One of 6 Willock Swivel Frame Power Wagons known to exist, out of approximately 40 ever built.

This is a fine example of a extremely rare Power Wagon. I have spent the last three years building this truck into a trouble free daily driver, with incredible off-road ability. This is a turn key driver. I also have many original literature pieces, including a negative copy of the original Swivel Frame Patent by Harry Willock, the inventor of the Swivel Frame.

Great Truck! I heard about these things after I built mine. I didn't know these kits existed. I made mine myself. I would love to get a chance to see one done how it was built and how mine compares. Contact me anytime.

Way wicked cool. I have a USAF 2KW Gen-Set that is the same color, most likely from the same era. I NEED your truck to haul the 80 pound gen-set around.

Then I had a set of centers fot the Power Wagon wheel lug pattern cut into 3/8" plate and welded them in. Great in the snow and ice. "How hard was it to cut the..." View Comments...	23	24
