My first thought when going over the pictures is that it looks like something the US government would build to go out in the sand with,... like in north Africa. :thinking :study As for powerplant, I'd guess a 413 to turn those big tires.

Powerman, you can find that brochure by doing a google search for Dodge Power Wagon Terra Tires.

Cummins not "Cummings" and cummins were not introduced to dodge till 1989.

I know that boons, im getting a 89 w250 with a Cummins, sorry for the spelling, my computer corrects my spelling automatically. But I think it would be epic to throw a bug Cummins or maybe a cat engine into it :P what you think?

Dodge had Cummins trucks in the 60s and 70s.

I think the medium & heavy duty trucks used all sorts of engines; Cummins, International Harvestor

Don Bunn had a book about Dodge big rigs.

Not sure about light duty trucks.

The International engines used were gasoline V-8's displacing 478 & 549 cubic inches. Cummins Diesels used were NH230, NHC250, NTC280, NTC335, V8-210 & V903, but not in light duty trucks.

Diesel engines were provided by Cummins for installation into heavy duty LCF trucks. Both inline and V-type engines were available. 1963 marked the first year for the Cummins V6 engines and were just one of the many available engines for these trucks. http://www.sweptline.com/hist/bigtrucks.html

You might have to change the size to read the last page. I didn't have a way to save it so I had to use the original size.
