Sure, but most people don't want the trucks because they are cramped and have a top speed of 45mph. They want them for the look and attitude. Problem is that it's hard to have a stock Power Wagon as anything other than a toy for most people. Most of us would love to own a big chunk of land somewhere and putter around in a stock truck doing various outdoorsy things. But reality is I live in a city and a stock power wagon is barely useable for a trip to the local home store. So it either gets some modifications to make it useable, or probably something worse. Best case it finds a home with someone who has a modern truck that can trailer it to shows and places it can roam the land, but to me that's sadder than what I'm doing to it.
Either way, we're lucky there are enough of these trucks to make them into all these different versions, because it's one more truck that gets to be saved and enjoyed, modified or stock.
