Plymouth version of the ramcharger?
- Thread starter 440+6

I like Dodge best, but, I've owned Plymouth and Chrysler and wouldn't hesitate to buy another. As far as the Trail Duster or Ramcharger They don't seem to fetch what the blazer's or bronco's get money wise, that's a good thing for us wanting to buy one, not so much for the seller.
I have an old Trailduster add hanging around somewhere. I've a a couple of Ramchargers over the years. I had a mid 70s years ago. My ex wife had her friends vandalize it and cut out the wiring harness. Owned a mid 80s one about 10-15 years ago. I really liked that one but the roof didn't come off.
I did save this one from the scrapper. My sisters husband passed away 5 years ago. She wanted to clean her property so I gave her some money to help with the funeral. It was in sad shape. I was literally pulling the body off by shaking the rusted panels by hand. I mounted a 1917 Dodge 4 door to it. Making some kind of monster rat rod. This is as far as I got so far.

68 R/Ts have one of the coolest tail panels ever.

I had a 77' Trail-Duster PW100,
great rig opt. 48 state 400 bb 4 speed 4x4, Sport
(wish it was a 440, but couldn't find them in Alaska)
I put 4.10:1 gears & optional lock out Warn hubs,
3.55:1 was stock & it was fulltime 4wd
loaded, just about every option it could have
I put a dual plane alum 4-bbl intake & Carter Comp. AFB 750
dual exhaust 2-1/4' w/h-pipe, exited out behind the rear tires,
all of that stuff perked it right up
Had big Q78x15 35" tires, on the factory OE chrome slotted 'road-wheels'
& 4" lift, w/PTO & Mile Marker winch,
when I lived in Palmer Alaska, great 4x4 rig,
pulled many a rig out of the ditches & muskeg up there
had a Mile-Marker hydraulic/electric PTO
(operated off the replaced power-steering hydraulic pump, & a second group 34 battery)
operated the org. optional snowplow on the front too,
for clearing parking lots at an apt. complex I managed & doing driveways
taken off when not needed
no photos of it, mine was 'medium (dark) blue' with 'silver cloud' 2 tone,
with optional blue sport interior
