Bagged 1975 Dodge Ramcharger - 3 year build progress
Переглядів 8 тис.Рік тому
Finally done editing all my footage from the last few years of building my first ever project truck. I ended up having to move out of my shop due to the property being sold and all tenants needing to move, so the build got rushed at the end of 2021 - had to piece it together enough to tow it home ... i will post SHORTER update clips from now on... no more 3 year long edits. Feel free to ask que...

    Ain't no 75. Stacked headlights are 79 through 81.

    • @theramchargers

      We got a winner!!! That’s correct .. the paperwork is 75 , when I bought it I thought the same thing , it had been crashed and repair with round light 79 parts and grille. I swapped in a quad light radiator support and grille to match my other 79… 75 on paperwork will allow me to be smog exempt , so I hunted for this thing

      79-80 for the RamCharger and Dodge trucks. There were styling changes in 81, with one rectangular headlight on each side. I recently heard that the Plymouth Trailduster production ended in 1981, but I'm not sure whether the 81 Trailduster kept the old style or was restyled for its last year.

    Would've been even better, speaking production numbers, if there had been a super six with 4 speed overdrive. Very few produced, very few remain in factory, not modified condition.

    That sunroof could be factory, they were called Sky Lite sunroofs. Pretty rare. I've been lucky enough to get a bunch of NOS parts for pop tops including an NOS roof, but those seals have to be even more rare. Super cool

      thank you so much for the support man! im hoping to upload more often instead of hoarding footage like this... i have a hard time seeing/hearing myself on camera when im editing ...so i need to get used to it i guess.

      @theramchargers just do you man, don't worry about what everyone else is doing would be my best suggestion. I loved the no speaking style of this video. You could do more of those and take each piece of what your doing and make it it's own video. Like I'd like to see more of the fabrication and air bag install
