The Editor just emailed me and said they are putting together

an article on rare dodge truck packages.

I sent a bunch of info and pics from our files on

Rod Halls, Warlocks, and of course, MACHO Power Wagons.

Can't wait to see the article. The guy that's doing it definitely

speaks our language. He's built some awsome 4Xs and currently

has an amazing survivor 70s Dodge Show Van.

Oh Jeeeez!

I need to send him

a link to our 81 Macho thread with the magazine article

(From Popular Mechanics !! ((June 1981 the silver longbox)) )

When the 77 Macho came there was/were an article/s on the the macho which bred excitement for the product. It was a right truck @ the right time

I like the list, but considering the range of years and general

qualifications should have been 20 trucks.

Little Red deserved a space for sure.

Guess he couldn't make it all Dodge.

He should have fact checked first too.

funny comments by people wanting their Japanese

trucks listed.
