Peter,
That is what I thought also and I am tracking it down. If you look on the site that photo came from the early M325 CommandCar used WM300 chassis with the axles we are used to seeing. Seems that some time in the late 70's they switched over to a Dana 60 front/Dana 70 rear setup.
What is the cool thing is that according to the frame dimensions it is the exact same thing as a WM300. So by inference the axles should directly bolt up to a Power Wagon.
My feeling is that Dodge sold the chassis and running gear to Israeli Automotive and they dropped the body on.
Would like to get my hands on one of those bodies and drop it onto a Power Wagon frame.
I was able to get a set of CommandCar manuals and makes for interesting reading as far as late Power Wagon development goes.
