The best thing to do is search the world wide web for "Rumble Bee" and you'll find lots of stuff to read.
There is a web site for these trucks at http://www.rumblebee.org/ and this place is great for information.
Also some members are selling their trucks too.

I'm one of the few people on this site who owns a 2004 Black Rumble Bee and these trucks were just an appearance package.
The 5.7 Hemi was the same HP as any truck manufactured during these years.

Good luck with your quest and I hope you find what you want.
They are a sweet looking rig!!

I have a dealer brochure on a Yellow Rumble Bee from around that era. I can dig it out and let you have a look if you want.

I have a 2004 black Rumble Bee, it's my daily driver.
She's #2929 (thus, my avatar name)
I'm also a member over at RumbleBee.Org (good folk there).

I havent seen a RB write-ups in any mags.  They're basically a Ram 1500 with the 5.7L Hemi, topped off with the ground effects and a non-functional hood scoop.

I added the Magnaflow exhaust, rear sway-bar, Super Chips, Edelbrock shocks, EBC brakes, and home made traction bars.
I love my truck.

Let me know what specific questions you have.
Ron

hi ron , i woul like to buy one as my daily driver aswell, but my problem is over here in new zealand or left hand drive law has just changed and the new requirments are a bit harder for late model trucks under 20 years old . what i need to prove is [ this is so i can keep the truck left hand drive] is
>under 20.000 units made
>2 door or convertible
>had to have fetured in a car mag
>be a special ltd edition and performance car
>and not been made i right hand drive
so i am doing all my home work to see if i have a case , because i dont want to convert one to right hand drive , that will just suck , anyway thanks alot for all the information cheers terry
