1979 Dodge RAM 50 Pickup User Reviews

The Most Indestructible Truck I Ever Owned. Bullet-proof 225 Slant-six — Not sure if it was a Ram 50 because the emblems fell off before I bought it for $100., It was a full size, 2WD plain-jane truck, 3-speed column shift converted to floor, 225 slant-six motor w/2bbl carb, no choke, geared like a riding lawnmower. Speedometer needle fell off but I think it would do about 70 tops with the engine screaming. It was the ugliest Sanford & Sons looking piece of junk on the road but no matter what I did to it as a 16 year old, it wouldn't break. We yanked down trees, used it to push a dumpster across a parking lot, had it on 2 wheels in the dirt, drove over about 50 parking blocks that were lined up parallel to each other. I had it about 3 or 4 feet off the ground going really fast over a set of railroad tracks and nothing broke except the battery fell and hit the fan blade. The truck is currently located at the bottom of a lake because the ice started cracking and we bailed out.
