1sr gen Ramcharger/ Tduster owners please respond!

OK here is the reason I asked about your location and who is serious. I was hoping to find someone close to the Denver area, as thats where softtopper.com is located. I contacted them asking why they did not have a top available for the Ramchargers. I received this reply which I thought was a great oportunity for someone who is close enough to meet their requirements. Below is the email from BOB at softtopper to me. If I was close I would of taken him up on my offer. But hes too far away from me.

RESPONSE FROM BOB FROM SOFTTOPPER.COM
Hi Dave


Thanks for the interest in our Softops.


We hope to make one for the Ram Charger in the future.


If you are on some of the Ram Charger forums you could start a post and see if there are any Ram Charger owners in the Denver /Boulder area. If someone can leave their truck with us for a couple of weeks we can design one.


We'd offer a Free top to the person who can let us use their truck.


We'd have to set up the dates when we have time to get it done.


Thanks

I wanted to get this going as he seems serious. And a free top would be obviously great. Here is a link I previously posted on the first generation blazer softoppers. I posted a thread about seeing one on a blazer last week, it was VERY HEAVY DUTY and thats why I contcated softopper.com The blazer ones are in the $800.00 price range plus shipping of $50.00 according to both the website and the guy who I met who had purchased one. . I would guess that Ramcharger one would be similar in price but thats a guess.

That said, I think everyone on here WHO IS SERIOUS, Should see if we know anyone in the area in question and get their rig in there SOON. I also suggest we all send emails to BOB at softopper.com and let him know loud and clear that we are serious.

FIRST GENERATION BLAZER LINK.

I have seen these up close while on duty as a police officer in the Sierras. It looked GREAT from a distance and I spun around to check it out and kinda freaked out the owner. Once he realized I was serious about the top he was fine and showed me how it worked and gave me the tour. It was very heavy duty and his was the tan. ITS FAR SUPERIOR to the originals I have seen, far superior. I would check out the SOFTOPPER FIRST GEN BLAZER LINK BELOW site as I am guessing that the Ramcharger mods would be similar.

ONLY FOR THOSE SERIOUSLY INTERESTED IN A SOFT TOP!

Without giving up any additional information yet, I may a great deal for a lucky Ramcharger/ Trailduster owner ( first generation). I am looking for a head count on who is SERIOUS about buying a soft top and on a side note I need to know the state your in and city?
looking for numbers or a head count!

I am also going to ask on at least one more forum to see what kind of numbers may be out there (ramchargercentral.com ) can you guys think of any other forums?

RUMBLON AKA Dave. In Northern Nevada and no im not making or selling them.

1 for me - Orange Park FL

I'd like to have one, depending on price.

Mike
Sparks NV

one for me for my 78 ramcharger
Sam
Dinuba, CA

also know of a nice lady in Simi Valley, CA who would also like one for her Top Hand Ramcharger.

I am going to say yes I am interested in one for my 76 Trailduster. It would depend upon the price and quality.
Clinton , Indiana 47842

Idealy they could be delivered to one or more of the major Mopar shows or swap meets..

Hi Rumblon,

been active on the related threads in ramchargercentral too.
I also missed the time when Bestop still made a replica for our rigs.
I would definately take one for my 75 RC...
Will ask for interest at the german boards, althougt i don´t know many 74-79 in Germany / Europe.
Will come back to you with any response i get..

I already thought of going to a shop where they built these kind of tops for boats and yachts. They should be familiar with it as the tops and also the hardware are pretty similar to the original...

Regards Muskote

Just had a look at my dealer brochures...

Seems like tops for 74´ differ from what´s going to fit for 75´ to 80´.
Anyway, a top for 75´up should still fit a 74´ with the window rails installed...

have a look, 76´ compared to 74´:





Got one positive feedback by now...

I would be in for one depending on price....How much were the ones that were most recently discontinued?????

I rembember them offered by Bestop for around 800 bucks until 2007 or so.
We talked at ramchargercentral about another company in the past "maybe" doing a new series for around 1400...
Have a look: RCC

Not a Ramcharger owner, but have been considering a Soft Topper for my '01 Ram 1500 truck for quite some time. I got the opportunity to inspect one recently and wanted to chime in on the quality of Soft Topper products. Just last week I was at a friend's house, and one of his buddies rolled up in a late model Toyota truck with a Soft Topper. He let me look it over real good, and as far as I'm concerned, it's made of top quality materials, and fit perfectly. They aren't inexpensive, but if a soft top is what ya gotta have, I think you'll be very impressed with their product.

I have no affiliation with Soft Topper either...

I and a few other Milwaukee, WI guys would be interested if someone started making these again!

Wish I was closer to CO, I would volunteer my Trailduster in a heartbeat!

I am a definite yes on one for sure.

This thread is about 1 1/2 years old, y'all. From the looks of it, Softopper doesn't offer RC tops, so I guess it was a no-go.

Well if there enough of us willing to commit,we could all still send e-mails expressing the interest to make it happen..I have connections in Colorado and would be willing to get a Ramcharger to this company if thats what it takes.

Rumblon did you ever go any further with this?

I just sent the company a link to this post, maybe it will spark there interest on it again.
