1972 Dodge Power Wagon, W200 Crew Cab, 440 big block, 4 speed (435), NP205 Transfer case divorced.
Rear axle Dana 60 and front axle Dana 44. Power brakes, front disc, rear drum. Vintage 4-inch Rancho lift. Power steering, slider rear window, side and rear glass is tinted. Interior has been redone with stock bench seats. Factory AC work’s needs, a charge, but blows cold. Dual fuel tanks.
This truck was in storage and revived. The paint is thin on the passenger side. The pictures make the paint look better than it is. The truck has an older spray-in bed liner. Has a new optima battery with new Marine grade battery cables and terminals. When I got the truck, the clutch was stuck, so I replaced the clutch, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing, and resurfaced the flywheel. Installed new bearings in the transmission. Everything looks like original Mopar 1970’s era parts right down to the Thermoquad carb. The underside of the truck is very clean, very little rust. No leaks.
The truck has solid floors, wheel arches and rockers and very little body rust. There are two small spots in the pinch weld above the windshield and a couple bubbles in the lower front passenger door. There may be some other very minor rust that can be easily repaired when you repaint it. This is a very solid truck, and it shows great care was taken in the older restoration. From my examination, the truck was a small block, and at the time it was restored, it had the big block and 4 speed added. The truck runs and stops and is registered and insured in California, where it is smog exempt. The 440 runs out very strong and does not smoke. The Thermoquad was never my favorite, but this one seems to be working well with minimal hesitation and none of the normal issues. I was going to put a 5.9 Cummins in this truck, but believe because it is a rare factory AC crew cab with disc brakes and power steering and in such good shape, I could not do that. It has a hitch, and I installed a brand-new trailer brake controller and trailer light connection. I have used it for a couple swap meets to haul my Jeep, but it does not get the use it deserves. I drive it once a week to keep the battery charged and everything lubed.
I am listing this truck for a price I believe to be below market and very fair, but I will listen to offers.
Bring cash, drive it home $13,500.
