This is the coolest vehicle you've done in a while! Please do more of these types

I just saw this video. This was my cousin Chauncey Uphoff's 1966 Power wagon which we called Super Truck.The truck was beloved by our family. And yes, Jay, the truck is pretty noisy. But it still went to Disneyland many times. It started in Santa Monica, California , lived in New Hampshire for a year and then came back to California. In the 90's sometime it moved to Colorado. My cousin passed away in 2004 and Super truck stayed in Colorado. It's an amazing vehicle and it has many stories. The scariest is one night when we were in Ballarat, California in the Mojave Desert at the base of the Panamint Mountain range. After spending the evening at the local saloon we were going to sleep out back and then continue our camping trip up Surprise canyon to the old mining town Panamint City in the morning. As we settled in to get some sleep, a guy who had been in the bar came out and started talking to us. He wanted to buy Super truck for cash right then. He was very pushy and gave off a scary vibe. We finally convinced him that we weren't selling the truck and he left and was not very happy. We decided that this was not a comfortable situation at all, so we packed up and headed up the mountain a ways in the dark and found a place to sleep. We just felt that the guy was coming back and was not taking "no" for an answer so it would be best if we weren't there.About two weeks later the Manson story was all over the news and we realized that our scary visitor had been Tex Watson, one of Manson's followers who ended up in prison for multiple murders. It turns out that they had been staying in Happy Canyon which is the next canyon south of where we were headed. Watson killed people for no real reason and we had given him one. This is one of the adventures in my life that I consider a close call. But looking back on it, I know Super truck would not have let anything bad happen on one of its' adventures.

Never has Jay had a vehicle on the show that I've wanted more than this.

I like how easy it is to tell when Jay really cares about someone. "His guys" are straight up family to him and I'm sure he paid for a ton of the labor on that thing. Thanks my friend! You are doing the right thing!!!

Nice to see Steve kept everything original, including the brakes. This is what they were in the 60s and we thought nothing of it back then. You just drove it appropriately. Thank you Steve and Jay for sharing this part of history with us. 👍

That is such a great truck. When I was a boy in Cuba, they used to have the Chevy version of this truck with 2WD as our school bus. The seats were wooden benches and one guy was the driver and the other guy opened the rear doors so you could get out. Boy did this bring back some memories. Thanks for this episode and lots of Luck with it to the new owner.

Would absolutely love to have that beast. The color, the styling, everything about it is the bomb.

Excellent episode. I really like when an average car guy is on the show. Plus real vehicles that everyone could buy.

There's definitely an appeal with it today. The grille and '50's style greenhouse are my favorite features. I agree with everything the owner said as to keeping things original, the appeal of unique classics, and that although technology has greatly improved, appealing design has not. I recall my father buying cars when I was a kid and it's was all about how beautiful it looked. He'd step back after washing/waxing and smile with satisfaction. Now typical vehicles have all the appeal of a new central air unit.

Nice Power Wagon. As I get older I realize that vehicles like this, we are more caretakers than owners, keeping them stock and hopefully one day someone else will take over the caretaking of it, just as Steve has done with this one.

We did Yellowstone from East Texas in a 69 travelall. And did another trip to Cripple Creek Colorado in a 71 Carryall...pulling a 70 mini trail,a 69 ct90 and and two 68 360 scramblers on a flat trailer. Took forever but stayed for a lifetime. This wagon just has the look and reminds me of the heavy service vehicles my young mind gathered while staring out the windows on those long distances from a Howard Johnsons or a Stuckies.

Way more interesting than “super cars” WAY MORE! Thank you!

Kudos to this guy for keeping it as close to original as possible. So easy to to just drop in crate engines and modern amenities these days. Very cool vehicle.

2017 PW owner. It"s a daily driver, utility, and a mountain climber. Thank you for restoring this massive piece of history.

This Dodge is awesome! I love it. This, and the truck version, Ram Charger, old Willys trucks, International Scout, old School Bronco's, the first few models of the Suburban and K-5 Blazers have always been favorites of mine. I love the old school utilitarian simplicity. I can appreciate that he went original on the restoration.

Absolute props to this guy for curating this bit of history! I, too, feel that someone ought to be keeping a few examples of the original stock vehicles for posterity. There's a place for modernization, artistic flair and even things like rat rods - but, with a rare bird like this, I'm glad some people are keeping to the original spec.

Another delightful outing Mr. Leno! My uncle had the equivalent--a 1959 GMC Suburban, 389 four speed, 4WD with locking hubs, and curiously, the same green color. What a hoot to drive!

