I love to see some 80s dodges saved. I’m a big fan of the 81-93 dodges. I have 3 of them myself. All of them are similar where there is no rust under the front half and the back is a tad crusty. But they’re good trucks and have never let me down.
Absolutely incredible. Amazing, the little amount of rust, the condition of this thing is out of this world, I was supposed to get one from an old friend but he passed and his kids junked it. It’s beautiful to see you working on this and bringing it back to glory
To quote a great man, "If it works, is it really a dumb idea?" - Derek Bieri You get the nod and a firm handshake from me for those electrical tape bushings.

I have a friend whose dad took apart really nice pieces of machinery to “fix them” and impress him when he was younger, and if he couldn’t fix it, he’d let it sit outside in the elements, now, ne’s repairing his dad’s “fixer upper” which, now is a real fixer upper, that is a Yamaha 4 wheeler, I forgot it’s full name, but it is rusty as heck! I hope it’s able to be fixed.
In this episode, we learn why the good ol' boys down South say: "Hey, y'all! Watch this!" Then, when you were actually driving it on the road I was thinking, "Oh, yes... he's crazy." And then I realized: I used to do sketchy crap like this all the time! Party on, Garth!
Kev, I can't believe you did all that work. I mean, come on, you are one stubborn man. I want to say, you do things I would have done back in the day. What a great job just putting this together to drive. You must be a proud man to have accomplished all that in less than 3 days. Great job!!!
I literally work at Subway and my favorite one is the steak and cheese melt with the onions fried before put on the sandwich with pepper jack and provolone cheese and some sweet Chipotle
I've had an 82 and 88 RamCharger and an 89 donor.. love them. You seem to have no body... Edit: shit I spoke too soon. Just the beveled glass is valuable on those. Love it. You have my views and likes for any RamCharger content. PS once you can.. please do a hell cat RamCharger build.
@@goonridingupnorth1382 same could be said to you about automatic locking hubs if I'm not mistaken.. my dad had a 77 when I was little loved how mean they looked.
Lol the rolls of electrical tape are sketchy AF its' a terrible idea. Yeah their super hard now, but what about after they've been in place for a while and all the adhesive starts to wear out from the heat and weight of the truck.
The moment he said "I learned something the other day" I knew he was going to talk about rain percentages. Me and so many of my coworkers have a been talking about that its been a hot topic lately - Also, Chicken Bacon Ranch is the best subway sandwich. Load it up with jalapenos and you've got a winner
Sorta like a North Easterly wind is not the direction the wind is blowing but where it is coming from. So it more likely blowing to the South and West. That too is a topic of conversation. Then there is that pesky dew point.
Ive been telling people this for the last 3 years since i moved to Oklahoma when i first got here i got a job doing flooring. And i was always told we dont work on rainy days mostly because the guy i worked for just like myself hated creating messes to clean especially when we are installing $50,000 worth of Egyptian hand made carpet White,Cream, and light grey outside is is RED Clay dirt. The night before this job we were told hey lets just finish this restaurant job tonight and we will push the carpet job a day or 2 its supposed to "RAIN" we started it at about 11 am mind you we had already done about 90% of the work at a prior date we finally finished at 1:37 am 14.5 hrs later. 7:30 am there's a knock at my door there's the boss just chilling at the door with some smoke and 🍩. Says come with me help me get that carpet to the house ill pay you today. No problem get there and all of a sudden he wants to start the job because the homeowners talked him into it oh it aint gonna rain i lived here over 60 years. They showed him how it said 💧2% i told him that just means that 2% of the area will get rain there is still 100% chance the rain will fall. He said nah we'll be alright i said yea you say that now until your outside cuttin carpet and starts meanwhile me and my cousin will be rushing carrying the the rest of it inside you just better hope the ankle biters arent outside when it starts because there's gonna be red dirt foot prints everywhere. Well guess what i called it to the T and the rats ran all over EVERY bit of carpet that was installed 4 different flights of stairs in 3 different areas of the house the living room 3 of the 5 bed rooms that we did 2 weren't done yet and 1 office the dining room and a common room. And guess who calles the flooring store complaining about their installer. And then the boss asked from that day forward what i thought about the weather before starting a job if he wasn't sure lmao i just said check the weather
Thank you for having such a good channel. My family always looks forward to your new adventures. And enjoy watching your old ones that we haven't seen yet. My wife has even commented how generally polite you are and the fact that you keep the language family friendly.(for the most part) 😁 And that you can poke fun at yourself
My brother had one back in the 70's he was in the air force so it didn't have many miles on it even after 30 yrs.he finally traded it but I bet he would love to have It back right now. He just turned 70. It had been shipped to Germany and the Azores island and Hawaii but always lived on base and had a scooter to ride back and forth to where he worked or walked . He was crazy to let it go.it was like new when he traded it in.He washed and waxed that thing often and I was on that ramcharger that he taught me at like 12 yrs old how to wash wax and shine a vehicle up and I hace done the same to every vehicle I've ever owned. I even keep the engine and the underside of the hood and inside of the fenders .everything under the hood shined and does today on my land rover. He taught me that if your paying that much money for a vehicle to make sure you keep it looking new and running great and always keep it serviced. I'm 60 and I still do all that inside and out. Something to be proud of for sure
Love them or hate them, this is one of my bucket list cars to own. I've always loved the Ramcharger. Favorite Subway sandwich: sea food and crab on whole wheat with mayo and cheddar and salt and pepper.
