The Challenger wagon I bought and redone it. But it was converted to a wagon in 1973 so it was just a beat used car and worthless. I just think it is way too cool to convert back even though its probaly worth more that way. It would be like everyone elses then and I like to be different. The 4x4 69 R/T I did myself but same story guy had the nice car his grandfather bought new and left him in 1979 and he was selling the engine 4sp and dana to someone for a drag car. and he was hauling the body off for scrap because it was worthless then. So I bought body only for $25.00 in 1980[Wish now I would have bought complete Nice car for $500.00 but I told him he was crazy for that price. As soon as I got it home we rolled the body off my rusty 77 dodge truck and put the charger on there just to run through the woods and mud but later I fixed it back up and have always loved this car ever since then. It has way over 400.000 miles on it since its been a 4x4 it has been everywhere and it was the only car I drove from 1984 to 1987 and my wife drove it every day from 87 till 93. it is on its 5th motor and 3rd trans but it will run forever if I can help it.
I was wondering how hard it was to convert the steering of the truck over to the Charger when you switched the body. How did you attach the body on the frame (bolt-on, weld-on, etc.)? Also did you have to shorten the truck frame at all, or did you just get lucky?
I am debating on doing this to a 70 Dart body that's collecting leaves in the back yard.
Thanks
