Looks to have the correct push bar and steering wheel.

Turns out it is, I just bought it.







Just kidding, I cant afford to ship any more(lol). It defenitly looks like a top hand as you can see where the decal was on the fender, it's where it's rusty. Very cool find, and if it was closer I'd have it.

it is a top hand, and while it is and has a 4 inch lift and 33s, its not worth 1500 its been sitting too long you can see that, id pay 500 for it no more cause it doesnt run and the 400 would need rebuilt, and the tires are popped i see, so 31s would look goofy with a 4 inch lift, so bye bye lift until you get tires so then it becomes hunting for stock stuff, and bamo you have about 5 grand in it if you buy al brand new maybe more. and the rust or pain hasn been adressed and the stickers would have to be painted. i might be cheap but unless it runs or is in runnable condition, 500 for me no more.

I'd pay $1500 for it in a heart beat if it was next door to me.

That's a decent truck, that rust is pretty minimal. You know it can be had for less that 1500 already! That might have the spoke wheels on it too. I'd say that one is worthwhile for a truck collector, hey Sam!

I really like that's it's a bench seat ramcharger. It seems like the bench seat is kind of rare in any ramcharger.

Not really, it looks like a split folding bench like the club cab trucks had. In some ways it might be better because I am pretty sure you can get in from both sides instead of from the passenger only on the bucket seat version. I suppose with bucket seats you can crawl over the console from both sides but that is how mine got broke back in the day.

Yah, I think thats how most of them got broke. It seems like 80% of the pre 80's consoles I see have broke lids(lol). The split bench is really cool, and they do fold open on both sides. I had it in this ramcharger.
