I am new to Dodge vehicles. I bought this truck 5 months ago for $750, from a friend. It had some problems which he thought were major but they turned out to be nothin. I have put a 2" lift and 33 inch tires on it, new rear brakes, and some TLC. I am now madly in love with the truck and all old Ramchargers. let me know what you think!

It's got a good strong 318 in it. I have been working out all the bugs. The steering was sloppy so I looked into it only to find the steering box had loosened up to the point of 3/4 of an inch space between the box and frame. the truck was just neglected. There is no rust on frame or body to speak of. I got probably $1600 total with new tires, lift, and complete new brakes.

Hey Thanks,

I don't know who makes the brushguard. And the oh shit handle on the lift ate I believe someone had a spare tire holder that latched to that thing. I plan on weldin up a roof rack (basket style) and rebuilding the 318. Got alot of ideas on these forums. RCC is the collest thing on the web. Totaly addicted.
