Mopower79 has other ride profile(s):
This is my 1979 Dodge Power Wagon.
She bosts a fresh 383 Big Block a 727 Tranny & NP-203 transfer.
I've spend close to 7 years getting her to the condition she is now..
Its been a "Love-Hate" restoration project..
I Love the truck... But I hate the "lack" of aftermaket & custom parts made for these ole' Wagons...

So take a look at her & let me know what you all think...
Thanks...
GO!!!  MOPAR!!!

I whole heartedly agree...No after market parts. Its pretty annoying, Iam rebuilding an 86 D100 from the ground up am running into the exact same deal...love the truck, hate no aftermarket...But then again,, just means the ol dodge trucks are unique..which I prefer, i dont want something everyone else has

Thanks..
There were some issues with the tranny linkage. But easily fixed with a cable operated B&M Truck Mega shifter..

Thanks for the Comments guys...

I stubbled opon the 383.. I really lucked out!
I got it out of a 68 Coronet Station Wagon 79,000 miles on it & best part... IT WAS FREE $$$$
