Ken - it's not a RamCharger, it's actually a Trail Duster... but that's OK...! my brother built it last year and put 3/4 tons under it...

no pics of this, but i've gottenthe van towed to work so i can play with it on lunch and after work hours...

i got a raunchy carpet out of it, nd tossed, and i found some rot directly in front of the passenger seat - it had rubber floor lining,but with damn carpet padding (GREAT IDEA GM!!!!!!!!!!!!) and that was still wet when i picked it up... so, i've got a little rust repair to deal with - nothing horrible - i'll grab some pics tomorrow...


i also got the dog house off and have been trying to get it to run... it will turn over and feel like it wants to catch, but won't... i pulled out some ancient 'autolite' plugs, and there's no spark at the end of the wires (there is spark at the cap)... oh, it has 'autolite professional' wires on it - yeah, a wal-mart tune up alright...

so i'm going to put MSD & AC Delco products from Summit on when they arrive tomorrow or Thursday and go from there...

it is getting fuel to the carb - it flooded the plugs...

I pulled the rest of the rubber mat out of the blue Dodge on Monday. The van has been in the garage for, what, like 2 months and it still had a puddle under it and the insulation was soaked.

I actually always had good luck with autolite parts as well, maybe they were just old and crusty.

Good luck with your build.

All the brands put some kind of insulation /sound deadner under the rubber mats.
With no sunroofs in that van you need to find where the water is coming from.
Not to scare you but Mid 3rd gen GM vans had a rust issue at the bottom of the windshield frame.....
