Interchange question

[ascinder]

Can anyone tell me whether or not similar year power wagon parts are interchangeable for normal civilian trucks like my WF-32? I searched and didn't really find anything that answered this. I just wouldn't think dodge would go to a lot of trouble to make power wagons and trucks produced the same year all that different.

Have you checked out the Vintage Power Wagons site?

I would think they should be able to answer your question.

Yes and no. Some parts are identical, some are not identical but are interchangeable, some are completely different.

Chrysler had a policy of using the same parts wherever possible. But would develop new parts if necessary. Parts will often interchange over several years.

That's actually the reason I was asking I was hoping to be able to at least somewhat take advantage of their broad selection of stuff for sale, but I wasn't sure what might fit and what might not. It's pretty nice to be able to pin down one stop shopping for many of the parts I'll be needing so I won't have to pay so much on separate shipping, but I don't want to order stuff then have to send it back if it ends up not swapping correctly.
