Default What's the best forum for old Dodge trucks? I mean 1st gen/squarebody/AD body

There are a handful of general Dodge Ram forums but they seem to be mostly focused on the newer trucks with a few '89-'93 Cummins guys thrown in. I'm about to start the restoration on my '82 and I gotta find the hardcore squarebody nerds like me. Ramcharger Central seems pretty solid, any other recommendations?whatsapp web 192.168.0.1 routerlogin

This one is decent. There are a few people who get off topic ( ) and get insistent about it. As for early trucks, even the first gen are new fangled trucks compared to some of the stuff I've owned. I had a 1950 unit and it was advanced over earlier trucks.

The generation topic came up before, Most would think the 50-60's trucks should be the first gen rather than 1993 or older. And what makes you think that there aren't any "hardcore squarebody nerds" here? So if you have questions ask away. Nothing wrong with posting on more than one forum.

i think the bigger difference between RCC and most other forums is most of the guys over there still actually own/drive and work on 93 and older dodge trucks.

My sister commented recently that I now own vehicles made in this Century.

Count me in, fellas.

Mine's a '93 Dodge/Cummins D-350 "Club Cab", with the 5spd Getrag and intercooler. I'd like to restore mine and stretch it to handle a 36' coffin sleeper and headache rack, flat bed and fuel tanks.
Something about a long, square Dodge...
