My first Mopar Truck was a 77 Ramcharger, then an 89 Ramcharger, then I got a 77 Trailduster. First Powerwagon was a 77 then a 78. Got a 98 1500 then got the 85 pictured here. Also had a 85 w150 with a plow at the same time. My favorite of all time was my 99 V10 5 speed.

Only got pics of the last 2 ,oh we have an 03 also, but the 99 is my favorite, Trailduster is what I would love to get again.

Found a bad one of the ramchargerfront_side_view.JPG

The 76 Power Wagon spent almost a year near a copper smelter, so the paint was going quickly. It was traded in for a new Power Wagon in 1977. Another 440, another great truck.

The 77 lasted until the new 1994 V-10 replaced it. The 94 was not labeled a Power Wagon, but would have deserved the title. View attachment 2334
Finally sold it this year and replaced with a 2019 Tradesman Power Wagon. Looks like it will carry the tradition well!

On your 19, are those stock fender flares? Cause those look good!

I had a 98 360, QC LB 4x4 NV4500. Green. That was one wheelin' machine. Used to yank my buddy's 94 CTD out all the time.

I had a 1992 ram CTD that I put 515,000 on it.
The CTD was still as strong as the day I bought it but the rest of the truck was completely rusted out after 11 years.
Sold it for $6,000.
Bought a 2003 ram CTD DWD Laramie.

The HD Ram that started my obsession. Owned lots of light duty Dodge trucks before this one. Sold it a couple years ago. Have kicked myself everyday since.

360 4bbl, 4 speed, 4.10 gears, 4x4, 33×12.5x 16.5
Something about the old ones felt good our new ones are nice but different
