Just curious here, does anyone know if the Macho graphics package came in both orange and yellow? Some photos I see the Power Wagon lettering and stripes appear yellow, but on others (Mostly on yellow trucks) they appear more orange.

it is an odd thing, the color of the stripes according to ma-mopar is like an orangish-yellow color, and is only giving one part number for for the for the 79-80 trucks. IMO the orange trucks make the stripes and wheels look orange, where Last440's truck(my old truck) in Citron Green definately make the stripes and wheels look yellow. I think that it is the contrasting background color that makes the difference...

When you have the different ones together like that you can really see it. Thanks!
By the way, that Citron Green is really growing on me.

I really loved that citron green one, that red one is pretty cool as well. Never saw that picture before, really neat.
