Apparently it’s Classic Truck Day or something. Nowadays we’re all used to fancy-dance trucks that never see a day of hard work in their pathetic, suburban lives. However, I’m told that back around 1960 trucks were used for work and not much else. There’s no need for stylish frippery when you’ve got apatasaurus legs to haul!
…which is what makes this 1960 Power Wagon an odd duck. Aside from being an ultra-rare V8 4×4, it’s got top-of-the-line two-tone paint and chrome trim. We can assume it’s had an easy life, or it wouldn’t have lasted this long.
No reserve means it could be yours for about $3100, but one of the Q&A’s suggests it could go for 10x that by the time the auction’s done…Get it while it’s hot at eBay Motors
1960 Power Wagon Offers an Odd Mix of Panache and Indestructability

Damn, that's nice. No front bumper, but that's OK. A custom diamond plate bumper with a winch and brush guard would look just fine on this. Very cool truck.
Q&A says the bumper's included, just not installed.
You're right, should have looked first. The stock bumper would better, anyway. This truck is so stock it would be a shame to change it. Problem is, it's so nice that taking into the rough would be risking that nice paint and trim.
I'd do it anyway, after I put some decent tires on it. Screw it, it's still a truck.

something about this truck makes me want to yell "Lassie……………. Lassie"
so now I'll have to google it and see what truck was in that show!
well, couldn't find a definitive answer, but something about this truck made me think of that show.
According to imcdb.com, the series ran for 20 years, and it looks like there were a couple of Dodge pickups used, mainly this '58.

gotta love the hiriders. Ride like a lumber truck, but soooooo cool no one cares.
I'd chalk up this trucks pampered condition to years of repeatedly hauling Lassie to the abadoned well to rescue Timmie.
