We Are Not In Competition For Diesels

[draginmopars]

:cheer:
Been reading here awhile, guess time for intro
Gayle and I (Howard) are team mates. We help each other in these truck builds

While looking for a Diesel for the car hauler, found one in Ky.
We found a group deal local, and ended up with 4. :doh:
of course ALL need maintenence/repairs

The flat bed is mostly a farm truck, hauling water for the garden.
or hauling the tractor and mower.

Dodge Ram, Ramcharger, Cummins, Jeep, Durango, Power Wagon, Trailduster Community for all Mopar Truck & SUV Owners. looks like a Different truck

The car hauler is what started this diesel stuff.. lol..
even with the OD trans behind the 440. Mileage still wasn't the greatest.

so once starting the build, first step is get rid of the Rust. and use the front section of the Ky cab to make the 73 look like a factory dieselop:
All this work just to haul a "Little Rampage" :drive:

Dodge Ram, Ramcharger, Cummins, Jeep, Durango, Power Wagon, Trailduster Community for all Mopar Truck & SUV Owners. 1973 cummins hauler

Dodge Rampage

Was our parts chaser for many years

the fuel tank started leaking
after inspection, found the uni-body separating also

Everyone kept saying it needed a 440 :doh:

then the track 13 miles away never opened
so then We needed a car hauler ETC.

like a snow ball....


never take your work tools home lol

trying to squeeze some time in for lexan and tin work

The Rampage just has a alum rod 15-1 440

Later when we get it shook down we'll put
the 540 out of the Satellite in

we just like building things different

 

[DEZLFREK]

just a aluminium rod 15-1 440 eh.. lol bad azz!!! looks awesome.. you guys do some cool stuff.. i like your style.
i used to race a mild 500ci dart, not quit up to those standards though

 

[bbbxcursion]

That barn is bad a$$!

 

[draginmopars]

thank you

We like darts also
have 71 swinger 360-A-999 trans/ 3.55 gear
back roads cruiser

after building the 2 one ton diesels. Gayle says
What ya going to do with the extra eng and trans
Why do'nt ya put it in the other 4 door Dart :doh:
so we can race them (dart vs Satellite/ both 4 doors) together :doh:

Gas vs Diesel :woohoo:

So, that's another reason we are here
to see whats needed for a 5.9 to fly the 1/4 *nx* :evil

 

[draginmopars]

That barn is bad a$$!
