Stopped at the Nats on my way to pick up the 81.

(or was it the other way around?)

Anyway, this small block showed up.
Not a bad looking truck, and seemed
fair priced. I was told 2nd day it was sold
but don't know. It was from the Carolinas.

Also saw this 80 Macho. Original Red truck.

Very nice looking truck and new owner said

they got a really good deal. Hopefully they

will join the crew here.

This was really cool too.

The owner had a Walker Evans

Pre Runner stripe kit, (from Mopar)

and wanted to make a tribute truck.

Nicely done and well built.

The bar was salvaged from a Macho

in a bone yard, and had the welds

cleaned up and filled. Looked great.

that is a NICE ONE!!!

i saw the macho on the trailer, didnt look at it up close. i missed the walker evans trucks, that is BAD!

[nitpicky mode] Very neat trucks, but Walker Evan ran Class 8 TWO wheel drive trucks...Rod Hall ran Class 4 4wd's...

But still, very neat trucks!

So where was the mopar NATS? Is it always in the same place and time of year? What time of year is it.

This was the 30th

Though it started out elsewhere.

Great show and great swap.

I bagged some cool NOS

and some even Cooler dealer lit.

Including a list of Macho Colors for 78

That includes light tan.

One had popped up but not totally

confirmed.

Light Tan had to be the rarest 78

macho Color. The question remains,

could you special Order a Macho in

a non standard color?

I sold Dodge's through this era, we special order non factory colors etc but Machos were only the few colors specified

well, i ve been busy working on a 72 demon poject, but i m here now. i m the owner of the blue 80 macho from the nats. i ve been meaning to get on here, but have been super busy this last year. i wish i would have been around when you were lookin at the truck. my wife said you were super nice and knowledgeable LAST440. anyways...we ll be there again this year with the macho.
