Pete in Denver. Try Vintage Power Wagon Inc in Fairfield, IA (Address in Power Wagon Page) Also call Mike there. If he doesn't have the answer to your PW questions no one has. When you get it fixed up it will make a great work truck and increase in value as the years go by. Have fun. George Farrier
: I recently bought a 1964 W200 clubcab from a friend. I bought it in desperation for a work truck, but now I have decided I have something worth fixing up. I have a few questions that maybe someone out there can answer.
: 1) It has a 383 V8, but I don't see that engine as original anywhere. Is it?
: 2) If I'm fixing rusted body panels, is it better (value wise) to find real panels , or can I create new metal.
: 3) Where can I find some kind of manual or at least spec. sheet on my truck.
: 4) How does a gas guage work? I've got power to the guage, a complete circuit to the tank, but no needle motion? I fear the problem is inside the tank.
: -Also, can you add a second tank without major surgery.
: Any advice would greatly appreciated.
