My grandfather bought this '55 C3-PW6 to use on our family farm sometime in the '60s and I have seen it parked under the hay barn for at least the last 20 years.
Apparently, my great-uncle parked it in the barn after breaking the rear axle shafts. He removed the broken axles, differential and rear drive shaft and then drove it into it's resting place by putting it in 4wd...and there it has been ever since.
I have no idea what happened to the original bed and I think that my grandfather put the Braden PTO winch on his jeep when he converted the PW to run on LP Gas (he owned a few propane businesses in small towns).
We just inherited the family farm and my uncles finally agreed to let me have the Power Wagon as long as I don't sell the truck. You can see that it looks pretty rough, but there's nothing that can't be fixed.
Now it's time to get started and I have plenty of questions.
