This is my '79 Power Wagon W150. I had one in high school but sold it and took a few trips to the desert with the gun club. I'm back and trying to get back into the swing of things, so I bought this in January. It's a pile right now, but it's coming along.

Right now it's got 6" of lift and walks on 35x14.5R15 Super Swampers. It's got a 318 2bbl/727AT with an NP203 transfer case. I'm rebuilding a 383 and it should be in by the fall of the year.

I'm doing a little painting now and will post pictures as I make progress.

Here are some new pictures of how things are coming along.

I got some new mirrors and I'm getting some body work and paint done.

I put a "new" bumper on with the OE push bars and powder coated the grille.

I put new tail lights and tailgate net on the first day I had it (if anybody needs a tailgate, let me know, I've got 3). The bumper on the ground is "new", too, but I've got some body work to do before it goes on.

The only thing I've done to the interior so far is install a Grant steering wheel, paint the gauge bezel and repair the interior lights, window cranks, etc.
