Pating out a 1985 Ramcharger
I just picked up a pretty well used up Ramcharger that I am going to part out (aside from the ones I use). It`s a 1985 5.2L 2wd. The drivetrain seems to be solid. The fuel system is shot, so I had to rig it up to move it around the yard. The engine fired right up, even after sitting an undetermined amount of time. The transmission did not appear to slip. The interior has seem much better days. The door panels are shot, no headliner, carpet is toast, floorboards are rusted. The front buckets could be recovered. The rear bench still looks pretty good. Dash and gauges are still in good shape. The wheels are 16" chrome wheels from a 94-up truck with decent tires. The body isn`t straight by any means. The cab will probably be sold for scrap. The tailgate is in really good shape though. The hood ain`t worth much. The doors have some pretty big dents, but could be used for a trail truck or something. Fenders are still alright. The core support and grill are in good shape. I`ll get some pics up soon and a video I took of it running (the squeeling sound was a belt slipping).
Here are the ground rules:
If you`re interested, PM me what part(s) you want and we can discuss price.
If you are close enough to pick them up you can, or I will drive it to a local freight yard for you.
If it needs to be shipped, I will ship it AFTER recieving payment.
Payment needs to be with a money order or cashiers check.
Buyer pays for shipping (will ship it COD).
I haven`t started tearing it down yet, but you can claim the parts ahead of time. I will be more than glad to try to work with anyone if I can.
I look forward to doing buisness with you.

The odometer reads 12000, but I don`t know how many times it has turned over. It could be 112,000 or 212,000. If I had to guess though, probably 112K. The engine runs good, doesn`t appear to burn oil, no smoke. It`s a simple 318 with a 2 barrel carb. For the limited amount that I could test it, it felt strong. I would assume that it needs a gasket set, there appears to be some water leaking around the water pump. I will be selling it without the power steering pump and alternator (they are going on my truck). If you want it I can give you the A/C compressor, but I don`t know if it functions, so that would be a freebie.
I would like to get $450 for the motor and $50 for the rest. I would be willing to negotiate a little with you though.
