Hey All, just signed on here.  Been over at RamchargerCentral.com and happened on this site. It looks like this one is pretty new.  I do see some folks on here from the other so I know the info will be as good  :thumbsup:  I haven't done a whole lot to it other than keep it running by replacing the old parts with new ones as needed.  I did purchase another 318 though that I'm building in my garage.  I have a lot of plans for it.  Anyhow, here's my truck:

'86 Dodge Ramcharger, 4X4, 318, 727, NPG208, General Grabber AT2 285/75R16s, Rough Country Nitro RCX 9000 Shocks
'04 Volvo XC70, AWD, 2.5L T5 Turbo
'99 Astro 4x2, 4.3L, 4"OLV lift, RS5000 Shocks, BFGoodrich 31x10.50 DECEASED...

Hah, well it ain't "rust free" but it doesn't look as bad underneath as some of you folks up north with all the road salt in the winter.  Although it was bought new in Leesburg Florida it has the normal rust under the driver floor pan close to the door as well as just below the left tail light.  Shouldn't take much to fix though. That's on the back burner until I get the new motor in and a 4" lift under it.  :toothy9:

i would guess any rust your truck has is minor compared to what we see up here. the cab supports on my 93 were pretty much gone when i went to go fix the wobbly drivers seat.
