Thank you for your interest in my beloved truck that I have owned since 1986. My love for Power Wagons began in the
mid 50's, growing up in rural Colorado, when these trucks were truly necessary to complete difficult chores over
challenging terrain. I bought my first Power Wagon when I was just 13 years old, for around one hundred dollars. In
Colorado, as in some other states at the time, drivers licenses were granted to kids as young as 14 years old, so
that they could haul feed, livestock, and contribute to the family farming and ranching operations. My 1946 had
lived a typical life for these trucks, with the battle scars to show for it. It needed a fair amount of work to get
it going, but this didn't bother me, as I was pretty handy with a wrench at a young age, and I knew I could have it
going by the time my license was valid! That first non-running truck was hauled home by my pal's draft horse, with
the reins being controlled through the tilt-out windshield (I wish I had a smart phone with a camera then to prove
it, like every other 13 year old now)!
