Very nice! It's a very clean looking RC.....great truck...you should post up more pictures! There is also a RamCharger section down in the Blast From The Past area about midway down the main DF page.

93 Ramcharger? Looks more like a 73.

Nice rig either way.

Last year domestically They were built in Mexico on the 2nd gen Ram platform through the 2001 model year.

And I agree..looks like a 70s model to me. [>:] They lost the removable top option in late 1980, and that grille is a pre-79 grille. The gas cap is the wrong style for a 93...they used gas doors by that point in production. They also didn't have badges like that in 93...or 440 motors [8D]

The mirrors and rims are about the only two things that look like they belong on a 93.

It's a nice clean truck. Just definitely not a '93. And if it is...it's HEAVILY customized.

I've been looking for a non-rusted '78 or '79 for some time now. They're fun trucks. I still have my '79, but I have a feeling it would fall apart if I tried taking the top off. It's THAT rusted out

EDIT: The hood also doesn't look right for a '93. It looks like the old "bird bath" style hood...which they stopped using in '79.

thats the catch, i love customizing. the 440 is my favorite motor ever, so i had to put it in, the grill was off an old ramcharger up at a junk yard. the chop top was done with a saws all, and a grinder. so basically the only originaly thing is the body. i took it to the sand dunes a week ago, it kiks azz
