Civilian PW Cab?

Post by PareosWC »

I saw this Dodge locally, and was wondering if that is a civy PW cab on a WC 1/2T chassis?

Civilian cab, but likely from a standard pickup or truck. The civilian power wagons have a much shorter filler panel below the doors. They also have the raised hump in the floor for the curved crossmember that the transfer case attaches to, like a 3/4 ton WC.
The bed is probably a 48-52 or there abouts. Has higher sides that the earlier bed and the newer fenders as well.
That's what it looks like to me anyways.
