Putting the first PW body on the last Power Wagon chassis
So I have a 1941 Dodge WC Military, the first W series Dodge 4x4 truck, and I am considering putting the body on my '93 chassis, partly because everything that Mother built above the chassis is falling apart after 434k miles, and partly because I just love my 1941 body style.
You guys cool with that? Can I still be in the 1st gen club?

I'm all for it as we haven't had a new build thread in awhile

Well that's way better than putting the WC on a chevy or rat rodding it IMO. I fell in love with those at an early age. They sat so tall, sloped hood and looked way tough for a "1/2" ton.
What kind of shape is the WC in? Pictures? Just be sure and don't scrap the straight six, chassis and running gear, etc,; the Power Wagon crowd might could use it.
Have you taken measurements as far as wheelbase etc?

Wanna keep the duallie look. Will have to section the frame on my '93. Still deciding between long, short, or stake beds (short would be using this military bed just like it is).
Will have a doghouse but there is plenty of room in the cab so it won't be obtrusive in any way.

My vote is keep it short, bed, just as it is.
The matching patina of the desert paint treatment is just great.
Cool project plan. I will be following along.

I was just storing the toolbox there, it isn't on there now.
Plan on putting a bug, big, black 4" stack up the cab with a rain cap.
