The best Dodge growing up was my friends '78 Ramcharger with a built 440; that thing was a heart pounding terror!!! I regret to this day that I didn't buy it from him when he sold it. I will probably build a 70s Ramcharger or Power Wagon someday (with a 440 of course.) I had a lot of '70 Chevy's through the years. I have a couple of 70's K5s now that I am building for the trails. My sister still has the '69 Chevy 1 ton 4x4 that my dad bought new, which I will take over at some point and build it.
One of the first vehicles I can remember my Dad owning from childhood was an orange 4x4 Power Wagon, Prospector I think was the badging. My first vehicle as a teenager was a 78' K5 Blazer, that thing seemed unstoppable in the mud and snow, I drove that thing hard and it never failed me.
