1979 Dodge Power Wagon 318ci

My first vehicle back in 1985 was a 1979 Dodge pick up just like yours. I remember having trouble keeping the front wheel from coming off. Atleast 2 times the bolts loosened up and egged the bolt holes on the rim. ..... Then the rear axle spline let go and the axle started to slide out from the axle housing... But the motor would never quit.

Sorry to hear about your problems with your PW, I have aluminum rims on it and have no problem with wheels loosening. Knock on wood no drive train problems. You can't stop that 318!!!

It doesn't still look this bad. It has all fresh fiberglass front fenders and hood along with a trick custom aluminum radiator and support. I haven't worked on it in several years now, mostly because I hate doing paint and body and can't afford to send it out.

Hey, Brian, I love '55 Chevys. That's a big 'ol "Ouch". Got any current pictures? Been on CT lately?

I had one! Wish I still had it. It had been painted black though. No emblems except gold "Trans AM" on rear spoiler. Mine was an auto; car really begged for a 4-speed...

Don't get excited i'm not a man that cares about paint too much but it is a 3 owner numbers matching car with no rust and I have full history from new from our local small town dealer . I use it as a daily driver in the summer. someone in their wisdom gave it a home paint job and it lost the bird off the hood...i'l let my kids worry about painting it lol
