PWs were made in "flatfender" form from 1947 to 1968. Rust is a bad thing, winches are good. Fenders and beds are hard to come by.
At the risk (extreme risk) of drawing heavy fire and making this into an endless thread, I will say that it is my opinion that a good, complete, driveable Power Wagon with a winch and without significant problems should sell for about $4000-$5000. Note that this is not a restored truck, just a mechanically sound one. Opinions differ, and your actual milage may vary according to your local, the size of your wallet, and which opportunities you hit first.
As an aside, the cost of fixing up a Power Wagon with problems to running condition has a way of hovering right around that $4000-$5000 figure, but you get (have?) to do the work yourself.
