Symptoms
Bubbles in the rear wheel arches and rockers, soft floors, a wet driver's door sill after rain, or a radiator support crumbling at the bottom.
The fix, step by step
- Cut out back to clean metal and butt-weld in repair sections, then seam-seal and coat the inside.
- One Ramcharger Central member traced a wet door sill to an open body seam just below the driver's window and cured it with body seal compound.
- Another patched a rotted lower core support with a screwed-on aluminum strip.
- Mill Supply lists 27 repair parts for 1974–80 Ramchargers, including quarter panel, bed-floor and rocker sections.
