Hauled my buddies 72 plymouth "roadbummer" across town from his old place to his new place.
He is a dodge guy (bless his soul) and I have the trailer. His 2500 ram is too lifted to use my little dolly even with the 6" drop hitch (haha). Put the Rainier to work.
Talk about an 80's build! Cragars, funny stripes, air shocks, sunpro tach, likely had sidepipes, CB antenna. Was a 318 satellite. Has a good 383 in it with a 2 barrel that barely lets it run. No exhaust. Has some rust in the quarters and fenders but its pretty solid in the floors and stuff. Hasnt been licensed since 94. Ended up with 3 hoods, 5 doors, 3 trunks, few valence panels, 7 fenders or something insane. If he could find another 71/72 satellite shell there would be enough parts to put a another car together.
Every time look at one of these legit 70's or 80's builds is how nobody made wheels with backspace that made sense. This car has 295/50/15's on 15x10 cragars with like 3" BS. There is no joke 6 inches of gap between the inner frame rails and the tires. Could totally have put a 6" BS wheel in there and had it fit good but I guess the back end jacked up and tires sticking out the side looked good back then.
I'm sure I will get roped into helping on it this winter.
