I've been wondering for a long time what a new Power Wagon would look like with the macho treatment.

Might be a little tough to do because the new Ram doesn't have the crisp lines of the '70s-'80 models, but it would be certainly be unique, and you definately wouldn't see another truck like yours everywhere you turned :D.
What do you think? maybe this truck with the Rick Simon '79-'80 Macho scheme? Do they even make a wercker bumper for the new Ram?

I almost bought one of those, and I think it would look nice with the macho treatment, but the hemi just doesn't cut the mileage that the cummins does IMO. I have a 07 2500 electric blue quad cab short bed 4wd with the PW wheel flares and PW alloy wheels on it. I love the look and functionality of the new PW, but not the 10MPG...

we need someone who could photo chop it with the graphics on it, and a nice F&R bumper on it too...

Other than the sticker price, the prohibitive thing about buying the new Power Wagon is the poor fuel milege. I guess it's a trade-off. If you need the off road qualities of the Power Wagon, the gear ratio is something you just have to live with. If buying a Dodge truck, I'd say the 2500 HD is a bettet selection for fuel milege. Also, On the Dodge site, the Power Wagon package doesn't appear to be available in a regular cab long bed any more. That's kind of a bummer. I guess the quad cab short boxes rule nowadays.

Found this shot of a 1995 Ram with the Macho treatment, sort of.

And this one of a '79-'80 in the mud.
