"So this is Beverly Hills, son. Guess I'll get used to it. A rodeo and the best hotel is pink! I'm checking in, they're checking out, and my machine is standing out. What's the matter with y'all, ain't you ever seen a truck? Beverly Hills truck, a hero has arrived, the new Dodge truck, starring in their eyes!" Lyrics from a 1986 Dodge Ram commercial showing a cowboy and his Power Ram roaming amongst Cadillacs and Jaguars in Beverly Hills.

Exterior
Dripping with strength, this tall truck is fronted by a finely detailed and aggressive ram hood ornament that surges forward, putting an exclamation point on the lane clearing attitude of the truck itself. Gold paint is sandwiched by black, both in two stage application and perfectly matched to the 15-inch wheels carrying massive 35x12.50R15 tires.Lots of chrome out front where single headlights over marker lights top the big and high bumper while out back, a brushed aluminum dress plate caps the tailgate over another impressive chrome bumper. Step ups dot the rocker panels and are a welcome convenience as are the handles on the C-pillar. The padded, vinyl tonneau cover is in great shape and the bed is glossy black and covered with a fitted cloth mat. We found no exterior imperfections on this 4x4!

Interior
Tan plastic door cards are accented with dark woodgrain inserts over a carpeted panel below and both doors present in very good condition, opening up to the cloth bench seat that also is clean. A black steering wheel shares the column with a tachometer just in front of a woodgrain faced instrument cluster, A/C panel, drivetrain indicator, and AM/FM/cassette radio and it's all fantastically clean. A triple gauge pod has been added below and the tan plastic dash is immaculate and so is the tan carpet that covers the floor where a range selector stands tall in a black shift boot. The camel headliner is just about flawless and our rear window is a solid one.

Drivetrain
Ready for show and go, we have a 360ci V8 with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor over an Edelbrock intake manifold, sporting 8.2:1 compression, and a cam with 264i/274i duration. It's mated to an A727 Torqueflite 3-speed automatic transmission sending power to the rear 9.25 axle and as needed, the Dana 44 up front. With a few Mopar branded covers, the engine and bay present show worthy clean!

Undercarriage
Thanks to gold shock absorbers, the black and gold motif continues on the clean underside where dual exhaust finds FlowMaster mufflers and exit via chrome tips. There are no catalytic converters on board. Power disc brakes are up front with power drums on the back and leaf springs are employed front and rear on this factory 4x4.

Drive-Ability
Hamstrings be damned, we're climbing up! It's quite a height too, from which you can see the road ahead of you and the contents of the car next to you. Meanwhile, the engine comes to life with a very healthy exhaust note and we row this truck to Drive and onto the loop where it demonstrates respectable power and straight tracking. Sure, the knobby tires are going to make some noise on the asphalt, but we expected that and at slow speeds, it mostly disappears. The A/C is not working but all other functions on board work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

Clean, well sorted and relatively uncommon, this Power Ram is going to be a hot commodity so we encourage you to make like a bighorn sheep and not let anything get in your way of calling the mall with interest. This capable truck is pure mid-80's Americana at its best and this clean example will be as comfortable as a car show in Beverly Hill as it will be in the hills of Arkansas. No matter where you live, this classic will stand out.
