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.
This reminds me of "the nacho" from ramcharger central
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.
What a beautiful truck that will now go a million miles.
I made a 78 dully trailduster. 17.5" super singles,410 gears, Dana 60 and 40.
Amazing. Whoever gets this awesome truck Is going to be really happy !! Great job !!
Very nice Truck with an adorable engine
That has to be one of my favorite builds, my order has been placed. Good Luck Everyone!!
You guys really outdid yourselves on this one. It looks awesome.
Thank u for giving so much info about that amazing rig 👍🏼 man what a fantastic job nice guys nice 🛠
i could only find two gripes on this. 1 harborfreight steel cable is trash. i wish yall would have gone for synthetic cable. 2 it needs window tint! othert than that i thinks its absolutely perfect! i cant wait to drive it back to east TX and take my kids for a ride!
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.

I think this is the ultimate adventure truck!
Awesome Cummins build 🇺🇸, I will buy something to get entered. I love the interior, super clean wiring, color and of course the Cummins, DANA 60s, NV4500 and twin stick NP205
Sweet build! I'm sure the one that wins it will love it! 👍👍
Oh boy this truck has me feeling a certain kind of way! Best truck yet
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!

@@nefarious559If I win it, I'd be tempted to return it to the original bright work.
America 🇺🇸💪🏼
amazing. -edit kind of a bummer the spare tire covers up half that cool decal, still super cool though.
Fantastic truck😍👍💪
Beautiful build love to have that in my driveway
Love ramcharger's and this one is awesome who ever wins gets a sweet ride!
Cool ride
This truck came out incredible, killer killer job
Amazing guys, absoluteley a beauty. Im going to be crossing my fingers til the end.
This would look awesome next to my 12 valve swapped 1978 Bronco. Even the colors are similar 😁
Awesome build!
So so clean!!!
Want it. Had a built 79 ramcharger. Miss it
freaking Dream Rig.. Just entered! Thanks Guys! Awesome Build.
This is awesome!
I LOVE IT! Very GOOD JOB 👏 👏👏
She is gorgeous 😮😮😮❤❤❤❤
Pretty cool
I can’t wait to drive it home 😉
Literally my dream truck 😭
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!!!
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?
Wow Nice !
Any tips on putting the cummins in a Ramcharger?
NEED!!!
Any chance we could get some details on the power step install?
She's Mint!
SICK RIG Whoever wins this bad m*********** is one lucky PERSON HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE ME
If I bring my 1987 ram charger to you from Canada. Would you build me something close to that?
What is the actual lift kit size?
Entered!!
this is my dream vehicle, i pray i win it
Lot of work went into this thing! How does the stability feel without a front sway bar?

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.
I'm from canada...how can i enter your contests?...sitting here all thirsty

You can enter! It's just your responsibility to ship and import it to Canada.
How tall is the truck? Hoping it will fit in my garage. I’m over trying to estimate a measure when he stands next to it 😅

I wonder what the Federal Taxes would be owed on this to the winner (?)...

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.

You need to learn to down shift when driving a Cummins
