1958 Dodge Power Wagon and a Cummins 4BT Diesel: What more could you ask for?

Scrolling through the posts on bringatrailer.com and I came across this beautiful specimen. A Cummins powered 1958 Dodge Power Wagon Ambulance. This machine was restromodded by none other than Legacy Classic Trucks in Jackson Wyoming so it is no surprise that both inside and out this Power Wagon is bordering on perfection.


As previously stated the guys at LCT fitted the Wagon with a legendary Cummins 4BT diesel engine mated to a five speed NV 4500 transmission. Power is transferred to the axles via an Atlas Transfer Case. The axles weren't left alone either. They were upgraded with 300M RCV shafts and disc brakes on all 4 corners. The transformation was then rounded off with some 37 inch BF-Goodrich Mud-Terrain KM2 tires.



Since LCT doesn't like to do anything half-assed, they upgraded the interior as well. They fitted a Vintage Air A/C and Heat system, put in all new fabric for the seats and carpeting, and upgraded all of the gauges. Continuing to the back they transformed the ambulance area into a sleeping area for 4 making this Power Wagon not only good for daily driving but an overlanding beast as well.


Given that normally you would expect to pay upwards of $100,000.00 for a restomodded Power Wagon from LCT it is extremely shocking to see that this Power Wagon is currently on sale for a measly $50k. I'll take 2 please.
