Not sure who would have tried using a 5th wheel trailer with a short box, 318 manual 1/2 ton. https://klamath.craigslist.org/cto/d/klamath-falls-1978-dodge-d150/7815920672.html Never, ever argue with an IDIOT.

White painted wheels I would probably repaint blue or black, or replace them with something else. Last edited by Neil; 01/26/25 01:22 PM.

The interior is nice, looks like the turn signal is broken, but that an easy fix. Being a manual is a plus for me. The price is okay, if you just want to fix a few things and make it an occasional driver. My Monster are real! Living within your means makes life pretty easy.

Really works better than a bumper pull, just don't turn too sharp. About 10 yrs. ago I bought a Warlock Power Wagon out CA. to be restored that had also been equipped with a gooseneck hitch for pulling a cattle trailer. The owner told me he had hauled cattle to Idaho with it. I don't haul cattle with it anymore: WANTED-- DEAD or ALIVE: '70 Duster--- VS29H0B274908-----UPDATE---ENGINE BLOCK FOUND---Still looking for the B-5 car. '79 Power Wagon W14JE9S137761 or 763
