Dodge Power Wagons - This morning at a local restaurant I saw a new model Dodge Power Ram truck and it caused me to think back to the first time my attention was called to one. I was with a harvest crew in the summer of 1965 in Lake City, Kansas at the time and the farmer had an older model. The old farmer had had a hard time finding combiners for his wheat which had been flattened by a nearby flooding river. Tree branches came with the flood and his field was a mess. We got the job done for him, but it was difficult.
The first Power Wagons were first built in 1946 as a civilian version of the similar military truck. The one old Russell Lake had must have been almost that old, but it was still doing the job. The pictures show models from 1949 and 2020.
