1961 Dodge Power Wagon WM300 Flat Fender

All original. unrestored driver. This truck was bought new by the Bordens Milk Co. in NYC. It was a tow truck used to recover their broken DIVCO delivery trucks. The lettering is still visible on the doors. It was sold off to a private owner in upstate NY in the late 70s. It later found its way down to a NJ farm where it sat for many years in the barn. This is what helped to preserve the truck so well. It is all complete and all original to the best of my knowledge. I have removed and stored the tow boom to make it into a regular pickup. The rear crash bumper was removed and scrapped. Clean NJ title.

The cab is very solid. The only cab rust that exists is in the right boot cowl. Its at the bottom edge and is a very easy repair. The front fenders are solid as is the hood. The rear fenders have been patched several times over the years. The running boards are in good shape. The bed is also in good shape. but needs a new bed floor and strips. These are easily procurable through Vintage Powerwagon or MarKay. The tailgate needs some rust repair or replacement. I have a used tailgate to replace it. All the lights and accessories work with the exception of the wipers and gas gauge. The front bumper has the Braden winch mounted. but i never finshed installing the remaining parts to get it working. i have everything but cable. The interior needs to be restored however all the original hardwear and trim is included. as well as the original Budd lugnut wrench and jack!

The drive line i belive to be original to the truck. The engine runs great. No smoke or noises. It runs nice in all temperatures. It has the original "rare" overflow coolant tank. The brake master cyl was rebuilt as well as the power brake booster. The brake assemblies where all cleaned lubed and reassembled with new wheel cyls. These brakes work awsome. The gear box is solid and has a synco between 2nd and 3rd. The 4x4 works great and the front axle has unlockable hubs. The tires are in good shape and all hold air. The stearing is nice and tight as well as the front end. No wobbles or noise.

This truck is running and driving perfect. I was enjoying this truck as a survior and was taking it to many car shows. She brought home a couple of survior trophies too. This is the perfect powerwagon to enjoy and restore down the road. or tear right in and make it a pristine example! I had all intetions of keeping this forever. but life gets in the way sometimes.

Im not desperate to sell. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. But please dont waste my time and yours if you are just kicking tires.

Thank you
