About my Ramcharger

I bought the truck for 800 dollars and rebuilt it from the ground up.

By custom body work I mean that I bought a 1978 Dodge truck and took the entire front end off of it and put it on my ramcharger. The ramcharger was in pretty rough shape on the whole front end. so I bought another truck and put the front end off of it on my ramcharger.

The truck has a New Process 435 Manual transmission with a New Process 203 transfer case from a GM truck. it has a 4x2 conversion kit installed.

I put a lot of time into this truck and hope to get my hands on a smittybilt bumper. I also want to find a better driveshaft than the stock constant Velocity.

I have just recently added a train horn kit from  Hornblasters.com

At present the tires are 33 12.50 15 super swamper tsl's
but I'm going to be adding a body lift to the truck so the next set will be 35's or bigger. The style bumper I would like to have is a smittybilt tubular. but I also like bull bars and brush guards. Theirs several places I'm might wheel, I'm not entirely sure yet

No I don't. I checked with smittybilt for some bumpers for mine and they said they dont make them anymore. theres another truck here that has some smittybilt tube bumpers on it but i havent been able to find any for mine.

Very cool. Love the Ramcharger. My cousin has a 1985 2WD Ramcharger in mint condition. I've wanted to do a 4WD convo or maybe just yoke it out in 2WD and go preunner style. but man, i'm such a 4WD guy that I don't think I could leave it alone. anyway, nice rig. love them ramchargers.
