My Young Gun son just found this rusty non running 80 Ramcharger Craigslist, locally, and we had to drag it home...
One owner truck 360 4bl auto.. no a/c
After a day and a half screwing the ignition and fuel.. it is now a nice running truck...
He is going to get a lot of practice with the Mig welder tho LOL...

That tire looks like a Kerb Kicker 12 ply tire. They are used in demolition derby use mostly.

And they are very expensive.

actually, that's not the first time i've seen that tire as a Dodge spare.

i'll have to look thru some of my stuff but if i recall it may have been a dealer or regional thing.

You don't want to bet the ranch on that statement. That is a dodge OEM tire. The snow commander and sno fiters commonly had them. I think 1980 was the last year.

Yep. Saw a lot of those on W100 snow fiters passing thru 63436 ...

IIRC, 7.00-15, noisy on a dry road but good in mud.


It takes gasoline to interest me.

I had an 80 rc with similar options. 360/4, auto, 3.21 suregrip, 36 gallon tank, skid plates, trans cooler, and 100 amp alt with no a/c. It did have SE package with highback seats but the no a/c, no radio was odd.

The original owner of mine purchased it off the lot on a sale. It seemed like the 100 amp alt was optioned by mistake instead of the a/c.

Do you have a underhood shot of the motor? Does it have the idler pulley for the alt belts?

Nice truck!!

I am sure they are the same, but have never tried to swap one.
