chassis (1998 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4).  The truck has really decent paint and retains some of the “patina” that developed over the years.  It really fits the truck.  It has rock solid floors and bed.  Every panel fits up right and the doors open and close as they should.  The hood does have some cracking due to filler, but it is mostly covered up with the military star acetate.  It sports a canvas top that is in good condition and fits well.  All glass is in great shape and new weather stripping has just been installed.  A custom grill was made for the front, along with a heavy duty bumper and Warn winch.  The exterior presentation of this Power Wagon is outstanding. 

Drivetrain/Engine/Trans

The 1998 Dodge Ram chassis was professionally shortened a few inches to fit the correct wheel base.  The 5.9 gas fuel injection engine performs flawlessly.  The engine is stock and only has a performance air cleaner and performance muffler installed.  The automatic overdrive transmission shifts through the gears as it should.  The truck retains all of the modern accessories from the 1998 Dodge, which makes the truck a great driver.  Power steering, Power brakes, and it even has heat and AC.  The transfer case and 4wd system all works as it should.  All of the front suspension components are new, and the truck drives great in town or at 75 mph on the highway.  No tire noise, vibrations, road walking or driveability issues.  It absolutely drives like a newer truck.  No leaks, funny noises or any other issues.  The engine operates cool even on 100 degree Texas days with the a/c running. 

Interior

This Power Wagon has original seats (recently recovered) and original dash.  The gauges have been upgraded to modern VDO gauges and everything works.  A Vintage Air compact under dash heat and a/c unit has been installed for driver comfort.  Even with the soft top, the a/c gets ice cold and heat works great.  The Dodge Ram steering column and steering wheel were used in the conversion, along with the ECU and OBD port.  The Ram 4wd shifter was retained.  All lights, switches and electrical components work. 

Tire and Wheels

This Power Wagon comes with 15 inch steel Pro Comp black wheels and brand new Toyo Open Country MT 37x14.5-R15 tires around.  These radials allow for a quiet and great driving truck and have less than 100 miles on them. 

Overall

This Power Wagon is an incredible vehicle.  The professional chassis/drivetrain swap makes this a great driver.  I have literally been driving it every day and it is very enjoyable to drive.  It has plenty of power, awesome 4wd capability, and great looks.  It would make and ideal hunting vehicle.  Absolutely no disappointments here, and you can fly in and drive it home any distance.  We have a Georgia bill of sale with the original VIN (non-title state) and the clear title for the donor 1998 Ram, so it can be titled either way depending on your state’s requirements.
