18 February 2025 by Desert Power Wagons, Castle Hayne, North Carolina

Signature Autosports and Desert Power Wagons, based in Castle Hayne, North Carolina, proudly unveils a true fusion of heritage and performance—a bespoke 1946 Desert Power Wagon finished in striking Timberline Green Metallic. Crafted with over 2,000 hours of meticulous handwork and completed in February 2025, this masterfully reimagined icon embodies vintage charm while delivering cutting-edge capability.

Classic Character, Modern Muscle
Retaining the bold, utilitarian aesthetic that made the original Power Wagon legendary, this two-door marvel is enhanced with contemporary refinements. Its Timberline Green Metallic body, contrasted by gloss black fenders and running boards, commands presence, while the oak bed floor with black steel slats is a respectful nod to its rugged past.

Beneath its timeless exterior lies a powerhouse: a D&J Precision Machine-built High-Output 5.9L Cummins® Turbo Diesel Inline Six-Cylinder engine, unleashing over 500 horsepower and a staggering 1000 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 48RE 4-speed automatic transmission, this truck seamlessly blends vintage charisma with unrelenting power.

Engineered for the Extreme

Built on a proprietary fully-boxed steel ladder frame, this Desert Power Wagon is equipped with a Fox Racing® 2.0 suspension system featuring remote reservoir shocks for optimal off-road capability and a composed ride. It rides on 18-inch Black Rhino® Arsenal™ wheels wrapped in aggressive 37-inch Maxxis® Razr® M/T tires, ensuring traction across the most demanding landscapes. With 9.5 inches of travel and a NP271 manual shift transfer case, this truck is primed to conquer any terrain with unwavering confidence.

Refined Interior, Elevated Comfort

Inside, a vintage-inspired Power Wagon dashboard is harmoniously integrated with modern technology. Precision Dakota Digital® gauges provide vital performance data, while an advanced Android-based Atoto® infotainment system, complemented by a Rockford Fosgate® premium audio setup, delivers an immersive auditory experience. Vintage Air® climate control, Bluetooth connectivity, and power windows elevate this rugged classic into a truly luxurious driving experience.
