2016 VPW Iowa Rally

Here are some pictures from today. Dad and I shared the 16 hour drive and made it from Dallas to Fairfield overnight. Fun stuff!
Edit:
I can't post many pictures due to Hotel 8's horrible wifi. Many more will come in the following days, but here's a teaser:

Yep. It's a very rare conversion. Only a few were made. A carriage company would make a bus cab and place it on a Power Wagon frame. This particular one has a Cummins Diesel.

I feel bad about not posting pictures, so here is a link to all the pictures I've taken today. When I get home I will upload them here.

barnfind is right. It stands for Vintage Power Wagon, which is a parts warehouse in Fairfield. I will post a link to pictures of their place tomorrow.

Real 50 cal or replica?
There's some great iron in that yard. Thanks for posting these up!

I love this truck. I can't pic a favorite though but here's the answer to the urban sprawl issue. Power Wagon with a Ma Deuce mounted in the back.

Half real half Hollywood. The combustion chamber has been hand built to fire off of propane. The owner uses the truck for demonstrations regularly.

Thanks for posting. I have a particular soft spot for the Swepties.
