rear window, long bed and older bedlinerFactory, period-specific
steel wagon wheels Do you remember the ?80s CBS crime show ?Simon
and Simon?? Ever long for the Dodge Power Wagon Rick Simon (actor
Gerald McRaney) drove? We have a similar version at MotoeXotica
Classic Cars. These Ram trucks are increasingly tough to find, and
can now be considered a rare, collectible vintage pick up truck.
This color contrast makes the MACHO Ram truck stick out like chest
hair from a late 1970s leisure suit. You don?t need to grunt, your
vintage truck will do it for you! By the late 1970s, the pickup
truck market had done a complete U-turn from its original duties as
farm and work truck to becoming personal lifestyle vehicles, as
were their companion customized vans. Nowhere was that more evident
than in Dodge?s line of ?Adult Toys? trucks and vans, one of which
was this 1979 Macho Power Wagon 150 4x4 Longbed. Made in Chrysler?s
Warren Truck Plant #1, in Warren, Michigan, this example is
finished in white (code PY1417) with the appropriate Power Wagon
graphics, stripes and factory, period-specific steel wagon wheels.
With yellow decal stripes, Macho packages offered eight special
body colors, as well as black low-gloss hood, cab roof and lower
body panels. The truck?s paint and trim are in overall very good
order. The truck?s conventional cab and Sweptline bed is straight
and solid though it lacks the bed-mounted factory roll bar. The
chrome front bumper, with its matching overrider and a contrasting
black, corrugated metal step bumper, are in very good shape. The
engine bay is very tidy and the Super Start battery appears new.
Out back is an older but very serviceable bedliner with
corresponding graphics on the tailgate and there?s also a sliding
rear window. The truck has a 131-inch wheelbase and a GVWR between
6,001 and 8,500 pounds. This Macho truck rolls on Prime Well PA100
light truck tires, size 31x10.50R15 at every corner. The tires are
in very good order, with deep treads while the factory, steel wagon
wheels evoke that ?70s look and are finished in an eye-catching
orange and look great. Under the hood is Chrysler?s venerable 318
CID V-8 (VIN code E) engine breathing via dual exhausts, mated to
Chrysler?s even more stalwart TorqueFlite three-speed automatic
transmission mounted on the steering column. There?s also a
two-speed transfer case with locking settings. Driver convenience
features include air-conditioning, power steering and power brakes.
The air conditioning is complete and functions but does not blow
cold. Inside, the black interior with white trim is in mostly very
good condition. The black vinyl bench seat and matching carpet look
great. The white headliner and three-spoke steering wheel are in
satisfactory shape, as are the inner door liners. The instrument
panel with its full array of gauges look great, including a Pro
Racing tachometer. Completing the interior is a Craig AM/FM stereo
with cassette deck. For 1979, Dodge?s full-size pickup trucks
gained a new front-end appearance ? new hood, cowl top panel,
grille and quad headlights on top-line models. Competition to this
Dodge in 1979 included Chevrolet?s K10 half-ton, Ford?s ?Free
Wheeling? half-ton, GMC?s K10 half-ton and Jeep?s ?Honcho? J10
half-ton truck. If you?re looking for a Disco Era pickup truck that
