Hey, Tophand, glad to hear you are close. I ordered/bought the truck from Krumsich Motor Co., in Washington, Mo. They are out of business by now of course. Getting together would be great. I have six other cars muscle Mopars. Where are you located?

Options on my Macho are AC, PS, PB, tuff steering wheel, tinted glass, rear sliding window, AM radio, (later changed factory radio to AM/FM with 8 track player), a headliner, quad headlights, automatic transmission, skid plate, cruise control, optional mirrors. I tried to order the gauge package, which was an in dash tach, vacuum gauge, and volt gauge. This was available yet in 1979 models, it was discontinued on 1980 models. So the dealer ordered the gauges separate and after the truck came in, the dealer installed them. I also ordered the auxiliary gas tank. The factory would not build it with the aux tank because when you ordered that, the spare tire had to be factory mounted in the bed. They could not move the spare to the bed because of the macho roll bar, so I had to settle for the aux gas tank to not be installed in the factory. An auxiliary gas tank was installed after the truck came in. Immediately after I took delivery, I took off the yellow wheels and put on aluminum slots. The original spare is still laying in the bed and has never been mounted on the truck.

Tophand, you say you are located at Cape. I occasionally race at Sikeston drag strip, so I go past Cape on the way. I have a 197dodge Challenger race car. It currently runs 10.30s in quarter mile, 128 mph. Of course, Sikeston is only an 1/8 mile track though.

Palimono: it was called the Tuff Stering Wheel, but you are correct, it is the Omni type.

that is cool....
I pulled a wheel just like that off of an 80 macho in the jy about 5 years ago. Too bad it was totaled, it could have been a neat one, it was impact blue....and is in the picture section under sam...

by the way roger, do you have anymore pictures of your truck????
