This Dodge Power Wagon got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1978 Dodge Power Wagon W200 is a 3/4-ton 4×4 pickup finished in green over dark green vinyl upholstery. Power is provided by a 360ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case with a locking center differential. Additional equipment includes a diamond-plate rear bumper, a receiver hitch, a spray-in bedliner, an auxiliary fuel tank, a bench seat, and 16.5″ wheels. The truck was reportedly purchased new by the state of California as a maintenance vehicle and subsequently was owned privately in California and Ohio prior to being acquired by the seller in June 2022. This Power Wagon is now offered at no reserve with a clean Virginia title in the seller’s name.

The conventional-cab body was reportedly refinished in its present shade of green under previous ownership. Equipment includes a polished grille between orange signal lamps and round headlights as well as fog lights, Power Wagon logos on the hood, towing mirrors, a sliding rear window, a black spray-in bedliner, a receiver hitch, a diamond-plate rear step bumper, and a removable tailgate. The seller notes dimples around the body that can be seen in the photo gallery below.

The cab features a bench seat upholstered in dark green vinyl with a green dashboard and door panels as well as a black rubberized floor covering. Equipment includes a push-button AM/FM radio, shoulder belts, crank windows, and a fire extinguisher. The heater core leaks and was bypassed under previous ownership, and the factory air conditioning components have been removed.

A three-spoke steering wheel fronts an instrument panel that is bookended by a vacuum gauge and a tachometer and includes a 100-mph speedometer alongside an ammeter, an oil pressure warning light, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 68k miles, approximately 200 of which were added under current ownership.