Favorite subway, out of all the creatures God put on this planet and you choose seafood, what the hell bro, if your gonna eat a $6 subway sandwich at least enjoy yourself 🤣
You n Mook effing rock man. Sooo many hours of resto watched already. So lucky to have such beautiful classics to work on just wouldnt work here in England...And here we have a rusted out Vauxhall Cavalier 1.4 and I'm going to get stopped X amount of times trying to get this shed home...Wish my family had gone through with emigrating to Florida back in 03...keep up the amazing work.
Kev, when COVID is over, come to Australia and do the “Shitbox Rally” , yes it’s a real thing, thousands of Kms through the outback, in a car that can only cost you A$1000. How about doing an Aussie revival!
Kevin and Mook doing a revival on a cheap Aussie car for the shitbox rally would make for a great video. I could definitely see them reviving an junk commodore, falcon something similar
How about the rolls of electrical tape? What about after they've been in place for a while? And the heat dust water an weight of the body starts to wear on them...
That is spectacular bud, I owned a Ramcharger a couple years back, made a few trips with the family, great memories and I miss it something fierce. Had to part with it. Bunch of hoo-ha, after dad passed we needed to cut some corners to not become homeless. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for resparking some good memories for me.
This has been an amazing effort. Keep this kind of content up, it really sets you apart. Also, Spicy Italian is my favorite. Buffalo Chicken too, but that's a limited-time item.
Great video. Makes me wish I still had my 86 Ramcharger (that I bought new). First new vehicle I ever had. Mine was two tone blue with the 360. Probably same carburetor. Always took at least two tries to get it to stay running in the morning. I think they went to TBI in 87 or 88. I remember I saw a RC just like this one in 85 and thought I want one.
Just to clarify, weather forecasters have changed the meaning of 40% "chance" at least 3 times in my lifetime. I'm now convinced that it means that their rain forecast will be 60% wrong!
"Surprisingly mint" "Low mileage!" Kevin... Do you need to see an optician? I'm scared. "Will probably be sold by the time this video goes out!" I admire the optimism. 😂
this was a great episode!! What a rush to get this RAM in sooo many pieces and then put it back together AND RUN> WOW> thanks for having Mook help you out.
By far one of my favorite videos. To see you put that truck back together by yourself is amazing. Love the use of electrical tape. I've used it for a lot of stuff, never thought about using it for a mount though.
I typically don't comment, but I am a long time viewer. Basically from the beginning, I have seen all your videos. I sometimes go back and watch them all again because I enjoy the content, which is actually what I am doing right now lol. Anyways, the reason for this comment is Subway. My Subway order has been the same for over 30 years, Footlong Turkey Sub with mayo, American cheese (it used to be Swiss, but they stopped carrying it for some reason), and all the veggies. Thought I would comment because funny enough I was eating a turkey sub and you asked "whats ur favorite subway sandwich". So there you go lol. Oh and BTW we need more Ezra on the channel lol.
It really does, in Maine it would sell for 3k EASY. Ramchargers are super dooper rare. Thats crazy good shape for a Northern ram charger, they rot hard.
