Hi everyone, i'm new to the board, this is my first post, i've owned a 79 Macho Power Wagon, (which i'm trying to buy back) and just acquired a 77 Dodge Pro Street truck, which is a Custom model, originally a 4 speed truck, now an auto, purchased and shipped from California to Alberta,Canada where i live, looking forward to getting to know you all. Heres a couple of pics of my 77

Thanks for the welcome!, under the hood lies a fairly stout 360, where once a 440 resided in the not so distant past, I used to have decent pics of my 79, but were lost in a flood, the guy I sold the truck to ripped it apart with the intentions of doing a full resto in it, but that was 7 years ago, so I'm trying to get it back, I'll round up some pics of the state it sits in now, so you can have a gander

Here is a few pics of my old 79 Macho Truck, wish i had'nt sold it, low km, being it was built for Canada, only 62,846, in miles that's 39,050, i was the second owner of the truck, i bought it in 2000, it looks rough because it's always sat outside in the weather, it's in it's original color and decals, the chrome rallye wheels are factory to the truck, so the original owner told me, there is a factory roll bar with it, low back bucket seats, with the buddy seat, it is an original 360 4 bbl, 4 speed, full time 4X4, the original engine was long gone by the time i purchased the truck. The first owner, in his young years, used it for mud bogging, and hunting, after he blew the motor, and replaced it with a warranty block, it was mainly used for commuting to work, and hunting in the fall for quite a few years, and had been parked for 10 years when i purchased it, hoping i can get it back for a full on resto, if not, i'll be looking for another this winter, i love the Dodge lifestyle trucks, and would like to eventually have all of those specialty models to restore and enjoy.

Some more of my shenanigan's, the dash pad after the entire interior was masked off, and painstakingly painted the correct color with 6 coats of vinyl paint, turned out pretty good i think!, just need to do the bottom half now.

I've also rebuilt the front end, with new ball joints, center link, new lowered springs, new rotors, brakes, master cylinders, new E brake cable, (which was gone), new tail lights, custom built bumper, with cool geen LED license plate lights, there was no neutral safety switch, no reverse switch, which i replaced as well, among many other things...i've been a busy boy since February!..lol!, good thing i got it cheap
