I am new to this site and owning a dodge.(ive always been around chevys)I just got an 1988 Power Ram with a 318 a couple weeks ago and sadly it caught fire last week. Would it be easier to redo everything in the truck or put a new can on the frame? ( The wiring harness had to be cut and there was a hole burned in the dash) would post pics but dont know how. Thanks in advance.

really hard to say without picks but if you were going to swap cabs minus well just buy another truck and use this truck as a parts truck. the wiring harness on that thing would be w 4 year only harness so tracking one down can be a bit tricky sometimes.

Honestly, it might be easier to buy a parts truck or a truck that needs the good parts from the ram. It depends on how extensive and hot the fire was. The heat from the fire most likely warped panel as well.
