Lo_jack's 1979 Dodge Ramcharger
Hey Hey Dodgezilla!
About this Current Vehicle:
I bought this truck a decade ago in HS for $800.
Believe it or not, I drove it to school a few times a week, when the other Ramcharger ('85 2wd) wasn't running right.
Time for a new everything.
I pulled the intake off the old block to find 4 bent pushrods. Now I know why it would hardly move under it's own power - two dead cylinders.
Factory Options:
318 v8
NP435 4spd
NP203 AWD
2 solid axles of fury
Convertible
Exterior Modifications:
Stripping it to the metal...again. Flat black it is.
Interior Modifications:
Rustoleum interior. Original short two tone buckets. Mmmm 70's.
Performance:
Edelbrock 1403
Edelbrock performer manifold
Headers with true dual exhaust
swapping in a 74 duster block/heads soon with new headers, ram clutch and new motor mounts.
Going to attempt electric fan(s) and aluminum radiator when the new motor goes in.
Suspension/Chassis:
Stock suspension clears 33's with ease.
Two solid axles. Life is good.
Plan on shackle flip, possibly suspension lift.
Drivetrain:
Stock. Hope it doesn't break...soon.
Electronics:
We don't need no stinkin' electronics.
Seriously. It has a coil and plug wires. The end.
I did remake the battery cables out of 0/2 gauge.
I need to do the "ammeter bypass mod." Why? Not doing it
is the leading cause of these trucks burning to the ground.
To-Do List:
N/A
