i am curently in hawaii on my honeymoon. i am in maui and my wife and i were headed to the road to hanna and i spotted at the maui diner a very well kept power wagon. i think it is maui dave's truck. it appeared to have been repowered as it had a pto cable in the cab to work the pto braden winch instead of a lever. i am respectful of other guys rigs so i didn't open the hood. it was a green early pw with combat rims, great lug tires and a great early bed mounted on what appeared to have been poly skateboard wheels. i took some pics of the truck and some great mods that he made and will post them on the site when i get home. his fuel filler had a professional looking tube setup brazed on that allowed the tank to breathe but not let water in. it was a pretty trick setup that i am tempted to duplicate on the command car as it is a bitch to fill and vent. i was hoping to find the owner and talk to him about his truck and see what was under the hood. dave, if it is you, e-mail me as i am in maui until saturday night and would be interested in meeting you for a beer to discuss pws. it would be a great pw accomplishment to meet a HI power wagon owner. if anyone knows how to contact dave, please pass this along.
aloha all and thanks, mannyc
