Power Wagon Steering and Brakes

Season 20, Episode 7

This time on Gearz, the focus is simple upgrades you can do that pack the most punch. The ’49 Dodge Power Wagon is back as Stacey shows how to convert the old manual steering to power steering so it can handle a much bigger wheel and tire combination. After that, he dives into the old drum brakes and swaps them out for some far superior power disc brakes. This isn’t about cost; it’s about doing the best upgrades that have the smallest impact on originality. The best part is it’s simple stuff that anyone can do to virtually any old vehicle if you know what parts to use and how to put it all together – and that’s what Gearz is all about!
