Fishing off the back of the R/C!!! My life would be all too complete to perform that manuver.

you wanna part that RC out? i could use some panels! let me know! thanks. i'd trade ya for another 318 i have.

 

[bigblue]

the old warrior looks a little lonely. think you'll ever get it running again?

 

[Trailduster79]

I got to try that, screw wadding out to the middle, why not just back out there ??

 

[dramtoughsgirl]

nice looking R/C from what we can see..Would be nice to see her up and running again..why don't you look in a junk yard for other parts for it...

 

[Dodgeman]

this rig has sentimental value,the gf and i joke, that inside this truck is where we concieved our first child,even in its current condition i would not think of parting it out, someday it will drive again,i really need a truck to tow the cage,actually the motor still starts, i just cant get the power to the ground without the tranny and t-case, if i had an extra 700 bucks layin around there is a 75 power wagon fer sale at one of the junk yards with 360/manual trans(not sure which)and 205 t-case,a HD front 44 and dana 60 rear, that starts and shifts gears ,i also have a 76 for parts but all needed parts went into the cage too, i'll have to take a pic of it to put on to see if anyone wants to trade body stuff fer trans and/or t case,it is alot straiter than my 79 too cause the drivers door of the 79 is pretty hammered from the time i had to drive thru a chain link fence to get out of a ditch ,but that was another story

Dodgeman - I am hanging with you! By the sounds of things, the stories you have would be worth the many beers I would donate to get them out of you!

The fishing thing reminds me of that old saying.....

"Give a man a fish and he eats for today, teach him how to fish and he will drive his Ramcharger in the middle of the lake, sit on the back and drink beer.........."

[Kodiak]

Or in my case, the ex tried to take my RC with her. NOT!!! She's gone but the RC stayed, hence the name Victoria. Cool RC!!! I'm going to have to show your pic to a friend of mine who owns a '79 RC and loves (lives) to fish.

 

[Dodgeman]

aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh the good ole days , maybe some day i will be able to take my boys out in the lake to fish too, we didnt start catchin any til we were out a few feet ,just couldn't cast far enough to get the bait off the ledge which was out about 25 feet from shore so a few beers later and we decided to drive in , it really paid off

 

[CraZYWiLLiE]

Steve, we definately need to do some wheeling, I see a few hundred parts I need...LMAO
Keep those puppies running.

Was it lifted? If not how much fender did you need to cut to fit the 36's?
