According to Don Bunn, " Dodge introduced two new low-tonnage conventional cab four-wheel-drive Power Wagon models in 1957--W100 half-ton and W200 three-quarter ton pickups." The 1956 HW four-wheel drive conventional cab was not called a Power Wagon, even though it had everything it needed to qualify as one, and no Power Wagon emblems were on it. Likewise, with the introduction of the Town Wagon as a two-wheel-drive model in 1956, there is no mention of any 4-wheel-drive TW Power Wagons until 1957. Even if Coleman or Napco or Dodge Truck's Special Equipment Group made any conventional cab 4X4s in 1955, they would not have Power Wagon emblems as you point out, unless some Power Wagon envious person put them on or the cab is from an older truck--a very devious, sick, and warped thing to do, probably by somebody who now drives an Explorer.
