i have a 78 macho, silver the real deal, but the beds rotten. if i swap the bed from a 79 and i paint it and stripe it is my truck still a macho or is it worthless? i really want a clean body but the bed is unuseable due the wheel wells |

It's better to save the truck even if it means swapping some sheet metal, even a complete bed. In the future, trucks with all of their original body parts, may bring a premium. But, it's more likely that the higher quality restorations will be worth more. For many trucks that means using the best parts you can find. it may be important to photo-document before you start and as you go, to be able to verify that it's and original Macho. Still a macho with a Better condition bed. Now to find a better Bed!!!! They are getting really scarce. |

the previous owners decided that to clear 35s on the red 79 dodge theyd weld square tubing to the frame and to the frame of the bed ![]() |
