Diesel Ramcharger
Up for sale is my 1990 diesel Ramcharger... 6bt powered
WITH A CALIFORNIA DIESEL TITLE good luck trying to find or make another with a diesel title.
Swap was performed with a 1990 W350 cab'n'chassis commercial doner truck, which included engine, axles, and front springs.
1992 A518 transmission and t-case with aftermarket cooler & fan
crank windows
Runs and drives well, could use some attention;
I have a new vacuum pump for the brakes, which I haven't installed.... Some rust in the passenger rocker panel and in lower quarter front of the rear tire (replacement sheet metal is available). Rest of the truck is rust free and solid.
I have some extras like a good rear headliner, another grille, skid plate for the fuel tank, and a heavy tube steel bumper I was modifying to replace the bent rear one.
She's great and a blast to drive. I love this truck and wish I could keep it. It was my dream to build one of these and now I have to get rid of it to keep the bills paid. I need to downsize the fleet.
PRICE DROP TO $5000 Located in South Lake Tahoe, CA (530)416-1776 call after 5:30 pm pacific time or text any time. Bilgerat671@gmail.com

Right after the swap and before the new doors:
During the swap:
Extent of the rust:
Youtube video of the first start:
Additional info:
Turbo is from a '94 4x4 2500 5-spd, hence the intake tubing in the pictures...
Exhaust WAS a full 4" straight exhaust out back, now it terminates before the front axle (interesting story).
Front hubs were swapped for ones from a '92 W250 so regular wheels could be run in front.
Doors were swapped due to old doors having no window regulators, but rather 2x4"s and nerf footballs holding them up, not rust... Swapping doors was easier for me than swapping the internal parts.
Tires are NEW with about 3,000 miles on them.

Thanks. Me too. Bills and steamboats have priority nowadays. Unless I fall into a significant pile of money in the very near future she will have to go.
