i picked this truck up last year from tennessee. it was originally red. it runs great and everything works. 360. i had a 04 hemi ram and once i realized that all the problems i was having with it weren t covered under its warranty....i ditched it and started hunting for an old dodge 4x4. it didn t take long to find this. i got a good deal on it and it has a really nice paint job on it. all its original metal it looks like. i pulled the center console out of it and built a middle seat for it so my son could ride along. i plan on putting some decals on it this week. hopefully i get them in time for the mopar nats. eventually i will restore it to original, but it looks really good for now. so i m gonna enjoy it. i don t think the engine bay has ever been repainted. it has a white #99 on the top of the core support. anybody have any idea what that means? forgive me if my pictures suck... i m new to this site and computer stupid.

Welcome to the site, and neat macho. 80 machos are always cool to see as you dont see many of them.

do you have the VIN and MDH for it, they are on the door jamb area on the drivers side. I also have an 80 macho...work in progress..mine is a yellow one with the black buckets and console.

make: DODGE model: W10
vin:W14JTAS110119

and the hand painted white #99 on the core support by the radiator. any idea what that s all about? what can you decode by the numbers i ve given?

PALIMINO- i like the yellow painted ones. should look like the brochure truck when it s done huh?

yep, mine should look like the yellow one on the broshure....

The MDH info doesn't look right...
MDH= Month Day Hour truck was made...

those are the 2 tags off the truck. one is in the door jamb and the other is under the hood half way under the grille.
GOT MY STRIPES ON TONIGHT. they look sweet. i didn t go full out macho, just cause the paint job is so nice and i didn t wanna cover it up with all the black. it already isn t the right color, so i figured i d make it the way i thought it would look good. it looks awesome. i will post pics as soon as i can. we ll be at the mopar nats if anyone wants to stop in and say hey. u wont miss it.

Did you go with the 79 80 style stripes? Are you sure I cant talk you into painting the black out treatment on it(lol). Tried to find a blue 79 80 macho powerwagon and the only thing I can find that's even close is a 2wd ramcharger I did up like one.

i had them made. only cost me 60 bucks. beats the hell out of the stripe kits for the price. they re not what was on it, originally, but i think they re just right for now. till the paint gets old and tired and i run out of projects. which probably won t be for a long time.

looks good....
how far of a drive do you have, those are some older looking tires...
wish they still made those older style duelers...

couple hour drive. they are older tires, but they re in great shape. just a little dirty.
