Junkyard Find: 1978 Dodge Ramcharger

In fact, this Royal SE '83 Ramcharger is the only example we've seen in this series, prior to today's find. This tan Dodge is every bit as Malaise-y as the yellow '76 Wagoneer we saw last month, so let's look at these photos and imagine what it was like driving a 9 MPG truck during a period of high inflation and steep gas prices.

An all-around family car!
