I love it!! I have a soft spot for ram chargers and square body 1st gen rams. My first ram was a 85 as well it was my everyday driver for over 10 years. I loved that truck. I actually found it on Facebook marketplace for sale lol they are asking 4 times as much as I sold it for 7 years ago lol
Nice find I look forward to seeing more about it!

• confirmed it goes into 4x4.
• wants to fuss and fight to move... motor runs fine at idle, revs "decent" in park, but coughs and gags when trying to go.
• ignition timing was so far advanced, couldn't find the mark. I set it at 12* BTC initial just for a base. Vacuum advance is hooked up, not confirmed it works.
  
• I changed oil, put 5w-30 with zinc for the winter. confirmed it said 318 on the block when I was under there.
• Switched some backwards vacuum hoses around. Noticed no ECU... LOL ????? Maybe they went to points????????
• It has a new mini starter on it :) water pump has been changed at some point too
  
• Heat works, wipers don't
