About time you start on that thing. I swear you have the cleanest RC North of the Mason Dixon line. I just bought another toy. What do you think? I go pick it up next Sat! I cant wait. Factory 4spd and a 273 car. Plus its the greatest color out there. RED!!!
Sorry, I know this is a Cummins website but we all love everything MOPAR! lol

Yeah I love that RC, but truck pulling has priority lately, I finally have the cummins on the stand ready for seals and gaskets and plan to pull the gas drivetrain out as soon as I get a Fiat motor rebuilt for my buddy's dad. Wow that is a great looking 'cuda. I love that body style and the stance with a good suspension underneath is awesome. So is that the next cummins swap? I don't think you could make a 4bt spin as hard as a 273 but there is a first time to everything!!

Thank you TX. I LOVE Cuda's
Lol, no Cummins for it. It has a stout 318 in it currently but the current plan is to keep in the same through the Summer and enjoy it. Then maybe buy a Mopar crate motor or even a new 6.4ltr Hemi. Those 392's are mean! Plus with the push that Mopar Performance is making to aid shade tree mechanics like us with pcm's and harnesses the swaps are are getting easier. But for now the built 318 and A833 tranny will stay put.

Well guys the 285-75-16 seemed to small for it. So I kept looking until I found a great deal on a nice used set of 35x12.50x16.5 tires. I found these used BF Goodrich Mud Terrains on American racing wheels. Well I think it looks awesome but I am bias

Looking REALLY good!
Found me a 1994 MEXICAN RamCharger that I'm working on buying that has no engine and tranny.
Guess what may happen with this one?

Mark you silver tongue devil.
I have had my eye on a red 1999 over on Ramchargercentral. That would be one rare and cool ride. Just please make it a 4x4? I have no idea why they never offered a 4x4 after 1993. I guess our Hispanic brethern to the South never showed interest in 4x4 models. Who knows, please email me pics when you get it. Other than the Caravan rear hatch they are very cool!!!!

Caravan rear hatch?
No, this one and a '95 I have seen use the same rear hatch as the older ones did.
I think they went to the Caravan hatch and roof when they re-styled for the '99-'01s.
I did find one claimed to be a 1995 on C/L in Minnesota a couple weeks ago.
It appeared to use the earlier R/C rear 1/4s up to the doors and a "2nd Gen" Ram front clip with what looked like a hybrid of a Durango front grille set-up.
The ad DID mention that it was a "Custom", so it could well have been a do-it-yourself re-style.
Actually, here's a link to it:

I may be off on the year range for some of this, it's hard to get reliable information with the language barrier and the terms that differ from our societies.

I am fully aware of the '99-'01 RCs.
They actually appear to use the roof and window areas from a Caravan, as well as the tail hatch.
If you look close, they also appear to morph in some of the extended cab features, as well.
It looks like I will end up with the Mexican '94, talked to the owner of the yard and he said he would get it and an '81 VW Rabbit 4 door dug out for me this next week.
