I spent some time chatting with the lad in the background of the
picture. He and his dad had salvaged the machine from a farmyard and had
taken it on. He indicated that this was the first 4 wheel drive truck
introduced to the civilian market. I don't know if that's the fact, but
he seemed pretty sure of himself.
He is VERY proud of his truck.
This one is powered by the original 218CID inline 6 that it came from
the factory with. When they did the restoration they used bed liner
spray on the running boards rather than the original gloss black enamel.
I think that was the only unforced "improvement" they made. I don't
think the tires were stock, but I suspect that after nearly 80 years,
the stock tires are no longer readily available so they did the best
they could.
Thanks all for looking and commenting.

Great pic of a fabulous machine. Here’s a later model Power Wagon that’s not as
cool looking, but it’s special inside, where it was modified for a quadriplegic
driver.

I spotted this at the local car show today.
Apparently they are quite rare. This is a ground up restoration.