It does sound cheap but I think that's because lately people are super delusional in the prices they are asking for classics. And rusted out crap at that! This is what stuff used to cost, especially if it needed work done
I know its rare and all but in a state like that it should at least be 1000. Chassy not bolted on properly and cant even start right but its ur car at the end of the day so what can i say.
We love you too, Kevin! And good thing you changed it from the 2 day challenge to the don't die challenge, because while we love the content you bring us with crazy projects like this, putting yourself into serious danger, or really any kind of danger, is not worth it. We want you to stay alive so you can show us more crazy stuff! 😊
MAN!!!, What an EPIC set of Concert tix..., Being 47 now..., I can only wish to have seen that whole lineup... lol. nice work BTW, love all the Vids from you, Mook, Thunder, Dylan, and Vicegrip.. ETC. BIG Ups to you all.... much Love From Red Deer Alberta, Canada... *Fist Bump*
That was very ambitious in the first place, but you get more done in 3 days than I can do in a month or two! Thanks for keeping safety first and not driving on bad tires, as well as everything else that was clapped out. Keep up the great work! You guys rock!
Wish I had been following you when you did this. I would have bought it in a heartbeat. I love ramchargers. I've had several of them and they are getting hard to find.
"And... you're sitting on a throne of lies!" - That girl is worth her weight in gold. P.s. foot long pizza sub, toasted with all the salad and ranch dressing.

@8:46 when I saw the floor jack free stack lumber crane assembly I KNEW you is one of us !🤣
One of your best videos yet. Glad Mookster was able to help out at the end.
"Surprisingly mint" "Low mileage!"
Kevin... Do you need to see an optician? I'm scared.
"Will probably be sold by the time this video goes out!"
I admire the optimism. 😂
You gotta think of of the other cars he has found like that, a chassis and a body separate, so it probably is “surprisingly mint” but idk just a guess
this was a great episode!! What a rush to get this RAM in sooo many pieces and then put it back together AND RUN> WOW> thanks for having Mook help you out.
By far one of my favorite videos. To see you put that truck back together by yourself is amazing. Love the use of electrical tape. I've used it for a lot of stuff, never thought about using it for a mount though.
One hell of an effort to resemble somebody else's project. Job well done.
I typically don't comment, but I am a long time viewer. Basically from the beginning, I have seen all your videos. I sometimes go back and watch them all again because I enjoy the content, which is actually what I am doing right now lol. Anyways, the reason for this comment is Subway. My Subway order has been the same for over 30 years, Footlong Turkey Sub with mayo, American cheese (it used to be Swiss, but they stopped carrying it for some reason), and all the veggies. Thought I would comment because funny enough I was eating a turkey sub and you asked "whats ur favorite subway sandwich". So there you go lol. Oh and BTW we need more Ezra on the channel lol.
Very impressed you got the body on the chassis and got the motor running and it's moving some what nice work Kevin good episode @Junkyard Digs
Ok I know we're friends and all but $1500 sounds CHEAP
It really does, in Maine it would sell for 3k EASY. Ramchargers are super dooper rare. Thats crazy good shape for a Northern ram charger, they rot hard.
Sounds like a great deal. You put at least that much in labor to put it together plus a video to go with it!
It does sound cheap but I think that's because lately people are super delusional in the prices they are asking for classics. And rusted out crap at that! This is what stuff used to cost, especially if it needed work done
I know its rare and all but in a state like that it should at least be 1000. Chassy not bolted on properly and cant even start right but its ur car at the end of the day so what can i say.
That's Iowa for you. Bought a 68 torino coupe for $300 and drove it home
Can we all just take a minute to talk about that paint.....!? How in the world has that come up so clean!!!! Stunning colour's.
Amazed you found enough hardware to put it together
Whoever drove that truck had awesome taste in music
just shows that a single human can achieve anything, well done.
We love you too, Kevin! And good thing you changed it from the 2 day challenge to the don't die challenge, because while we love the content you bring us with crazy projects like this, putting yourself into serious danger, or really any kind of danger, is not worth it. We want you to stay alive so you can show us more crazy stuff! 😊
The correct expression is, "It's raining Datsun cogs".
