Howdy! Couple of pics of my '74 Ramcharger, the "Pumpkin"!   Saw this rig sitting next to a barn about 6 years ago... stopped by every 6 mos. or so, but never could catch anyone home... finally talked to owner in 2003, asked if he'd be willing to sell-said "make me an offer", I said "400 bucks", he went in to get the title! Hadn't been driven since 1998... poured some gas in the carb, stuffed a battery in 'er and drive it home! 87,000 miles on the clock! Have done several things to it since I've had it, and am constantly adding/improving/modifying! |

Some of the upgrades: '81 axles-to eliminate the funky full-time bearing issues, and have selectable hubs (for when I swap to part-time 'case!); RV-type dual-pattern cam-lifters-timing set; Edelbrock Performer intake and carb, along w/Lokar kickdown cable setup (sweet item!); B&M ratchet shifter w/ extra-heavy-duty cable from Performance Racing in Salem (thanks, Steve Tepper!); Firestix whip and flag, for playing @ Sand Lake; 31/10.50/15 Savero Mud radials (cheap, off-brand tire from Tire Factory, 450 bucks mounted and balanced, and they work great!). Future plans: Have a 5.5" Superlift and 35" Dunlop Muds, but am gonna wait 'till I swap to part-time 'case... been the fulltime/lift route, and won't do it again (too many front driveline issues). I'm looking @ Summit shorty-style headers; current headers leak like crazy (they are 25-years old!) and capture (actually touch the nose of) the starter!
