This 1951 Dodge Power Wagon DGX-2 was purchased new by Calgary Power Ltd. in Alberta, Canada, in July 1951 and was used as a service truck at the company’s Spray hydroelectric plant in Canmore, Alberta, until 1986. The utility company—which by that point had been renamed TransAlta Utilities—had the truck refurbished around 1988 and subsequently used it as a promotional tool before selling it to a collector in Alberta sometime in the 1990s. The vehicle was imported to Iowa in 2008, and further refurbishment work was performed before being sold to an owner in Arizona in 2010 and had it shipped to Arizona. The current owner acquired the truck in 2024 and is still in Arizona. Finished in green with black fenders and running boards and brown vinyl upholstery, the truck is powered by a 230ci flathead inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. The Dodge has been converted to a 12-volt electrical system with an alternator and is further equipped with 16? steel wheels, a Braden winch, a pintle hitch, wood-plank bed flooring, a roof-mounted spotlight, a tilt-out windshield, and a heater. The current owner has much of the historical paperwork and photographs, refurbishment records, service manuals, spare parts. Not sure when the engine was replaced, original engine # T137-23989
