or is it just me?

Early, late, lifted, slammed. I think I like them all

Whatever the hell this thing is - Ram Centurion or something... 10/10

Am I wrong?

Accepting commentary including pictures from all who replied affirmative...

Love them. Especially the hood ornament. Would totally drive one over a blazer or bronco.

MEMEMEMEMEME!!!!

I couldn't find a decent one so my first car was a '95 Bronco Eddie Bauer (5.8!) instead.

Love! I do miss the old beast. What a truck. This was mine, many years ago...

haha smartass. I actually like that grille alot more. And I think all the plymouths were early enough to have the removable tops too

It was stock except a 2 inch body lift. I out the biggest BFG M/T KM2s i could on it and went dune hopping at Island Beach State Park.

In fact, I'd guess that picture was taken not awfully far away from you. I think the nearest town is named Kezar Falls.

Your boy, BJR > 505Turbeaux 10/14/2014 at 15:09

Yeah, they had the full length removable top (I think '78 did away with no full length convertibles unless they had a roll bar)

I did not know they were made in and for Mexico from 1999-2001:

haha I know it well. almost bought a house there on an island. A very small, weird island in the middle of town with a DRAW BRIDGE but the house needed way too much work to be 4 seasons. COOL!

I had one of these while I lived in Alaska. I only sold it because I had to move overseas. I LOVED that truck! (same color too!)

haha nice! Wow that was in good shape. How did you break it? Or did the fuel bills break you?

Maybe my favorite front end, but I'd also love a Trailduster, if only because there's so many less. On second thought, I might feel bad about beating a Trailduster.

Yup. They used export Caravan/Durango tail lights as well. Dodge loves parts sharing.

Fuel bills broke me. I got it right at the start of the "$4 per gallon" years, and sold it to a guy in clifton who had an '86 when it was new, and was going into his midlife crisis. Made $1000 on it, even with all the repairs and tires.

505Turbeaux > Your boy, BJR 10/14/2014 at 15:24

That is exactly why I sold the 8 MPG combined 73 QuadraTrac Wagoneer. Screw all that gas cost. Just to start it up cost 5 bucks.

Those taillights are hideous here

All I remember is that I'd burn an average of 32 gallons per week driving around 100 miles.

I've had two, an 85 and a 78. Loved them both. Still know who has my 78' and one day I want it back. My wife always said it was bringing down our property value, but it was an awesome truck.

This was mine.

My '78 had a full removable top, but it also had a roll bar. Love that truck!

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > 505Turbeaux 10/14/2014 at 15:41

I like them, but I prefer the Bronco and waaaay prefer the K5.

I guess a couple o sammiches wouldn't hurt

Ooh!!! Ooh!!! Me! I do!

I've always loved Ramchargers, since I was a little child. I'd still love to own one.

Except for the slammed truck. No sir, I don't like that one. I could pretend to like it, though...for...you know...reasons...

2WD only, but I'm sure it'd be easy enough to convert using Ram parts.

Those taillights though...

I always liked the trail duster better only cuz the grill and maybe the name.

I love the Bronco and the full-size Blazer, but no love for the Ramcharger/Trail Duster. Sorry, man.

I would take it like this

Agrajag > 505Turbeaux 10/14/2014 at 21:10

One of my favorite vehicles.

Paid I think $600 for mine. Had it maybe a little over a year. I didn't know enough about vehicles at the time to ever consider that it might no longer be attached to the frame. Still looking for a good one.

Kept the hood ornament.

I do! First car was a '78 SE 4x4 two-tone Bronze over Tan, bucket seats and center console, fully optioned including CB radio! Inherited from my old man - used to love everything but the gas bill.

haha my diesel land cruiser was the same. Totally detached in the back. Going over a bump you could hear the body slam against the frame!
