I was laying awake the other night wondering about what to do with my Crew Club & newest RC coming home next Saturday & I remembered a few years back about seeing a truck they called the "ClubCharger over at RCCentral & I figured with all these girls I've got I'd try to combine the three being that somewhere along the line there will be more grand kids & would provide seating for 10. They will need to see things like mount Mt Rushmore & stuff you know & I like to travel The wife wants to hit all the lighthouses before we check out as a bucket list thing & it would serve well for that.

I've got my sights on a 93 with a bad trans for $500 & use the cowl & floor with the correct trans tunnel for the 518 going back in it as well
Use the 93 power doors A/C system so I can setup the serpentine on it with the lines & all factory pieces Fuel Injection.

I'm looking for the pics of the roof graft & thought about using two RC roofs & have two roof vents & two factory sunroofs as well as pop out windows in the Club. I know somewhere under it I can fit a van rear A/C & heat system because I know that I will fit it wit a 50 gal fuel cell in the rear hooked to the RC filler neck & the factory tank tossed there will be room.

Any thoughts? this would make my Crew totally rust free & be different

so basically you're building a suburban?

The Durango is too small & I want to do it to a 1st gen i already have the parts & to build a Ramburban you need a Mexican RamCharger there's a 97 RC here for sale it's pretty well worn out for the price of $4500 with the miles being upper 400,000 kil & the odometer doesn't work. The guy says he got $6k for the last one just like it kilos & all Calls them a collectors item. I can build what I want for less & all mechanicals have 45k on my Crew. The body is the only thing left

That's exactly what I want to build only with a Club added but have decided that that is a lot of spotwelds to drill & weld back

Although I've thought about stretching the RC part & making the side windows from flat safety glass It would make room for another fullsize bench seat & put a B series van rear air & heat in the floor & use the van duct work & vents
If I do it like that I retain my 165" wb frame & all I have to do is slide the axle back