OK, this is pretty cool, and the owner seems like just a laid back, easy going guy. I think I'd need a step ladder just to get into it. That they both got in without one is impressive.

Jay .... 1971 I got out of the Marines. When I got home my brother in law said we need to go to this auction place that sells RailRoad, MaBell, Power Company cars & trucks....mostly trucks. After walking around for an hour I found a dark green Southern Bell 1960 Chevrolet K20 panel truck. 4 wheel drive, 283 4 speed, 2 door, that was rust free. She had small dents and dings, but nothing you'd notice walking by 10 feet away. I nice solid truck with low miles and high hours. I bid all the way up to $70 bucks, I wanted to stay under $100. The next fall I went again and bought the same truck only it was a 1967 K20 4X4 327 4 speed. I fixed the 72 up pretty nice and kept it untill 1988. The 1960 did all the hunting and fishing. If I went fishing, or hunting via a friend's cabin I always had a place to sleep. The 1972 drove south better than the 1960, very different trucks.

As a Marine in the 70's we had many transportation vehicles, Amtracks, Gamma goats, 6x's, jeeps but we also had the Dodge Power Wagon for field ambulances, MP's, light hauling and some were even setup for packs with a power wagon in a Jimmy/Blazer body? With a canvas covering over wooden benches for 6-8 packs, if you didn't have a case of the roids? After riding a couple hours on that wooden bench with 3/4 - 1 tonne suspension going through the NTA on the Rock! You did! Not anything but a grunt workhorse that hardy ever broke down compared to for mentioned vehicles. Never a Dodge guy! But always like the no nonsense Power Wagon series!

Great guy and a great truck. I love these Power Wagons. As a friend of mine would say "I'd buy that at midnight"

That is probably the best looking vehicle I have seen ever. Never seen one before it looks beautiful and your restoration is superb well done

21:50 The owner suggested that he has 'yet to get to the door seals.' You can see the driver's door moving in and out as if there is no rubber at all! I find it very hard to imagine that any vehicle in 1966 has single master brake cylinder...wow. what a great review! What a great vehicle! I want one!!!

A great looking truck. In the early 1970's a childhood friend's dad had one of these Dodge Power Wagons, I thought back then it was a great looking truck. Sure is nice to these specimens preserved. Great channel Jay.

He’s such a nice guy. I’m glad he’s got that PowerWagon

I’m so glad to see an old original vehicle. I know we need a balance between old and the brand new but new Ferraris and Lamborghinis or electric vehicles leave me cold. Horses for courses as they say. But I love the old originals like this one. Great video.

I've always had a place in my heart for these big trucks/wagons! So glad to see it stock!

Oh Yeah...Premo segment! Beautiful restoration done with love and care. For me this is the best kind of segment. New thousand horsepower exotics mean nothing. Just a rich man's toy. But projects like this? Solid Gold!

What a great driving position, left arm on the door belt line, 2 fingers on the wheel, right hand speaking italian!!! Thanks Jay, always great reviews.

One of my favorite front ends ever. As I was watching this it occurred to me that the nearest thing to this today is the Toyota Landcruiser 78 series "troopy" which isn't even sold in the U.S. Simple by most of today's standards and very rugged.

What an awesome manly vehicle. This thing makes any other truck look like a Prius.

Really do more of these. Seen enough fast cars. Like some of the comments, it’s great he kept it stock… 👍🇺🇸

I love these things (especially the Town Wagon version)! The "back and forth" between Jay and Steve was nice and easy as well as informative.

Can't beat a Power Wagon! Awesome machine

This one just made my day! Bless you for restoring it. The colour is absolutely perfect. Did anyone else notice Jay's door was not completely closed during the drive? 😟

Jay - you need to get a 1960's era station wagon on our show - they were a big thing back then, and never see them around anymore.

This thing is absolutely ridiculous and I love it. Really nice guy as well.

That is one cool ride. Kudos to everyone who kept it and restored it. Priceless history.

If you ever would see a bigfoot family driving on the highway, it would be in this car. And the stereo is playing "Mississippi Queen " full volume. 😊

I really enjoyed this. I'm glad there are folks like you two who are interested in preserving our automotive history.

Love the look of that Power Wagon. Power steering by Armstrong. Sure wouldn't have hurt sales if they'd have had 2 more doors.

I really like the restorations Vs customizing, keepng "Auto" history alive. Thanks for showing this one, Jay!

