Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is old news, but i just found this neat little short film about how the Dodge Power Wagon (and several other Dodge trucks) helped the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) film crew on the set of "King Solomon's Mines". There's some great action shots of the PW's crawling all over the African soil, It even features some A-Frame and Bus action.

Its worth a view if you have high-speed.

Also, towards the end of the film, they said that running 7 Dodge trucks through all the rough terrain for 7 months only cost $200usd (in 1950s money) in maintenance. Pretty impressive.
