Ramcharger Grille



Anyone know if a late 80's ramcharger grille like this one will fit in place of the 89-90 non I/C style plastic grille?

That's a ~77-78 D, W and Ramcharger grill. Anything's possible I'm sure. Hideous though IMO lol.

I like them old grills it may fit but I am sure it will require some fabrication to get it to fit.

I think you would want to find a valance and core support from those years... hard i'm sure. Unless u can weld, adapting everything to make that look right would be a task.

That is my favorite Grille.... It may work, I think the fender line on the 81-93 trucks are straighter on the outside edges. You should look for a valance from a 77-78 dodge or Plymouth truck/ramcharger/trailduster.

Grille will fit fenders fine. Issues will be round headlights and valence. I am pretty sure the headlights are in the right place, just wrong shape. Here is a pic of a '75 grille on an '89 core to give an idea.

By the way, there are folks who will give you real money for a '78ish grille in that kind of condition. Good luck.
