1951 B-3 Dodge Power Wagon
Barn find – well at least it’s found in my barn…
I am supposedly the 4th owner. I bought it from a fellow in Virginia who was in a bind, he bought it from somebody who supposedly did a cosmetic “renovation”. That person bought it from the original owner, a farmer in PA. That’s the story I got anyway.
This truck was in the condition I had been searching for years – mostly original, unmodified, and a good body and chassis. This was the one and I never thought of selling but medical bills, and college for the kid dictate otherwise.
Licensed, insured and driven on the road but not long distances, just around the farms and occasionally to town. Been sitting in the barn for the past couple years now, firing it up and driving around every so often. You might have seen it at the Iowa rallys in the late 90’s early oughts.
B3 with the early gauges and bed.
Non-synchro tranny.
6 volt.
Vent wing doors.
5.83 gears.
Known issues:
Master cylinder leaks down (not slope top); transfer case leaks (what doesn’t right? But the seals need replacing, it leaks too fast); bed floor needs new wood (plywood over original); winch gear box leaks; needs passenger side window (it’s there but cracked and missing metal wing trim); several broken leaves; could use new transmission/transfer case mount bushings; Incorrect headlights but they look good.
Positives:
It runs, drives and stops; 9.00X16 Power Kings have age on them but not many miles; new winch cable; I’ve replaced brake lines, cylinders and shoes in the past several years; good windshield and crank; minimal rust: cab corners, roof seam and wiper pockets are good; Selectro lockouts; good cowl lights
