I pointed out the military Dodges in case Chris confused them as Power Wagons. I thought I made it clear he needed to chose between militarized Dodges and civilian Power Wagons. Chris asked for any and all help for choosing a "Power Wagon". I usually assume newbies asking for help probably also misapply the Power Wagon name to military Dodges.
Now, I seem to recall this "Power Wagon" name debate tearing up the board before. I hear Power Wagon often incorrectly applied to militarized Dodges. So what? All that tells me is either the person is a newbie or they just nickname all Dodge 4x4's as Power Wagons. If someone says "1941 1/2 ton WC-12" or uses the T series number then I know I'm talking to a serious collector or enthusiast.
I think what is needed is to help the newbies by posting useful information, not sniping at others posts. The correct way to have handled this would have been a little post clarifying the difference instead of telling me my post was out of order and Chris did not ask to hear about the military Dodges. Could you read his mind? I couldn't, that's why I posted what I did.
Now, it's Christmas time. Let's cyber-shake and make up and go on like this never happened, OK?
