i know im in the wrong section, but i posted in the ram charger section and got no help. im looking at getting a 1987 Ram Charger 4x4 for a muddin car. its got a 360. do you guys know of anything to look out for when i look at it.?

Thanks

 

Nothing particular, what transmission does it have? Not sure what they put in it, but if it is the 727 then that is a solid tranny. Motor is good of course, overall they are just solid trucks.

 

is that a truck or the SUV-sort of like a blazer/bronco thing ?
i've got a buddy with a 1st gen 85'ish truck. his 2wd is a pos and can't get out of its own way nor haul any kind of load w/o squatting. on the other hand its got a 318 and well over 200k, so its not all bad. i'd guess a 4wd would be fine. he could build up the springs with a little effort.

i've got another buddy with an early to mid 80's 4wd SUV looking thing with a 318. its a pretty good truck, goes about anywhere. tough. lots of steel, not much plastic. dash and stuff falling apart but that's to be expected.

as a mudding truck, i'd say its fine. just run the **** out of it and whenever something breaks replace it with something stonger and/or newer.

 

They are just like the old Jimmys and Blazers (the REAL jimmys with 305's and 350's, not those newer POS), both are extremely solid trucks.

 

it has the stick tranny. im getting a great deal on it. it has 162,000 miles on it. im tradin my 86 mustang 5.0 which is not running and $500 for it. it needs paint, but the interior looks like it was just re-done

 

IF it has a manual tranny and a 360 it will be a runnin son of a bitch

 

im and idiot and cant type i ment to say stock tranny. its an auto
