It has an interesting mural and a big block. I wonder if this is factory or some aftermarket appearance package. I couldn't find any name other than Dodge Ramcharger and the sticker under the hood was missing. The D in the VIN means that it is a 440.

It is a 77, which I forgot to mention.

I'm pretty certain that's a custom paint job done locally, not a factory or dealer option. In the first pic, there's what looks to be a good four-eye grille on the 79 behind the RC. You found a nice little goldmine. There are a lot of good parts on that one. Spare tire carrier, roll bar, rear bumper, not to mention the 440. The top of the grille looks good, and it has what appears to be a factory push bar. I also spotted an uncut dash bezel with a factory tach or clock and vacuum and voltmeter gauges. The last pic also shows a 72-80 crew cab. Time to go shopping!

the pop-top and rollbar are both desirable, and easily sold. did you pull them yet?

i'm out here in iowa now. if i had brought my toolbox, i'd be begging for the address, and heading over there on my day off.

I did not pull them, nor am I going to. I didn't bring any tools when I went but still bought some items. I used the company's tools but they will even pull the parts for you.

They even have a Polaris Ranger ATV that the owner let me use to go get the parts. Of course I'm known there and they probably wouldn't let every one use it. They would go down to where the parts are and haul them back or even drag a vehicle into the shop if enough parts were needed off of it.

Most old car salvage yards I visit are run by an old guy who sits on a chair and does virtually nothing. This isn't one of those. It is run more like a modern yard.

I find it curious that rig has been there so long as to grow serious vines in the passenger compartment, the windshield (common to all the trucks) and side glass (unique to RC & TD)is gone and yet the 440 engine is undisturbed. Maybe they forgot it was there? When I worked in a yard all the trucks would be picked clean long before the cars...

And no I don't need anything there as I am starting from scratch and I gave away all the stuff you are paying for...

The windshield is there, it is just clean. The side door windows are also there. The rear windows were missing. Vines grow fast here. I have some growing in my yard that were up to my roof in just a few months.
