78 Cummins Powered Ramcharger Walkaround

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Enjoy this VERY long walkaround of our 78 Ramcharger. We spent over a year on this build, and so there is a LOT to talk about. After editing this video, we realize theres even more we could've talked about! We are very proud of this truck, and we hope you love it!
If you want to win it, and are watching this video between 10/9/23 and 11/6/23, you can enter to win by shopping on Hodsonmotors.com. Every $5 you spend on ANYTHING sitewide is 1 entry to win. We never do any ridiculous entry multipliers, so get in whenever you want/can!
If you're watching this after 11/6/23, we're probably giving away something else equally as cool!

    Costco sells very great and cost effective carports for about $250-$300. Just in case the winner was wondering.

    Love that shifter, built in anti-theft device. One change I would make, if I am the lucky winner, is to get the windows tinted because I live in Texas.

    I really wanted the Suburban build you guys did a number of months back. This build is even better though. This would become my daily and I’d probably throw a rooftop tent on there for some great family adventures.

    This build convinced me to buy the top teir monthly subscription. In my opinion I was really bummed you blacked out all the trim, but man it turned out really good looking. Way better than I expected. This truck is the one that's really putting you in a world class building category. Good luck everyone on the drawing!

    Like many others hoped to win the $20k giveaway to do my truck. I would have done diesel swap. If I won this, I would still be on fence about taking it or you guys finsihing my 1985 Grand Wagoneer! Don't get me wrong this Ramcharger is perfect!!!

  • @brandonpropterhoc
    @brandonpropterhoc6 ай бұрын

    how come you put the 12v in there and not the 4bt? the power aspect i take it? and what rendering software did you use? I also noticed you have 4x4 gear box on the right side of the transmission. if and when swapping over from a gas to diesel you wouldn't have swap the transfer case from right to left or left to right correct? you can keep it in its original configuration?

    Actually great! I thought it would need one, but I think the stiffer lift springs compensate. Didn't run a sway bar on any of the other 1 ton swaps we did and they did great too.

    Prize is valued at $65,00, but we give the winner $10k in cash to help cover taxes and shipping. Taxes should be right around 10k on it, and we hope the winner flies in to Las Vegas to drive it home, we pay for the flight.
