This is the beginning of a long and beautiful relationship- meet Towpar, my current project. She’s a 1976 Power Wagon with a club cab and a flatbed.
Specs- 3/4 ton, Dana 60 axles front and rear, 4.10 gears, auto transmission, NP203 T case, and 440 cubic inch V-8 (7.2 liters for our metric friends).

I bought her for one hundred doll hairs, not running or driving. I’ve so far cleaned about 10 lbs of dirt out of the cab, replaced the starter, removed the flatbed, and done a lot of troubleshooting on account of the phenomenal farm truck wiring.
To do list- sheetmetal repair, mechanical repairs, refinish the frame, flatbed, and body, swap from auto/NP203 to manual NP435/NP205, fuel injection, add a/c, and drive it!
I have a pop-up trailer in my backyard that I am going to scrap out; the frame will be the basis of a square drop build to go behind the Dodge.
