The 2012 National Dodge Power Wagon Rally in Fairfield Iowa
This year there was a record attendance of 345. There was also 103 trucks of which 94 made the parade.
This was the best rally yet. A huge THANK YOU to everyone at Vintage Power Wagons and all those who helped. On the trip to Fairfield I took the opportunity to stop and see Jim at Crabtree Tool & Die. Jim took my gauge adapter design and machined them for me. It was great meeting and talking with a like minded guy. I was fortunate that Matt B., a fellow Dodge loving MIJC member volunteered to haul my '53 M37 to the event, and he arrived Sunday. I arrived the next day, early to the Rally after having just finishing the '46 Power Wagon. It was great seeing all the old friends and meeting new ones. The weather cooperated for the event, but Iowan's needed rain, the Kerr farm mud was mostly missing. The truck pull was one of the highlights, but the best surprise was that my 1946 Dodge Power Wagon won best in class! There were a lot of great trucks and I did not expect to win, so I was thrilled that "Pop's" 1946 Power Wagon won. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen.
