I like the 100 mph one, not that I would ever like to drive a power wagon that fast!

8 track, you bet you got one, push in that black plate below the tuner dial!

yeah ive always thought the 100 mph one is better.and no sh*t? i have an 8 track? im gonna go see a min. duuude! thats awesome! ( yes im only 23 and im stoked about an 8 track player) thats awesome thats the upgraded radio i hope it works ive been spending more time trying to get her road worthy than figuring out wat it came with ill do all that after im able to drive it and i still gotta find a good spot to put an aftermarket cd player cause i want it to look as factory as possible so nothing gets broke or messed up. honestly ive always thought the factory dodge radios were cool looking for that time clean streamlined no unnessecary ( sorry cant spell atm) buttons or whistles and another thing the buzzer oh man i want that to work when you turn that key on normally its a bing bing bing and its annoying but that that buzzer sound is cool i believe they had that in the 80s as well. i want the dash lights to all work including the 4x4 loc lights under the radio. i prolly sound like a gitty school girl i know but idc power wagons are tough my grandfather had a brand new 77 and he ran her past 250 k miles but his odometer went out at 75,535 and my old camo truck i got in the guy sid it was over 200k but there sat the odometer at 75,535 and holy hell i just went outside and my macho has 279535k how many miles do your guys macho have?

Ya, I got a 100 mph speedometer in my macho, and let me say that it doesn't go high enough. When I bouhgt my truck last year, we had to drive it an hour and a half back, all highway. Most of the way we did like 90- 100 without even realizing it. I remember my dad stepping on the gas even more, and all he said was," Man, this things got alot of power."
