This particular Ram is a 1987 D-150 half-ton model, which gained a new grille the year before in 1986, and was updated with minor visual changes. Swapped out the tires from the Ramcharger and put them on the pickup to see what it would look like, I've gotta say I think it looks sick, the Ramcharger.

But my dads friend who works at the shop we got it towed to, he told me what it needed to get running, he said that it sounds great and the trans shifts perfectly.

But the paint that I used will Not Stick if you get the frame too clean it needs some of the rough rust to stick too.
If only I had the space, I'd have kept it for parts Yea it should be fine to paint those as well, I did it too mine. The truck itself was nice and with a different non computer engine it would have been just fine. The last picture is of a Ramcharger my friend happened to spot in a parking lot when we looked over the fence behind his dads shop. I've never seen a street that looks like that. I have gotten a lot of people who say they have them put I never hear back from them. After being brought to Maryland, the truck went through a period of refurbishment, which included a new paint job and the installation of a new tonneau cover.
But I am doing the frame on my Ramcharger too without taking anything off, just sitting under it and using the scraper, and the drill wire brush, lying on my back under the truck. I was hoping to get a little done today, woke up to pouring rain. WheelSystemFilter selectedWheelSystemList, null ; wheelSystemFilter. What are your thoughts on this clean 1987 Dodge Ram D150?

From when I was four to thirteen years old, my dad owned five Dodge trucks: a 1983, a 1984, a 1987, and a 1988, and a 1974 Dodge D300 dump truck aptly named Lousille.
Then about 2 months ago we just happened to be in Hatboro and he was with us so I told him he has to go back and see it up close, Since he didn't believe me that it was the np435 trans. When I went to start the truck and went to turn the wheel it started making all kinds of noise then just wouldn't work. I'm in the process of cleaning up my back end right now. Hey thanks, I was pretty happy with it to when I picked it up, for Maaco they did a great job. I have wire brushes for the drill, sander and all that.
I was going to write the truck off but the trustees at the police department got it running again! Chrysler Corporation in no way endorses or is affiliated with this site. Had the 318 with 5 speed on the floor. We thought he messed up the whole trans. With all the electrical gremlins and now the tranny locked up, I said goodbye and moved on. I would build up the 318 by swapping in a four-barrel carburetor and throwing a bunch speed parts at it, install a dual-exhaust and a set of headers, add a Gear Vendors overdrive unit to the Torqueflite, and do some nice, smoky burnouts and cruising for a while before swapping in a or built 440 big-block.

Oh ok, well I think I'll just do the back for now too, see how that goes first. They looks sweet takin' the road over. Overall, this truck would be a nice shop truck or muscle truck candidate that could be built up on the cheap; I could see a lot of burnouts being done once this truck is built up mechanically if ever. Unfortunately, the seller must have forgot to paint the inside of the pickup bed and tailgate, which is mired by a bunch of scratches. Feedback 2 barrel carb on the 318 was terrible.
So why not join us? This Dodge D-150 is a 1987 model, and would be perfect as a shop truck and parts hauler. Well he saw it and was feeling sick at the time so he hardly even looked at it. About 2 years of just looking to the back of the lot and saying, hey look at that old dodge truck back there. I guess I sat on it when I was putting the fender in and bent it, haha. I'm actually one of the kids watching him , kid with grinder do all the work! So around august of this year I decided to go over and look at it.
Also, it is a short box. Yea it runs great just got it started yesterday, needed a starter and battery. I don't have any major tools or space, just looking to paint the frame as painlessly as possible. Like allot of the fix up ideas.
