1978 Dodge W150 Power Wagon 4X4

Description

Time to get your hands on a heavy-duty rare 4x4 Mopar. This 1978 Dodge Power Wagon pickup is a great way to stand out in the vintage pickup world without having to give up serious truck utility.

Dodge trucks just seem to have a unique presence, especially when dressed in two-tone colors. And this nice slotted mag wheel might make you start thinking about a vintage custom cruiser. But that's not quite the right vibe for this one. Instead, we like this because it just looks like it revels in a hard day's work. The bed isn't afraid of real jobs, and the rear bumper is all steel with a tow hitch on the back. So while the orange and cream have a nice trim line separating the two, the real impression of the finish is a mean machine that wants to blaze its own trail every day. Even the details have an industrial level of cool with the large tow mirrors and the Dodge dealer's name etched into the rear bumper to tell everyone this was born to be a Texas truck.

The interior has quite a stout style. The orange bench seat, saddle tan door panels, and thick back floor cover all mix attractively. It makes for an updated style without ever being called "fancy." Instead, the most indulgent feature is the sliding rear glass that lets the breezes flow through the cab.

Under the hood is a utilitarian presentation of the mighty 360 cubic-inch V8. This long-standing Mopar powerplant inhales deeply with a Holley four-barrel carburetor. It exhales with added power and rumble as headers feed the dual exhaust and updated pipes. The heavy-duty W150 line means a beefier 4x4 that's up for just about any off-road task. In fact, this is a full-time four-wheel drive vehicle with a locking transfer case. That means not even having to get out to engage four-wheel-drive while still offering choices for when you need more specialized traction. Plus, a newer set of BF Goodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires really enhance the go-anywhere ability of this classic Power Wagon. But for those days when you just want to run around town, this Dodge can be quite comfortable with its three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and front discs.

The value price on this Dodge certainly leaves room in your budget to restore the air conditioning, add a kickin' stereo, apply a high-gloss finish, or do any other project. But we really just like how this one is now. It's a Power Wagon that makes a powerful statement about how real trucks earn the best respect. Call today!!!
