Lots of great pics there. At first glance in your other post, I even thought it was a M1009 CUCV<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_blush.gif" alt="Blush">. Looks good, I bet you could bolt up a set of CUCV bumpers without too much difficulty. Keep up the good work.

if you were going to use it as a daily-driver and no towing/a slant 6 would be nice/ i had one in a 150 /smooth as butter and quiet as a honda

Actually they did...kinda...I have a book somewhere around with a bunch of photos of the one that Dodge built when uncle sam was getting bids on the CUCVs, there's even pics of a Bronco CUCV!

I guess your site is down....all I see is a red "X". Looking forward to seeing your creation! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_cool.gif" alt="Cool">
You're not alone in wanting a "military" Ramcharger, though. Two years ago, I bought a '79 Dodge Ramcharger with a 360/727 combo. I went out and bought a blackout light from a Dodge M-880, rifle mounts and a brand new CUCV antenna base with the trapizoid-shaped brush guard. Never did get around to doing the conversion.....
......anyone wanna buy a Ramcharger??? LOL

How's this for an idea: a `77 Ramcharger (same year as the M880) with a `94 - `98 12 valve Cummins turbo Diesel (w/intercooler) and an NV4500 manual five speed tranny, mounted up to the stock NP203 transfer case and Dana 60 axles front and rear. Of course some modifications would have to be performed to get it to work, such as shortened drive shafts, redrilled bolt pattern on the 203 case, `91-`93 Cummins motor mounts, swapped over clutch and brake pedals, etc. It would be the ultimate Dodge CUCV!! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve">

A friend just got done putting a 12 valve in a M880 wasn't bad, but the suspension on the M880 sure needed some help. I helped out as much as I could in my spare time.
We also put a 12 valve in a '78 F350 4x4 which was so easy I couldn't believe it. As another side project I have an '86 F350 crewcab 4x4 that I'm putting a 24 valve into.

id just skip the 203 its kinda of a boat anchor, go for a 205
