1977 Dodge Powerwagon
This is my brother Cal's 1977 Dodge Powerwagon W200. This truck was originally bought new by our grandfather in 1977. In 1997 Cal purchased it. In the summer of 2003, we
swapped the original 2bbl 360 and 727A for a low mileage 440 with 0.030" shaved heads, a rebuilt OEM Chrysler 4160 Holley
carburetor, and a rebuilt 727B. The truck is a 3/4 ton 4x4 Club Cab Adventurer, full-time four-wheel drive with many options. This includes tinted glass, A/C, Cruise, power steering, power brakes, overload springs and shocks, and it only has 85,000
original miles. This truck has spent most of its life cruising all over the west either towing a 5th wheel, a boat,
snow machines, carrying a camper or going through the mountains.
This Dodge is in great condition, every thing works perfect. It is nearly stock, with some mild improvements.
The original split-rims were junked in favor of some factory Dodge tubeless wheels with a set of
Michelin tires. Also, the original AM/FM was replaced with a Pioneer with a detachable face. Also, the 22 year old 2" dual
exhaust was removed and replaced by a 2.25" totally aluminized system with Monza resonator tips.
To improve the stance, the sagging 3-leaf front springs were replaced with a set of 1974 Dodge 6-leaf springs. This raised the front end about 2 inches to make the truck sit level. The
original rear step bumper has been replaced with a smooth chrome one from a '84 Ram Charger and a
receiver hitch.
