I first got into Power Wagon's when I happen to drive by Fred Lantz's house and saw his red WM300 sitting in his driveway. I didn't know him at the time and he wasn't home so I left a note on his windshield and left my number complimenting his truck. A couple days later he called me up and asked if I wanted to come over and take it for a drive. I was hooked!
Fred introduced me to Dennis Sherman and we looked at a few different trucks together. In 2015 Dennis offered to sell me a truck he had recently started, a 1962 WM300. I spent a few years working on it and putting it all together, but I'm happy to say its almost complete!
In 2019 I bought my second Power Wagon, from Dick Aviard. A 1964 WM300, all original with 15k miles. I built a new stake body dump bed for it, replaced the head, and added some Michelin XL 11.00 X 16 tires.
What can I say I was hooked from the first time I sat in Fred's truck!
