I have over 100,000 miles on my Ram. It is a company truck and I put a lot of miles on them. When I get a new one this one won't be worth much. Would it be reasonable to put an old Power Wagon body on a 2008 Ram 4X4 4 door 5.7 liter Hemi?

Depends what you mean by "old" and "reasonable.

If it's a 3rd gen pw body, it would be easy but total poser to stick it on a 1500. Pre 3rd gen body would be a lot of work and the cluster/instrument controls would be a huge amount of work (i.e. expensive).

I think it would be cheaper to put a stroker motor in yours. Sleeper? :D

I've seen this done before. It was a truck like yours but it was a 2500 with the Cummins. They used the '72-'93 style cab, and '77 or '78 front clip. They used the entire gauge cluster from the newer truck though.

Would be cool to see it stuck on a frame with a CTD