I had an uncle who had one of these things… I think it was a 63 or 64. Family reunions were hilarious. He would throw so much crap in there and we just head off to a lake. There was no shortage of things to play with…

Simply the coolest I've ever seen! Park Ranger / Railroad High - Railer for sure! and my Favorite COLOR!

Absolutely beautiful restoration.

I love it! Great job on the restoration. People of "a certain age", have got to memories triggered by this truck. Thanks for sharing it😁

Many years ago some family friends had a couple old Power Wagons,one very much like this one and I have loved these old trucks ever since.

I appreciate that he kept it stock. It turned out great. Love the green.

Thats one great looking truck...Way cooler than the modern 4X4 stuff!

I love how jays door is just rattling while going down the road

I owned a 1965 and a 1966. Best vehicles I've owned. Had a lot of fun in them. mine were window vans like this one. Also come as a panel van

I had a 1965 Dodge pickup that had the power wagon tags on the hood, ( it might have been 1964) toughest, best p/u I ever owned. It had 100,000 on it when I got it and the big block 318 was done. I got a small block 318 and put rings and bearings and oil pump in it and drove it for 10 years and gave it to my bro' for some tools. Six or seven years later he gave it to a pal of his who drove it for years after that. What a rig.

That’s some proper gauge steel. Solid. And a nice shape overall

It was of course, based off the Dodge truck of the 1950s but interestingly, when the trucks were restyled, they kept the old style for these models.

How nice to see a true Power Wagon inside and out.

I applaud Steve for restoring this rare Dodge beast! Preservation of historical vehicles in their original form allows you to really see what a true driving experience is and was back in the day! Beautiful restoration!👍

I know a lot about those things and that was a very accurate summation of the facts. Well done!

It's wild to think THAT'S the stock ride height of those things.

I have been looking for this in a 6x6 forever ! This is beautiful, show room quality, looks like it was assembled at Dodge yesterday as a 2022 !! A true artist put this together with his team as a passion build ! Awesome 👏

I had forgotten about the wagon version of this Dodge. Good to see it.

Thanks so much Jay for sharing these types of stories with us!! Always love the show and your willingness to provide info on such a variety of vehicles

Dodge needs to look at this and bring this back. This thing would sell like crazy today.

I was introduced to a lime green 3/4 ton power wagon when I was a kid in the 70's ..it was used every day by my friends dad..he ran a handy man/plowing service in the Chicago land area and he ran those Deestone or Samson Traker tires..you know the ones..real heavy lug skinny bias ply's..as I grew the paint faded and he did his best to keep the rust out of it..I do have to say as other trucks in the neighborhood came and went that power wagon kept going and going..

This reminds me of the old adage "They don't build them like they used to". This is very cool. I love the simplicity. Thank you.

Love that wagon. I have the truck verson, 64' w100. My neibor bought it after the forest service used it and put a flatbed on it. Its a short wheelbase, turns tight corners like a rock crawler! Its a non LA 318 runs great , love driving it around with my dog! Thanks Jay for all your content!

I have a 1966 A100 van. It drives. In the end, all that will remain are pyramids, slant six engine blocks, and Dodge door hinges. These, they built strong.

I was walking down the street one day, I was about 8 to 10 years old when this Power Wagon (somewhat similar to the one featured here) it was the Sheriff's department's in Larimer County Colorado. It pulled up next to me and stopped. To my surprise My uncle who was the Under Sheriff at the time was driving. He asked me if I wanted a ride. I was probably 4'8" tall so it seemed way up there. Fortunately there was a step and I got in. Of course it had all the Sheriff markings and the big bubble gum machine red lights on the roof. I was surprised how spartan the interior was. I felt pretty proud as we drove off.

I love this truck. I bought a 70 D200 from an old farmer in Indiana. All original with slant 6. Drove it to work every day and cross country a couple of times.

I can’t believe Jay didn’t try the horn “they always overlook the horn”

I was 16 years old at this time and this was a "Truck" ! Oh how I wanted one but damn, the dealers wanted money for one, which I didn't have. I look at this Dodge and then I look at my 2021 4x4 Ram sitting in the driveway and all I see is a flimsy 2021 Daisy. My first 4X4 was a 1972 Dodge Power Wagon with most likely the same 318 V8 and drivetrain.

One of the coolest old trucks, only ever seen a few of them in real life. Never seen one this clean and original anywhere, beautiful work!

“It’s like owning a giant dog” lol simply awesome!

