Ramcharger, Trailduster & Power Wagon Grrrr!! Tough Trucks! The Dodge Ramcharger and Plymouth Trailduster were full size SUV's that had good looks and brute strength. The Dodge Power Wagon was comparable to them in toughness, but came in pickup truck form only.

Well forgot i was a member here, my bad. Been doing some work to the ol girl when i get the time...lowered the front approx 4" and the rear 3" Got it cleaned up some. And since i only drive it to and from work on the highway i took the p/s belt off, besides it was starting to make noise anyways. And Disabled the a/c, for some reason when i have it running it have no oil pressure so screw it. thing gained some get up and go and i figured it would be less strain on the tired old 318 going down the highway if i had two less things to turn. Still yet to find the bumpers i want for this...i dont like these big bulky ones. Oh, put a new windshield in too. Still yet to find the correct grill to match the bezels dark gray w/chrome trim, its been like that since i bought it just recently its been bugging me.
