1978 Dodge W200 Power Wagon Crew Cab $4,500 [WA]
The Good:
1978 Dodge W200 Power Wagon CREW CAB
Originally an Air Force truck (missing nomenclature plate)
Originally blue, now painted white on the exterior
Interior is still blue
Originally a 318 truck, now has a 360
I was told that the previous owner put in a new RV2 cam and cam bearings
Engine has great oil pressure, 60+psi
727 Torque Flight, shifts nice
Full time 4wd, NP203
Dana 60 Rear axle
Dana 60 Front Axle (Not just any 3500lb Dana 60, but the heavy duty 4500lb. Dana 60!)
4.11 gears (3.54-4.11 carrier)
6" Front spring lift

New ignition module and 2pin ballast resistor sold with truck
New rear axle carrier bearing sold with truck
Official Mopar shop manual CD sold with truck
Just put 400 miles on the truck last weekend. Even with the 4.11
I was able to drive 65-70mph on the interstate, +-2750to3000RPM
The truck runs and drives nicely, especially considering the 6" lift
It would be easy to replace the front springs with 4" springs and remove the rear lift blocks
The steering correction block is the same for the 4" and 6" lift applications
The original odometer showed about 65K, the new VDO shows just 450 or so (4th of July 2011)
Overall a good truck, life is just too busy to complete another restoration now that I have a 10mo. old
All of the exterior lights work , right down to the rear license plate lights
I would drive this truck anywhere (with a few tools packed away in the cab)
It handled my 400 mile weekend adventure no problem
The bad;
The floorboards have been repaired once before. The repair work was average to below average
However the rocker panels are solid!
The are bondo fixes and small dents throughout the body
However, to be loaded and sold with the truck, is a complete original front clip from a 73-75 era dodge
This front clip is magnificent, excellent shape. This clip is in one piece; inner and outer fenders, core support, grill, and hood
The rear tank is out of the truck(to be sold with the truck) It does not leak, but does have signs of previous repairs
Included in the sale is a new Mopar fuel sending unit for the rear tank
The gas gauge (currently wired to the cab mounted tank) is not working, I believe that original appearing sender in the tank is bad
One of the rear doors is in good shape, the other has a dent and rust along the bottom
Included in the sale are two rear doors, among the 4 rear doors one left and one right are in good shape
I just started to notice a u-joint squeak from the front axle area, not sure if its an axle or drive line joint
The truck needs new window and door seals
The bed has rust through over both wheel wells and is not in great shape
A replacement would be required if the truck was to be restored
Typical oily engine and tranny. Appears to be leaking from the valve covers
Though the engine and tranny are oily it does not drip on the ground
The interior dome light does not work
The build sheet is missing, I found just a tiny corner from where it use to be under the rear seat
The fender tag is still in place on the radiator core support
There are a few small holes in the interior roof were it looks like wires used to be ran, possible up to a roof mounted light?
Asking $4,500 obo
I have more pictures available
The truck is located in West Richland, WA
Clean Washington title in hand
