1979 Power Wagon 200

I just acquired a 1979 Dodge Power Wagon 200. I got it for $600! Anyways, it runs and drives. What are your thoughts on it? The floor boards are good, surprising! It has a 318 and 4 speed. Also, any tips on how to remove the windshield, a tree branch fell through it and destroyed the dash pretty good. And where also can I get replacement parts for the dash? like the entire thing I'm pretty sure is gonna have to be replaced. But I am going to see what I can salvage and start from there.

Nice find and good price. LMC Trucks can get the windshield rubber and a whole host of parts. Dash may be another story, but there is about a decade where they were mostly the same and will fit/work.
Other thing to remember is the 4spd should be an A-833OD, aluminum cased overdrive unit (.71 overdrive). Third gear is one to one ratio, so don't shift into 4th gear until you are going to be going 45+mph, just to save the wear and tear on the transmission.

Easiest way to tell if it is the A-833OD is to see if there are shift fork rods on the driver's side of the case and it has an aluminum case (as mentioned). The heavier duty NP-435(think that's the number) is the shifter comes directly out the top of the transmission.
