This truck is a 1971 W200 4x4 Power Wagon. Until last year I drove it daily. Then I bought a newer truck and since then have only driven the old Power Wagon about once a month. I have thought about restoring it, but with two children in college there is not any extra money. I have owned the truck since 1990, and driven it about 5000 miles per year. It has a 318 engine, and is very dependable. Even in the coldest parts of Wyoming winters it always starts and runs well. The transmission is a four speed and it along with the transfer case and 4 wheel drive all work well. All of the dash instruments and electrical components work perfectly.
It is a very rare and unique truck because it has factory power steering and factory air conditioning. (The air conditioning has a small leak, but it works well for about two months after being charged.) Also, the box is not the standard sweptline box, but is a full length stepside box.
Three years ago the brake drums were turned and the shoes replaced. The front drive line reconditioned two years ago. Also a leak in the gas tank was repaired about three years ago.
There is a tiny bit of rust at the bottom of each door, but that is all. (Wyoming does not use salt on its roads, so the body is basically in really nice shape.) The windshield is cracked, but the rest of the glass is good. The front grill has been dinged on both sides. I replaced the wood in the box when I first bought the truck, but it is due to be replaced again. The mileage is unknown. When I bought the truck the odometer registered about 20,000 miles, but I am sure that it had already turned over once. I personally have put about 50,000 miles on the truck. Also, I replaced the odometer and speedometer cluster about 5 years ago, so actual mileage is just a guess, but my best estimate is that the truck has about 170,000 miles on it.
The truck is in good running condition and I would not fear driving it across the country. No matter where you live it could be driven home. This truck would be a great unit to restore or just drive as it is.
