I drove one of these when I was in the Army. What a beast. It was identical except it had and industrial 318LA engine and a manual shift automatic tranny. It had 5 ton rockwell(like a deuce-and-a-half but bigger) axles with no suspension. They were bolted to the frame. The axles were really narrow they would tuck under a jeep with no problems. I would have them do some measuring before you bid they may be to narrow for a Power Wagon. There was a lever coming up from the floor that would move left or right. That was for the rear wheel steering and if I remenber correctly it would stay where you put it, no automatic centering. This was handy when moving CH-47 Chinook helicopters in and out of the hanger. Another thing I remenber was the front bumper. It was HUGE, easily 2000 lbs by itself. Like I said it was a beast. If you were not careful you could pull the landing gear off a helicopter.
