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.

Default I'm having trouble finding parts

I have searched all of the local parts places and Junk yards but I cannot find the one part I need to get my 1985 Ramcharger back on the road. All of the guts from my front left hub just disintegrated while i was driving about 5 months ago and the only thing holding that wheel on was the breaks. I've been able to get everything from parts stores except for that front left spindle. where online should I look for that part?

Do you have locking front hubs, or is it full-time 4wd?

Try Fleabay. I looked on there and they run between $150-200 for new ones. Used ones are almost as much so I'd go new. Keep in mind that from the firewall forward, you use the same parts as a Dodge pickup. I think 1982-93 parts will interchange.

Hubs are made by Chrysler, If you look in the(spicer) parts breakdowns it will say"(3) Contact Vehicle Manufacture" #3 was the hub. If you don't already have the oem part# get it and do a search for it.
