And it probably still whistles, rattles, squeaks and rides like an old Dodge. $300,000? No. Who are those guys?
 
ICON is a big name in custom cars and trucks. They built this truck three years ago. Haven't budged on their price, either. It's quite a fantastic Power Wagon, but not $300K large.

For that money, I seriously doubt that there ARE any rattles, squeaks, and whistles. Nothing at all stock about the driveline, chassis, or very much else.
 
$2500.....

Nice truck....but

Probably can build one for $30k and still have beer money left over.
 
I like these old trucks the way the factory built them. The wheels are too big for the wheel arches on this one. The radio sounds impressive thou...
 
The point is this, if you want your 2016 RAM 3500 to look like a 1965 truck, add another $225k to the RAM sticker.

I challenge anyone to find a slick '61 -'71 Power Wagon for anything less than ten grand these days. Even 4x2 trucks are more often than not $5K+ for a runner needing work. Finding a runner that is worth doing anything to for less than $2,500 is near impossible. This ain't 1997 anymore, boys and girls!

So, what are you asking for it? $2,500??? I don't do "make offer" deals. What do you want for it?

Like with Ford and GM, a Dodge 3/4-ton isn't gonna bring the same money as an otherwise equal 1/2-ton.
 
The shop that's painting my Polara just got a 1963 Power Wagon crew cab. Check out Labrecque Auto Craft when you get a chance. Some very nice rides come out of that shop. PS. Alan, great photo of the pick up at the drive in.

If I was in the market for a classic truck... this would really do it for me. Especially being 3/4 ton... Its a truck and you don't plan to lower it heavier suspension and brakes is the way to go. Parts will probably suck to pay for though... 3/4 is usually lots more for brake parts.
 
I remember the 3/4 tons for one reason, without 2 pallets of cinder block in the bed, they road like Conestoga wagons.

My 1964 3/4 ton crew cab rides like a dream, I've driven it 500 miles in a day with no fatigue. It's just a bear to parallel park though. (Armstrong power steering).
 
Very cool truck. I love the nickel plate accessories. I'm sure it's built well but it's hard to justify the $300k pricetag. Buy the 3/4 ton pictured above and spend 15k on a Cummins conversion and be done. Id leave it orginal..
 
They don't expect to get 300k, it's just a ploy to get someone to make a stupid offer, that turns out to be beyond full retail.

The crew cabs I remember were old rail road trucks, painted yellow. You couldn't give them away.
