: I am looking at a '51 Power Wagon this weekend. It is
: supposedly mostly rust free, and in decent shape, i.e.
: it runs and stops. No winch. However, evidently the
: box was butchered up for something or other at some
: time in the past. It sounds like it would need a new
: box. The price is $1500. Is it relatively easy to
: find a box, or install a later model W100/200/300 box
: and use the PW fenders? Any thing else I should look
: for? Any advice at all?
I can only echo Dallas' remarks about starting with a truck in good shape. If not, you most certainly will be in for a long scavenger hunt. On the up-side, everyone I have dealt with has been super helpful; you don't get into this hobby without a lot of patience.
