...but not new to old Mopars. I just picked up a '93 RamCharger LE 4x4. Magnum 318/A518. 51,698 original miles. Loaded. Needs the goofy marker lights off the roof and a trip to Maaco. Has some trans issues, but I couldn't pass it up.





This is not my first RamCharger - I had an '84 2wd a few years back. And also not my first Magnum/A518 truck, as I had a '92 Dakota from new way-back-when.

Has definate potential. Beats hell outta what I started with lol. Mine was owned by some Old Mexico transplants. Had lights,huge sun visor,fake bullet holes,LARGE Viva Mexico emblems glued on the fenders. Almost ashamed to be seen draggin' it home. Horrible shape mechanicaly too. Tore all that crap off first thing.

So watcha gonna do with it?

Bought it to use as a daily driver. For now, I want to get it right mechanically. Needs some minor exhaust work, and need to get the trans issues fixed.

Near future plans: decent tunes (already have most of what I plan to install), tint, wheels, 31" tires and paint. Some year, maybe a mild suspension lift, bigger tires, headers and duals. Leaving it all stock under the valve covers.

The roof is just surface rust - nothing structural. Roof also has a handful of plastic plugs in it, as it had a lightbar on it at some point. I plan to get the holes filled.
