There is a 1988 RC in the Pick and Pull yard in Rocklin. The body isn't in the greatest shape and whoever owned it last cut the back half of the roof off. I does have the factory roll bar and was complete mechanically (including the 318 Cali smogged engine) yesterday 2-20-07.

Next to the RC at the Pick and Pull yard in Rocklin is a '78 Powerwagon with a shortbed and a rollbar. Both the RC and the PW a complete for the most part as of today.

There is a late 80's (88 thru 90 grill) 3/4 ton 4x4 pick-up parked out in front of the Pick and Pull yard in Rocklin where they park vehicles that are either going to be sold as rebuilders or parted out. It's a white standard cab long bed that looks completly stock. From what I could see driving by, (I didn't have time to stop and check it out) the body was a little rough like it was used as a work truck. But it did not look like it had ever been wrecked. It also appeared to be complete right down to the hubcaps.

Saw an interesting '75 (abt) Dodge 200 Sport Van in the Pick&Pull Sunrise American Rancho Cordova lot 9/25/08.
The Van had a factory (aftermarket manufactured) 4X4 system. Appears the AMM installed Ford Truck suspension links to the Ford 60 type front differential. They used the Dodge Van 200 springs, frame and added the radius assembly from Ford on  to the frame and suspension.

Here's a nice one!!! Found it on Craigs list under dodge parts. Here's the email I received from the Auto Yard Man 10/07/2008;

Buddys Auto Center [buddysautocenter@wildblue.net] (Willow Creek, Northern California. Little town near Humbolt County in the mountains)
..........
I can sell the Ramcharger for $1500. I think I have a junk slip on it so you'll have to get a brake and light check, but other than that its the same as lien papers. It doesn't have a battery, so I know it doesn't run now, but I don't know what else is wrong with it. It belonged to an old guy who died and it sat in his yard for a couple years. Since it has belonged to us, we haven't sold any parts off of it though.

Check out the Roll Bar, Rear Tire Carrier........ Macho4x4Warlock

'76 DODGE W100 Sport model, Red in color. Factory Big Block, auto trans with factory trans cooler. 95% parts still on truck. Engine carb off, but four barrel ports covered with tape by old owner. I would think the engine still runs. Nevada truck, no rust. Short wheel base Sweptline Box. Driver's door has big dent & front grill is damaged slightly (non repairable). All other sheet metal good shape. Deluxe Interior door panels in great shape. Factory rear window slider in great shape with glass.
Saw 10/16/08 at Pick & Pull, Rocklin, California Yard. The inventory does not last long at this yard. One to two week turn over and it's crushed.

They do sell near complete vehicles. But once they are in the yard and lined up , It's very hard to remove the vehicle from the line. Unless it's at the front of the line by the access alley. Most of the yards are run by Hispanics. They are very difficult to work with. They have the bosses rules and do not bend. I don't speak spanish so it's very are to deal with them........................But, this Ramcharger is in one of the newist yards to convert to a Pick&Pull. The yard was owned for many years by a local White Guy. So it looks to me like the yard has retained some of the old white workers, and they appear to be some sort of supervisors. Here's the Yard phone numbers, Ask for the supervisor. It's the only White '79 Ramcharger in the yard.
#Phone 1:916-721-4040...................................Good luck with your quest!
Phone 2:800-442-5865
Fax:916-725-0321
P.S> I just checked their inventory for the '79 Ramcharger and it appears to be gone. But it may be listed some other way. There is a '79 150 came in 6/27/11. So the line may have been removed where the ramcharger was.
