Good choice Boons. Glad to see u found a decent ride. Is that 2wd gonna make around there up north though? :joker

Also, I probably wouldn't go through the trouble of dropping a cummins in it either. With all that rust I'd just drive it and save up for a different project for the diesel. :2cents

2wd Ramcharger has a bit more weight than the average pickup on the rear so it ought to do alright when the freezing stuff is on the roads. Tire chains can make up for some of what's missing not having a front drive axle, the only thing it will lack is ground clearance, and that will only be needed in the deep stuff.
