88 Dodge Ramcharger
 

Picked this up off a local Fire Dept for rather cheap. Was told it was a 318, but checked last night, I am 99% sure its a 360. 56k original miles, just sat for the past 6 years. Unfortunately it developed a knock in the bottom end, and is the reason for them selling it, but should be an easy fix/swap.

Since the motor is carbed, the plans are just a rebuild on the bottom end, or find another 360, a mopar purple cam, aluminum intake manifold, Holley carb, headers, etc. Will be the new Daily Driver for a while, and eventually be lifted and used for wheeling. I mainly bought it so I can take the Ram off the road for a little while, and go over that since its really climbing fast on the miles.

sweeet

Do you get real time traffic on that message center?

Looks good! I know that trailer :lol:

Thanks
No, but I did get an update on this thread that you had posted in it on there.
:lol: thanks, and you should know it.

sweet find.

are those spinner hubcaps on the trailer?!

:lol: no they are not, they are some garbage ones that came on the trailer when we got it. The trailer needs work, so I have been waiting to get rid of those until then.

I rode by that Ram for months on 528, I was gonna stop few times but every time I was, the words "Lean Burn" came to mind. If ya dont mind saying, how much did ya end up picking it up for? I love old R/C, good luck with it.

You come out this way much? I live ~ 5 mins from there. I picked it up for $300.

I work out that way. Damn $300:shock: Thats sweet, congrats.
I wouldve jumped on that in a heartbeat for $300.
I had a '91 W-250 Cummins, I loved that truck and that body style.
Good luck with it.

of course :rofl:

Thanks, yeah I couldnt pass it up. Where do you work? I lived in Bordentown, but now am down 528 about 10 mins or less

nice pick up for 300 bucks jon.

On Harrison Rd. I wouldn't have been able to pass that up either, I'm a sucker for cheap vehicles.

Thanks bill!


what town is harrison rd in?

whats your intentions jon? putting a lift kit on it and using it off roading or just to use as a beater?

I think for now he wants to get it running right, then use it as a DD while he takes the Ram off the road and goes over that, since the mileage is pretty high on the Ram. Afterwards, I think he intends to lift the Ramcharger and make that the woods truck.

For the time being, tossing a motor in it and daily driving it while the Ram gets fixed up. The Ram needs a freeze plugs in the back of the block between the block and trans, so if I am going to pull the motor, I want to redo that, the trans, all the brakes, more lift and more tire are possibly. Once that is done, I will use the Ramcharger for off-roading and on the beach.

Ah, okay yeah youre out this way alot then.

Yup, exactly.

So someone liked "the James" so much they had to go out and get something just like it huh. Hopefully we can just get some bearings in the lower end and have a running motor.

Ya in fact I had to go out to Hermans today, I was looking for it.

:lol: yeah, its out here now with me. Maybe in a few months it will be out and about. I need to get the car ready for Ocean City before I can start on the RC.

nice find jon, have fun with it

Cool truck, I'm from that area so I know that fire station, a good friend of mine works there. I'm liking the hub caps on that trailer lol

Thanks Ted.

You are originally from around here? And those caps will be coming off eventually :lol: they suck.