Nice old truck and love seeing the poly 318 in it! The poly and 318 in general are very under appreciated. That poly block can take a 120 over bore and can be stroked out to over 420 cubes. Its a shame no one makes an aluminum performance head for them.

66 was the last year for the single master cylinder. Jay, you have it in your 66 Hemi Coronet and I have it in my 66 273 Coronet. Awesome truck; reminds me of the Batman TV series and all the Dodge vehicles (some looked like this; others may have been Fargos). So cool. Nice to see it in its original condition.

I love this thing so much. The stance, the color, everything about it is perfect.

I love those old Dodges..........I had a 1962 Dodge Power Wagon I bought when I was 16.....now I'm 67,,,, gave it to my son......its still in great shape... stored at my shop......we call it the Predator.....ha ! ....... great job on the restore !!!! thank you for the great vid.

Great episode! I love the old vehicles in their original condition.

Nice job on the restoration. We saw a older power wagon (WW2) era, love the simplicity of that type of vehicle. Thanks Jay

Inspired by this episode to keep going on my Eggshell White 1963 Dodge Town Wagon. I learned to drive in it. It's in tough shape, but the rebuilt engine is running well, and that's a start. Thank you.

It's so friggin' hilarious that you two look like little kids beside this beast...I love it! I'd drive it daily, for sure! Thanks again, Jay and crew for yet another well done episode!✌️❤️🇨🇦🙂

What a great truck. That interior is beautiful.

I love this kind of restoration.Just like walking into a time machine and walking out and here is this perfeclty done just beautiful work truck.American greatness on display.

In 1965 my father bought a Chevy Carryall . Same 4 speed with granny transmission big straight 6, 2 doors three rows of seats. I drove it all through high school, it was very popular with my friends. Sometimes I would have to fill it up twice in one night. Happy days.

I love that thing. VERY cool! I bet the nice lady you acquires it from is very pleased with the wonderful restoration that's been done on it.

All Dodges are hard to get parts for since they were ALWAYS changing things. So I can not imagine how hard it is to find parts for this truck. I am thrilled that this truck has been saved, and what a cool story as well.

Beautiful truck. My dad always bought GMC Suburbans, those vehicles have a very country feel

When I was a kid in the 60s my family had a beach house on Fire Island- a barrier island off Long Island. There were no roads (still today) but the fire department and the utility companies traveled up and down on sand trails next to the board walks in these. What I would give to experience those sights and smells again.

This is one of my favorite episodes...keep up the great work, Jay

Very cool truck, and Steve seems like a really great person. Well done, Steve!

A friend of the family had a '61 Dodge Power Wagon with a PTO, winch, he bought used from Wege Dodge, Pasadena. He bought it to travel to treasure hunt in Mexico after Poncho Villa's hidden gold. That truck was the ultimate go anywhere truck! The hubs were engaged by pulling and turning levers at each front hub.

Obviously these two have known each other a long time. It’s nice to see a relaxed guest showing his unique vehicle.

The 68 Dodge D300 pictured behind me came from the factory with a 9-inch Bendix, dual-diaphragm brake booster; a great improvement over the manual brakes. With the hydraulic clutch, the booster hung off a pair of 4 inch stand off brackets with a dual circuit master. That booster was on the 63 to 68 pickup and my D300.

That's a rare beast for sure. Awesome!

Once again, Thank you Jay! The true heros are the people that resurrect these vehicles but you deserve credit for showcasing them and renewing interest in old styling. As an aside, you have a remarkable wife, why don't you showcase her and her passions once in a while?

The scale of everything is so funny in this video.

Beautiful job sir and as much as I like modified ones it's great to see one stock original. I could easily have an entire collection of Power Wagons but wow, if you think the prices have gone nuts in the US you should see what one costs even unrestored in Australia!

As a car guy, working for Jay must be a great gig. It's not profit driven, there is a ton of variety and they have time for their own projects. Plus what sounds like good job security and Jay takes care of them well. Ideal.

I remember a family in our church and school in little rock arkansas had a 2 wheel drive 1 of these still painted orange from the AHD, probably carried a survey crew for them. Love these simple robust and stout old vehicles. Excellent restoration. Thank you guys for showing it. It's a privilege to witness such history.

Love when he has these old oddball vehicles

I love the odd ball stuff too, Steve! I love these old trucks, always wanted one too. By the way my brother had a 1973 International Scout that was registered as a "station wagon" by the D.O.T. also. Back in the good old days the term S.U.V. had yet to be uttered. :)
