"New" 1989 Ram 250 Custom Manuals/Parts?

jessedowns · #1 07-01-2008, 09:31 AM

I just bought a 1989 Ram 250 (custom van) by L.E.R. Industries. I will be looking for several parts, mostly smaller ones, and I was wondering if L.E.R. was still in business? First however, I would like to find an owner's manual for the Dodge and any manuals that L.E.R. may have put out. Does anyone know of any websites where I could find these manuals and/or parts? I have tried Ebay and Amazon with no luck. Thanks!

My research on LER has led me to belive that they went out of business back in 1995.
My 1994 B350 was also converted by them, but I am thinking about doing a total refit here in the UK.
I do not think they LER supplied any manuals regarding the conversion.
The Haynes Dodge & Plymouth 1971-1996 no.30065(349) should be ok for servicing the van.

I have found two owners manuals and other things for my car and van on E-bay. I would try typing your vans model and year and maybe the L.E.R. conversion and see what comes up. I have found that going back every few days finds new things that you may not be aware of or just what you are looking for.

Rather than wasting your time searching, setup a saved search and let ebay mail you when something comes in. Just make sure your search is specific enough (use advanced) to get rid of the cruft.

If you want a basic Users manual, the other thought is to visit a yard and see if you can find one in a glove box. The similar years are late 1987 until early 1992.

As ThaiUK mentioned the Haynes is fairly complete. If you need something electrical the years after 1983 are are based on the 83 schematic, with the changes noted on the pages for that year. Many parts also exchange with the same year dodge trucks.

Back in the mid 90's many of the conversion van compaines went belly up and closed their doors. A company called CPC purchased many of these conversion van compaines after banckruptcy liquidation. CPC owns a majority of the OEM tooling, OEM warehouse parts and is located in one of the originating conversion van makers old headquarters. CPC has even retained some of the labor force al being in Indiana.