And if your under a Datsun it's raining rust
@@wildman510 and if its a 240Z it's also very expensive rust
MAN!!!, What an EPIC set of Concert tix..., Being 47 now..., I can only wish to have seen that whole lineup... lol. nice work BTW, love all the Vids from you, Mook, Thunder, Dylan, and Vicegrip.. ETC. BIG Ups to you all.... much Love From Red Deer Alberta, Canada... *Fist Bump*
That was very ambitious in the first place, but you get more done in 3 days than I can do in a month or two! Thanks for keeping safety first and not driving on bad tires, as well as everything else that was clapped out. Keep up the great work! You guys rock!
When he said “I would scream like that too if I was loose” my invisible dad laughed
I only got the joke until I read it, I couldn’t figure out what he meant when he said it 😂😂
Well done, very impressed you got that body on without a lift.
At 14 mins in I become INSANELY jealous when I realize this is a vehicle that you can work on the engine without doing holistic jedi yoga. Good video!
Most old American trucks were like that, and GMC is still like that with the Silvarado. I love my f150, but it's crap for that.
Clean up the Bronco, get her running and roll her over the auction block.
Get it cleaned up and keep it up as an off-road beast
Wo0o0o0ot
@@joshpittman2939 Naw, she's too good looking.
Or he could raffle ot off. He'd make a killing off from $10 raffle tickets.
Wish I had been following you when you did this. I would have bought it in a heartbeat. I love ramchargers. I've had several of them and they are getting hard to find.
I just got an 86 yesterday. Insanely hard to find parts for here in pa especially driveline parts
13:55 "...and there's stuff that pops up whenever I try to do anything." SAME bro, story of my life.
The old wrecker is badass , kinda reminds me of the one on wrong turn , very rad🤘
Great video! Steak and cheese w/ pepper jack, green and banana peppers, onions, jalapeños, mayo and southwest sauce on parm garlic.
29:20 those are the best sound effects I ever heard
yes
Looks very well optioned too - electric windows and locks, cruise, A/C….. all options on these back then.
It is just so beautiful, seeing that thing pull out of the shop. Just amazing, I’m so excited
"Welcome back to bad decisions!" Classic.😀
Thanks to you & Mook's trip to California, I have a "bit" of a Sneak Peak into the content of this Video!
Please share
Likewise, not sure what we're talking about here
you ever try DMT?
@@bigcountryjd nah man try shrooms they're cheaper
@@matthewshaw9078 love them morels
This might be your best and most amazing episode yet. Ill bet it left you exhausted but great job and great keep up the good work!
"And... you're sitting on a throne of lies!" - That girl is worth her weight in gold.
P.s. foot long pizza sub, toasted with all the salad and ranch dressing.
When I saw the Thumbnail and saw JUST the chassis, I thought you were gonna drive that home lmaoo 😂
Finally found a good video of a ramcharger. I have a 85 I’m working on. 318 4speed 4wheel drive.
OMG 1:30am GMT😴😴😴😴
This'll be one to watch Saturday morning 👍🏻
ye im with you there. good night
*Laughs in PST*
I was at that Metallica concert at the mark in 97.Had just turned 24. Time flys.
Kevin, that day 3 shirt truly is the very best one "I've" ever, oh she left the room, whew!!!
That Pantera ticket tho.... hope either you or the prev. owner keeps it safe.
I saw them in 1999 with coal chamber and anthrax…. Utica war memorial in upstate NY
I saw them on that tour with White Zombie opening at The Ranch Bowl bowling alley in Omaha. Great show…White Zombie was awesome too.
Man yo I was there. I never thought i would see someone talking about that concert today. Eye hate god was there. The thing of that concert Pantera and white zombie. The Deftones were opening act and they brought the house down. I never seen such shit.
I rewind-ed.I went to half those concerts. Um thats so weird. did I used own this truck? Man my memory sucks.
I was waiting for Derek's brother Krang to show up behind you in his K10 to give you a bump/push.
Derek would have not cried so much and he would have got it home
I can’t believe what you did putting that together and getting it to run. Amazing.
After seeing Lone Wolf McQuade when I was a kid I always wanted one of these
It's a revell model kit just need some glue an some paint.
Favorite subway sandwich--- The Feast, off menu and some places have no clue.
Great project truck.
Kevin sure cusses up a storm when Mook isn't around.
