In most issues of Power Wagon Advertiser I feature a dodger's truck with some photos and information provided by the owner. These trucks can be any 4X4 Dodge up to 1993, military or civilian, and can be anything from worn, daily drivers to flawless restorations. Show us your truck and tells about it and your enthusiasm.
