dodge trail truck

[johnboy wawa]

The truck is a 92 1/2 ton it has a MPI 318 a NV4500 trans and a NP231 t-case
the front is a P.O.S dana 44 with C.A.D and a 9.25 rear
The front has 2'' drop spring mounts and the rear has a add-a-leaf
it a long box and I would like to shorten the box by 31 inches
I also would like to shorten the frame behind the cab by 21 inches

sounds like a lot of work good luck

this is the truck when I got it 6 years ago

[MrClemons]

this is the truck when I got it 6 years

6 years is a long time! lets see how it looks now:D

[johnboy wawa]

this is the truck after I got hit by a ups truck yes I took the cash and bought a junk yard box. I also built the front bumper myself it has enough room for winch.

[Nickinator]

keep at it and i bet yowl get it you can do it

[johnboy wawa]

this is what it looked like when I painted it and sold it. I sold it 2700 dollars and bought it back for 500 bucks 2 years later with 4k more miles on it have to like good friends !

[muddyscout]

would look pretty sweet when finishe with a shortend frame and wedged and shortend box

[johnboy wawa]

I'm thinking of running a 4'' lift with 37'' or 38'' tires yes I will have to do some fender trimming but I also would like to keep it street legal because I don't have the money to trailer it around .

[zodiac]

u could try a ramcharger frame is that how far u want to cut it up then u dont need to get the wheels straight

[johnboy wawa]

I would like it shorter than a short box with good approach angles. but that might work I will have to look around for the length on that frame and body mounts thanks for the hint I didn't think of that

[johnboy wawa]

zodiac I see you have Dana 60 front for sale what gear does it have in it and does it have a locker

[Fluffy Bully]

look good now but i am sure it will be sweet when finished

[chevyguy]

looks good

[johnboy wawa]

so a little up date I have found a 60 front and 70 rear with 410 gears out of a 93 w350 tar baby and the axles also have 4'' inch lift springs and shocks ready to bolt in to my truck for 1500 bucks

[johnboy wawa]

dose anyone know if a two wheel drive Ramcharge frame is the same as a four wheel drive frame they look the same. any help would be great

[BlueMule87]

i am making a 2wheel drive truck into a 4x4 and let me tell you not to go down that path, man there is alot of cutting to do ont eh front to get rid of the old suspension. i can get you a 4x4 ramcharger if you want one, i have 2 myself and my uncle has 2 more, just let me kno. the frames are dimensionally the same.

[johnboy wawa]

how much would you like for one and what year are they thanks for the help

[BlueMule87]

i will get back to you in a few days as to when i can get it down here and a price. the truck is in bemidji so it will be a lil bit.

[BigOtire]

That will look sweet good luck

[BlueMule87]

well the only one i can get right now is one of my street trucks. i drive it almost everyday and it is very dependable it is rust but still looks good. id take 1200 for the truck but im guessing that for a trail truck thats too much. the wheels do not go with it, i will sell them for extra.

[johnboy wawa]

sorry I don't need a truck all I need is a frame with body mounts and suspension mounts

[BlueMule87]

sorry I don't need a truck all I need is a frame with body mounts and suspension mounts

[johnboy wawa]

so I would like to know how much any of you would pay for a truck it a 1980's dodge pickup with a chevy step side box it has a 60 frount and 70 rear no tires bad motor but it's a 440, auto trans. and a 205 t-case the truck is has been farmboy lifted. the motor and trans. came out of a winnebago motor home.

[muddyscout]

prolly 3- 700 depending on shape and if it is something u can use

[mudevil]

Its basically worth what the axles are worth.

[Team Goochie]

yea maybe just a little, you got a tranny and t-case that's good, and a block

[twoblood]

i would pay 700.00 to a 1,000. for it its well worth it in parts i would see how low he will go.

[twoblood]

this a nice ramcharger if it stil looks like this i got one same color used for plowing u cans see threw the doors

[BlueMule87]

[johnboy wawa]

thanks for the help I'll shoot him a price and see what he says. Top dollar will be 1000 bucks. if I get it I'll post up some pic's of it it wont be for a couple of weeks. but i will keep you all posted.

[johnboy wawa]

some pic's of the parts truck

[johnboy wawa]

By the way I hate this computer **** I cant figure out how to post up big pictures like the rest of you do. yes I do have a member ship.

[johnboy wawa]

I like how it stars out your swear words ****ing P.O.S. I aint that dumb

[ox_man]

for posting the big pics where are you hosting them? imageshack will give you thumbnail size by default but photobucket will leave them full size unless you want them small(requires extra work)

but no you don't need a membership to pots bigger pics but it helps the site so you should join anyways. its for a great cause

otherwise try hosting the pics here in your own album

[johnboy wawa]

going to get the parts truck on sunday got it for $750 and sold the cab and frount clip for $350 by the way I'm looking for some 16'' rims and tires I would like 38'' tires or 16''x10'' 8 bolt rims

[johnboy wawa]

so I finally figured out how to post up pictures on the site so enjoy!!

[johnboy wawa]

here is some more, can any one tell me what t-case this is it has what looks like a range box in the frount and a p.t.o cover plate on the drivers side it is also cast steal I will get a side view of it in the next couple of days. Also it bolts up to the trans.

[johnboy wawa]

Some more had to get the toys in their. yes the motor needs to be re-built differnt project same with trans. the motor is a 440

[johnboy wawa]

I also figured out the gear ratio I was told it was 5.13 but it turns out to be 4.88's even beter for the road

[johnboy wawa]

[ox_man]

[twoblood]
