Hi. I enjoy this forum quite a bit and it was time to officially sign up.
I have a 48 Power Wagon, for about 12 years now; and I have a 42 WC53 for about a year. The carryall is not drivable yet but I hope to have it running and stopping in a month or so...other projects permitting.

If the sticky database thread is still active I would like to add my WC53 to the list, but I cannot post a reply, for some reason. I have the build card and body tag, but My truck has a replacement engine from an M37, I believe.

Serial# 81584840
Body tag# 6267
Built on Nov.25, 1942
Unknown hood number, but another WC53 in the database was built on the same day. It has an estimated hood # of W20167...

Adam in Wa

Welcome, Adam! Although now living in SC, I still own a house in Vancouver. A lot of Dodge fans out there with all of the logging and farming jobs, etc. A civy power wagon is on my wish list, but man they're expensive!

Thanks. I love Washington state, it is beautiful and the people are great! I am a transplant from California because I could not stand it any longer... I know people are worried about transplants ruining their state, but I am a Army vet (Mech. Infantry), retired cop (31 yrs), own too many guns (NRA Life member), own too many cars (according to my wife), and am as conservative as it gets. I don’t bother people and expect the same. It’s funny, a lot of my California friends think Washington is too liberal... of course most of them are cops.

No kidding on the prices. I bought my 48 for $1000 and it included a 51 parts truck, which was only slightly worse condition than the 48. The Carryall was $12,000! But I was lucky to get away with only spending that. The seller had two WC53,s and a nearly completely done WC56 Command Car, which I still think about.... a fully restored M38, an awesome 5 ton, and LOTS of parts.

I will post links to my car & truck photo albums in the near future.

Welcome to Washington! I also have a WC53 that I'm working on, seemingly endlessly. I'm in Anacortes, where in WA are you? There's a few Carryall people up here. Also check : http://www.dodgepowerwagon.com for WA Carryall folks.

Wait a second. I remember your post in dodgepowerwagon.com about this site.

You still need to post some pix.

I’m in Plain, near Leavenworth. We have traded a few e-mails; Btw, I love your blog.

Yes sir on the pics.

Your the guy with the carryall on the flat piece of land below your house and also a Doge Charger build?

Sorry! My name buffer is completely overloaded so I'm forever embarrassing myself on that count. I need a lot of repetition or pictures to remember. See, you're too quiet on the forums. Post more!

Hi Adam and welcome. I’ll enter your details as soon as I get home. Probably tomorrow.

Welcome Adam. I miss my WC 53

Ok Adam...you're entered under 81584840. In a few years I'll be joining you guys in Washington but I'll be in Port Angeles.

Thanks guys!

Hi Adam,
welcome aboard. Don't feel bad about the WC 56, I just sold my WC 57 that I had owned for 11 years, now I will focus on getting my WC 53 on the road

The Carry-Alls are an awesome looking truck!!

Cheers

Ian

San Diego to Washington? That's a bit of a culture change. What brings you up?

Hi Jim...well it was about 10 years ago that I met a Trucker and his wife on a Home Depot loading dock in Carson City NV. They were from Squim and told me about living in the NW. When I started talking to others, I was surprised at how poplar the area around Port Angeles was.

I took a trip up there myself and ending up buying a house overlooking the Straits. Now I just need to get up there more.

Welcome to WA! I get tempted to move away sometimes but love the weather and close to skiing. And, lots of family here of course.

oh and we want pics...

Thanks guys! Here is a link to my photo album...
