Bill,
I agree on the RV grind cam.. You don't need screaming rpm.. just
better torque, and that's what those grinds are designed for. Pulling &
towing. A 318 will pull well (not heavy loads quickly through the
mountains) if properly equipted.. Dodge was putting 318's in everything up
to the 5T trucks at one time. Enjoy it, use your head putting it
together, and it'll treat you well.
As for the parts truck, I may be interested in the door panels and power
windows for my RamCharger. Was the donor truck a 4WD or 2WD? If it was 4WD
I may also be interested in the front springs as well.
