Greetings from the Houston area! Long-time lurker here, I've been a Macho Power Wagon fan since the beginning of Simon & Simon. I'm currently doing without a 4x4 (for now) but I've been dreaming of building both versions of Rick Simon's truck (manual and auto) for well over 20 years now.

I've been a commercial driver running day routes for 16 plus years, including a 7 year stint in Chicago hauling US Mail, 6 years in Houston hauling Budweiser beer, and now 3 years for CVS Pharmacy Distribution. I grew up in a small farm town and was driving trucks to the grain elevator when I was 14.

My 4wd history (most recent first)
'85 Jeep Grand Wagoneer (traded 2 r/c cars for it)
'98 Jeep Grand Cherokee
'95 Ford F-250 (Plow truck)
'86 Chevy K-10
'83 Dodge Ramcharger

I've had several 2wd trucks along the way and currently own an '05 GMC 1500 (wife's DD) and a '98 Dodge Neon that has seen more offroad time than most Jeeps you see on the roads today. I bought the Neon new in December '07 and it currently has 252+K on the odometer.

I'm really into old-school offroad racing and was a big fan of Walker Evans and Rod Hall during their Dodge days. I have a lot of offroad racing photos on my Myspace page www.myspace.com/petefromhouston

Thanks for creating this site and to those who have provided me so much info on my favorite Dodges of all!

Hey I'm new here ... though I've lurked for quite awhile.
I've always been a Mopar man. My Grandfather was a Mopar man and my father always had Dodge trucks... couple that with the Dukes of Hazzard from when I was a kid and well yeah it's a sickness.
Being a country boy, I've owned mostly trucks but I do have 2 of the mid 80's Turbo Dodges and am currantley hunting for a truck again.
Partial list of the cars I've owned:
68 Dodge Charger- built 360 with Edelbrock intake and Holley High rise carb.
88 Dodge Daytona- 2.5 auto t-tops
84 Dodge Ram 100- /6; granny 4 short box (best vehicle I've ever owned bought it for $700 cash from the local Chrysler dealer and ran this forever until everything was rusted off)
83 Power Ram- 360 4spd short box (this thing was jacked up with huge tires when I bought it with intentions of a good farm truck...it had crappy electrical issues and I sold it. I still see it occassionally)
90 Power Ram- 318 auto full size I bought this for a really good deal and did some body work on it to turn a profit never ran it on the road
78 ? Power Wagon- 318 auto short box citron green (may have been a Macho...didn't know what a Macho was when I had this... had a roll bar and had 2 sets of the yellow wagon wheels with the black pinstripes) (The tranny burnt up after I owned it maybe 3 months and I sold it to a local logger... he ran it awhile...I saw it in the local pick and pull 2 years ago beat to crap...whipes tear away)
93 Dodge Dakota Sport- 4x4 5-spd edelebrock intake and headers, MSD ignition
90 Dodge Dakota- 4x4 5 spd
85 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z- 2.2 turbo, 5-spd, t-tops, all power, all leather
88 Dodge Daytona Shelby- 2.2 intercooled turbo, 5-spd, T-tops, all power, all leather

I miss driving a truck and am going back into farming so I really need one anyway... looking for a 4x4 manual tranny preferably short box... going to eventually clone the elusive 81 Macho...though I'm thinking gold wheels and stripe instead of orange.

Love the sight and the info !
