charger 4X4 snow plow

[craigandlynda]

well, here it is....tucked away in the woods near the canadian border in northern minnesota, this has got to be a one-of-a-kind....the 1970 charger SE body fit right over top of the blazer chassis, and was nicely accessorized by the proud owner...(i especially like the spotlites)...he uses it every winter to plow his half mile driveway, and he says, " i also plow dirt with it..."

they say a pic is worth a thousand words. as we say up here, "OOF-DA".

under the charger hood, the chevy 350 is so neatly plumbed, with great attention to detail...no expense was spared in prepping this engine bay; it's truly ready for show..... i mean, snow!

[68rt]

why why why could used a ramcharger frame

[pettyfan43]

What a WASTE of a once proud car.

Idiot.

[69*F5*SE]

Those rear window louvers are pretty cool 

[moparstuart]

  thats cool , thats the car I asked you about that i saw in like 1984 when i was up there on a scout canoe trip thats so cool >

   Thanks for posting picutres

[rt green]

that is just so wrong on so many levels. thanks, now i need therapy

[craigandlynda]

wow....mixed opinions....didn't see that coming

[craigandlynda]

moparstuart, where are you from? when you saw it in 1984, was it in town? driving? it has been a one owner since its transformation

[WingCharger]

That is cool in several ways, but wrong in so many more. 

If I came across a Charger that had extreme lower end damage, or just no drivetrain, and body cancer, it would be cool to do.

BUT FOR GOD SAKES MAN, KEEP IT MOPAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That 350 destroyed that cars once proud MoPar heritage. If I ever did do something like this, I would probably do it a little cleaner, but hey, the car is pretty cool.

I would maybe drop in a cummins, dual rear wheels, add a bed.......


Any more pictures of 4X4 Chargers, I hate to say it, but I have actually started thinkin how I would do this. 

[DodgeChargerNeeded]

Did anyone notice the tic toc tach?

[craigandlynda]

yup, and he got the tach working....next to the door opening see 3 red wires...next to them on end of dash is pair of brass clips....thats his flashlight holder

[JimShine]

I would rather see that than its rotted sunbframes sitting in a field, or tubbed into a drag car.

[Mike DC]

 
Yeah.  When those things show up on Ebay, people should look twice before laughing them off. 

If the builder didn't hack the unibody to bits during the install, then the subframes & floors are probably in a lot better shape than if it had stayed on the ground. 

 

[BigBlockSam]

hey

i was diggin the car or 4x4, what ever, diggin the captains chairs . 

but man! a cheby mill . not cool   

[Steve P.]

I would rather see that than its rotted sunbframes sitting in a field, or tubbed into a drag car.

I'd rather see it tubbed and drag racing than being used as a plow truck. Even if it were on a Mopar frame...

[JimShine]

No love for drag cars here.

Is it just me or does it appear that the roof has been cut for T tops?

[tan top]

     .....  not a good plan to use a chebby motor in a Mopar just all wrong        ..each to their own  though 
intresting pictures  thanks for sharing   

[moparstuart]

moparstuart, where are you from? when you saw it in 1984, was it in town? driving? it has been a one owner since its transformation

yes it was sitting in town , we had just came back from on the water and were headed for pizzza hut for real food

[WingCharger]

If I ever did this, I would try to get the wheels/tires a little more into the wells. I dont like how high it sits off the frame.

I would remove: Spoiler, Louvers, the 8 aftermarket gauges inside (What the hell do yoou need that many gauges for??),the strange shifter stiking out between the console and carpet, the T-Top, the side pipes, and the chevy-shit 350.

[craigandlynda]

another pic...the whole charger body and subframes, as a single unit, was just lowered onto the blazer chassis, sittining on top of, and about 1 inch outboard, of the blazer frame...the charger frame rails and floors intact....notice the double shocks, both are attached to the chevy axle somehow...rubber isolator mounts between the two subframes...the pinstriping was a nice touch, definitely added some class..

[WingCharger]

Always wondered what a Charger style El Camino would look like.

[six-tee-nine]

You did shoot the guy, right???

[craigandlynda]

no but i thought about trying to buy it

[WingCharger]

no but i thought about trying to buy it

From what I have read on here, if he has had it since '84, I doubt he would be willing to sell it.

[472 R/T SE]

These rigs with different brand motors in between the fender wells was a more common occurance back in the day.  Just like folks putting different kinds of brands on 4 x 4 frames. 
All from back in the days when we didn't have a care in the world. 

[Finn]

Those rear window louvers are pretty cool 

agreed

[Silver R/T]

Thought this would be a good thread to post this awesome picture I found on the internet:



It would be cool to do this, and it wouldnt as much work as you would think. I am actually planning on what it would take to do this too. It wouldnt requrie frame extension, or major rear end change.

Sorry to steal the thread!

Chargamino?

I liked it, until I saw the 350 sbc.  Why, oh WHY would you put such a worthless engine in a Charger?  Especially when big block Mopars aren't that difficult to find, and much easier to install.

Considering the frame was that of a Chevy Blazer I figure he just replaced one body with another....

[OldGuy]

Looks like the guy couldn't figure out which end the stripes went on - so he striped both the front and rear

[craigandlynda]

the owner of this fine creation stopped by our shop just now, and i showed him the pics and the interesting comments about his custom .....charger/plow....when i told him people were reacting, he said "some would probably like to shoot me..."   but he's not really upset...anyway, further inetresting details....the rear spoiler is a factory original 1971 charger spoiler, he bought a complete wrecked car to get the spoiler...and the roof has an even more interesting tale....he was going t o cut off the whole roof, make a topless model out of it...but got started, and came across and even rarer part...the front portion of the roof is the glass roof from a 1956 ford suncruiser, or some such model...

I kinda like it. You didn't happen to get a shot of the VIN number or fender tag, did ya?

[aussiemuscle]

someone did this in australia to a XB Ford Falcon coupe (quite valuable car now). When he had it selling on ebay someone commented that it was a sacralige, etc and his response was "well i'm sorry i didn't build MY car the way YOU wanted"
