: I am looking at a '51 Power Wagon this weekend. It is
: supposedly mostly rust free, and in decent shape, i.e.
: it runs and stops. No winch. However, evidently the
: box was butchered up for something or other at some
: time in the past. It sounds like it would need a new
: box. The price is $1500. Is it relatively easy to
: find a box, or install a later model W100/200/300 box
: and use the PW fenders? Any thing else I should look
: for? Any advice at all?
Tom-
It is relatively difficult to find an original box
for these trucks in good shape or bad shape.I have
heard of some people using the W series beds-don't
know if the fenders are interchangeable or not. There
is an email on this site somewhere pertaining to
that topic. May be in the archives.
Many people give up and mount a flat bed on these
which looks good, but if you are a diehard purist
wanting an original or original appearing bed you
have your work cut out for you.
Good luck
