Devilz Im sorry. I tried to find a part # on them before I mounted them to try and buy spares incase they were bad. I couldnt find one. I know they say goodyear on them but no numbers. Im a little envious as your RC looks so clean. My one and only regret at this time is that I didnt find a first gen series RC (1974-80) to use. I think with the top off it would be one cool ride.

 

Thanks! I agree a poptop RC would be the sweet! But, where there is a will there is a way, we built one, we could always build another. I've been told it is easier the 2nd time

 

Im sure once I start driving it I wont mind the year. I always wanted a Cummins Canyon Sport. Im a typical american I guess. Never satified My first car was a 1979 RC with a 360 in it. I purchased it from my uncle who was the original owner. The top was never off of it, ever. For him or I. Only now do I wish Dodge would have kept the removable roof. I just cant wait to hear the engine purring at 1700rpms through the straight 4" exhaust. Music to my ears

 

What happened to this thing? Is it alive yet?

Guys I havent lost interest. Just working a lot and the fact that dad has the shop full of his trucks and me not wanting to work out in the cold. But with the weather starting to get nice enough to work outside here is what I have gotten done.

1. Made a custom steering arm (similar to Borguson)
2. Installed a new pinion seal and both axle seals in the front end.
3. Reinstalled pinion and carrier
4. Installed new Spicer axle joints, then installed the axles.
5. Installed new bearings, races, and seals in both front hubs.
6. Installed new rotors and then installed the hubs onto the front end.
7. Installed my new Mile Marker lockout hubs.

Next will be the brake calipers and pads. Then I can install the front driveshaft and tie rod with new ends. Then I will take it down the driveway to see how it feels

 

Well guys today I had it move under its own power for the first time in three years. This time powered by Cummins. I took it down my long driveway and back. Other than the steering being tight and it seeming to have a very spongy brake pedel if felt and ran awesome! Very loud (which I love) and proud! Four years of buying up the parts and working on it has led up to this day. Hopefully tomorrow I can work out a few little bugs. Here is a video of it running. The stance with the 285/75/16 BFG tires and the mean bumpers makes it look mean. I will get better pics tomorrow but I did take a little video with my phone. Sorry for the poor quality, but its all I have. Enjoy

 

Congrats Freight train!

 

Thank DJ.
Well I didnt get to do to much to it today. Dad had me rip the front clip off his next project. Anyways, I did figure out the driverside power window motor is bad. I did snap a couple pics. Please remember this thing is dirty. It will get a nice bath soon. Thank you to everyone who has helped me.

 

Now all she needs is a good coat of red and gold paint eh?

 

DJ on ramchargercentral I saw pics of a Macho painted RC. It also was a diesel conversion. If I ever save up enough cash I might do a red Macho paint job. You have no idea how much I am in love with this rig. Its like the first girl friend. IM IN LOVE

 

Yea man I am diggin the rear bumper on it especially and there was a sweeeeeet Cummins ramcharger around here for sale a while ago for 25 grand painted green it was sweet for sure!

 

DJ there is a 1991 with a 3spd auto in it about 25 miles away from me. A lot cleaner as far as rust goes but I knew building mine that I had to have a 5spd. The NV4500 feels like butter, especially with the Hurst pistol grip

 

Looks really good! I like it!

 

Man I gotta get a manual truck!

 

Guys I got off work today and had some blue skies to wash the RC. Afterwards I took it down the road about a mile or so. IT SOUNDS FREAKING AWESOME!!! I washed it up a bit and snapped some pics next to my dually
