I have asked this in the past but have received conflicting info. I am semu looking for a Ramcharger AS A PROJECT AS THEY SEEM TO BE CHEAP OUT HERE. However I want one that the roof comes off and BELIEVE that the last year for this was 74-79??? Then the roof comes off to the end of the cab through 81, then to the full non removable roof after that???

Thanks
Dave

The removable roof was from 74 to 80. All Ramchargers with a removable roof had the full roof removable. None had the Bronco/Blazer style half roofs to my knowledge. When they changed the sheetmetal over to the boxier 81-93 style they no longer had the removable tops.

thanks I looked as well

The Ramcharger was primarily produced as a two-door, full-time four wheel drive vehicle, although a two wheel drive version was available starting in 1975. During development, it was known as the "Rhino".[1] 1974 through 1980 models have a removable hard top, although dealer-installed soft tops were available. The first year model differs from the others in that its door pillars are attached to a removable roof.

Like many vehicles, the Ramcharger was used in rallying, although its use was very limited. It did have some success, as demonstrated by achieving first place at Sno*Drift in 1975. In 1978 and 1979 the 360 CID's horsepower was bumped up to 195 horsepower (145 kW). 1978 was the last year for the 440 CID, which by then only put out 215 horsepower (160 kW).
