If you buy a Power Wagon without specific knowledge of the truck,you may end up paying a lot for the knowledge you will eventually get. Better to pay someone a few hundred bucks to look at the truck for you, if necessary.
Get a truck that has a winch, a good bed and rear fenders. These are all, in my opinion, necessary for a good Power Wagon.
There are several critical rust spots on these truck, like the lowest part of the cab at the back and where the cross members meet on the frame.
It's almost always cheaper to pay more up front for a good truck than to pay to fix a bad one.
