Found this Ramcharger abandoned in a storage garage. Been sitting for 12-15 years. My son and I started restoring it. It's almost done. Almost rust free and in great shape. After this video was taken, I rebuilt the axles with different knuckles converting it to 5x5.5 lug bolt pattern and lock out hubs instead of the full time 4wd. It now also sports different aluminum wheels with 33x12.50 R 15 tires instead of the 35's. Its a blast to drive.

That's a sweet truck I use to have a 74 Ramcharger it had the 318 with 4 speed manual trans and the NP203 transfer case and I took the transfer case output in the HD part time NP205 case in it they have gears instead of chain like the 203 has and then took the 318 out and put in a 440 big block for more torque and HP it was a awesome truck but ended up selling it and always regretted getting rid of it but got myself a 1979 W200 power wagon that has the same set up as the ramcharger did except both front and back axles are Dana 60 it was dana 60 in he back and dana 44 in the front and front and back have lockers

That looks awsome. I have an early '74 Plymouth Trailduster as well. Needs a new engine and its the horse manure light green!! I love driving it with the full top off.

Very nice. Mine is a 79 that I swapped a 360 magnum, NV4500 and Dana 300 into. 1983 axles. Skyjacker 6” w/35” BFG KM3s on AR Bajas. Finally getting around to a new wiring harness.

Extremely rare indeed so beautiful wow I love the green for any 70’s classic trucks …. I’ve got a extremely rare Ford SR Country /Bronco made in Brazil on the 67-72 Bumpside F100 body short wheel base , I love your roll bar and no door frame it’s a killa . All the best from South Australia

the last date of the half door was 6/ 10 / 74 you could also ordered at that time with no top at all it would show up at the dealer with absolutely no top and the dealer would put a soft top on if you wanted one Now that is Dodge tough I keep the top off of mine permanent pretty much

You should find a NP205 for that thing it's a HD case and you can have 2wd or 4wd hi lo way better than the 203 and it saves ful not running 4wd all the time but you would have to cut holes in the floor for the extra sticks but they run on gears not the chain like the 203 does if your going wheeling out in Utah the 205 is what you want. the 203 will work till the chain stretches and starts skipping or breaking stuff it's hard to break a 205

Great content! I'm restoring a 74 full pop top too. Would you be able to give me a break down of the exact conversion from full time to lock out hubs? Is there a kit or something? Thanks in advance!also what size is the lift?
@f-150yeti2
@f-150yeti2 Рік тому
I’d also love to know how you went about converting the knuckles. Did you use old Scout knuckles or something else? I’m getting my old RC from high school (25 years ago) back in my possession so it’s time to tear into it. The hubs were high on my list

@@gabrieldean9559 I’m also curious. I’ve got a ‘75 that’s in need of some attention. Back in college, I put a part time kit in the transfer case that Milemarker made. Not sure if they still do but it was enough that I could run lockers in it afterwards
