It's a '73 W200 slant 6 4 spd. Found it on craigslist in the Philly area, and drove it home 3 hrs. last Saturday. Its mostly all original (except for some engine upgrades) with 43,000 original documented miles, it came with a binder of paperwork of every single thing ever done to it since 1975!
Just bought a 1973 Power Wagon

Very nice. Looks to have been well taken care of. Interior looks to be in really good shape.
I have a 77 club cab long bed W200.
You have to love those old Power Wagons. Good luck with it.

3/4 is a nice extra.
I have a 78 318 4-speed swb tough old trucks.
I have 81k documented miles on mine, bought it off the original owner, the window sticker and the dealer paperwork was still in the glove box.
The guy got too old to drive he was 91 years old

Cool. Looks like a nice clean truck especially for your side of the country. I too have a 1973 W200 that my dad bought new and I took it over back in 1984. Mine has the 360/4-spd.
12" Chevy disc brakes is a real easy conversion. Just find a early 70's with the Dana 44. The Chevy spindles bolt up to the Dodge knuckles. Need the Chevy outer axle shafts too. I did my conversion back in 1987. Makes a ton of difference stopping that weight. Dodge didn't go with disc til 75 on the W200 but also went to full time 4wd and is a lot more work converting to that setup.
