no ordinary ramcharger - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Highrolleres · 08-22-2010, 03:04 PM

This is my build up of my 84 ramcharger.It started out all stock when i bought it with some help of my brother when i was 15.He had a k5 blazer and i didn't want to copy him and i saw this odd truck for sale for $350 even though my dad hated mopars i had to have it. I was rusty so first things first was a lot of rust repair. Rockers,fenders,door skins,and floors it wasn't too bad. But it sat for a long time so we rebuilt the engine. Then i found out the hard way to put in a engine ended up cracking the pump on the trans

.then it was time for up upgrades home made shackle flip and blazer springs and 33'' all terains.Then it went down hill.

As you can tell i have white rims in the back. I had a fun time at rausch creek. I blew the spiders in the 9 1/4 on some rock trails so i had to drive it home in front wheel drive and no muffler 2hrs home that was fun. So a 14bolt ff was thrown in, the front 44 was still going strong.
