He made the 3500 off road worthy for his style (winch, lights, etc...) with items and component similar to the "frills" offered by Dodge on the PW.
Not trying to discourage you, but Don was a great guy who lived the TC desert camping lifestyle. he also brought a lot to these forums. One of those was the no-so-good experience of a Power Wagon with a TC.
R.I.P Don Curley.
^^^ THIS !!!
Don and I discussed the PW debacle at length back then. His PW would move around like a drunken sailor as it went down the road and was SCARY when off-road as the load shifted around.
