*smashes through wall...skids to stop*

Hey there. I'm new. Sorry about the wall, I know a good block mason....

Glad to be here everyone. I wanted to join since I have my 1980 Plymouth Trailduster. Had it just under a year and love it. It's a full convertible with a 1982 Dodge Ramcharger front end that has locking hubs for the 4WD. It also has 3/4 ton suspension and is quite a beast, really fun to drive. The 413 just spun a bearing, so I'm going to slap a 440 in it and sell the 413 as is. It's rebuildable.

Any other Trailduster owners here?

Hey, and welcome! I don’t have a Trailduster but I have a ’78 Ramcharger with a 440 in it and I really like the sound of your setup. Have any pictures? I just love those old Traildusters, especially ones outfitted with a big block.

My Ramcharger is lifted but in the future, I’d like to swap over to ¾ or one ton axles so that I never have to worry. For the past seven years or so, I’ve been driving a monster Jeep Cherokee built for trails, but my hardcore trail driving days are behind me, I think; now I’m leaning more toward the small camp trailer/lots of room department, and the old Ramcharger fits the bill perfectly.

Welcome to the site! I wanna see your rig.

Thanks guys. I have some pics on an album I created. Check 'em out.

Damn Capt! I love that truck. Looks like a beast.

I actually used mine in a movie titled "The Truck". I won't spam about it though. I'm sure that wouldn't be cool. It did serve the purpose though.

Looking forward to checking out more rigs from the members on here.

Here’s my Ramcharger a couple months and a LOT of work after I got it. Now the top is black and it looks waaaay better, but you get the idea.
