I am new to this site, and newish to dodge trucks, but I know enough to get me by. I thought I would start a thread about the long forgotten machos out there in the world that might be hiding in junkyards, fields, the brush, or perhaps even your own yard. I myself have two of them that are too far gone to restore as machos (and the core tags are missing so there is no real proof) I will share them here.

Image

This is a '78 400 BB truck that was originally sunrise orange. The cab is shot, as are the fenders and the doors are pretty ate up too. At some point the bed has been replaced, but atleast someone was smart enough to put the rollbar back in it. It also has all four of it's original wheels, but no tuff steering wheel.

This second truck looks a lot like the first one, but it is a '77 360 truck that is far worse off than the first. I basically bought it just for the power steering box. The bed has been replaced, the drivers door is from a '73, and I have sold the tattered bucket seats and the rest of the interior.



I also have the original wheels for it, but they are in rough condition, and this truck is also lacking the tuff wheel.

This truck was red at one point in time.

Image

I had a better macho a while back, but I sold it and it went to kansas, so it doesn't deserve to be here, but I will post it anyway.

Image

The ironic part of this, is that all three of these trucks spent part of their life in Virginia. So do you have any photos of old decrepid machos? If so post them here.

I am over on the east cost in West Virginia. The two black trucks both came to me out of Virginia. The silver truck I had was located here, but the guy I got it from (the third owner) bought it from the son of the guy who bought it new in North Carolina, and then moved to Virginia. If anyone needs more pictures for whatever reason, just let me know.
