  HI! WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL "WELL MEANING" FOLKS SHARE THEIR DOUBTS THAT THIS IS A "MACHO" BECAUSE, AND I QUOTE, OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS: #1. "IT DOESN'T HAVE THE STICKERS." #2. "IT DOESN'T HAVE THE ROLL BAR." #3. "IT HAS THE WRONG WHEELS." #4. "IT HAS THE WRONG STEERING WHEEL." #5. "IT'S RED, AND THEY NEVER MADE RED ONES." #6. "THE BUMPERS ARE CHROME. THEY SHOULD BE PAINTED." WELL... BEFORE THE TRUCK REACHES THE MINIMUM RESERVE: WITH ALL DUE RESPECT... LET'S LOOK AT THESE "OBJECTIONS" IN ORDER: #1. "THE MISSING STICKERS". THE TRUCK APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN REPAINTED ALONG THE BOTTOM UNDER THE BODY LINE WHERE THE STICKERS WOULD HAVE BEEN. #2. "THE NO ROLL BAR "ISSUE"". AS IT STATES IN THE DESCRIPTION... " THIS ONE NO LONGER HAS THE ROLL BAR, BUT ALL THE MOUNTING POINTS ARE THERE." #3. "IT HAS THE WRONG WHEEL "OBJECTION"" ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE READ, DODGE OFFERED THE WHEELS IN EITHER CHROME OR PAINTED. THIS ONE HAS THE SAME PAINTED 8 SPOKE "MOJOCK" STYLE WHEELS THAT DODGE SHOWED IN THEIR "MACHO" ADS. #4. "IT HAS THE WRONG STEERING WHEEL "PROBLEM"". =/ UMMM...SERIOUSLY? #5. "THEY NEVER MADE THEM IN RED "CONCERN"." =/ WELL....UHHHH...ACTUALLY... #6. "IT HAS THE WRONG BUMPERS." =/ OK. SERIOUSLY FOLKS...PLEASE KEEP IN MIND...IT HAS BEEN 35 YEARS & A LOT CAN HAPPEN IN THAT TIME. AND BUMPERS (BOTH) WOULD LITERALLY TAKE ALL OF AN HOUR TO CHANGE OUT. THERE HAS BEEN APPROXIMATELY 306600 OF THOSE (HOURS) SINCE 1978. SO TECHNICALLY, THEY COULD HAVE BEEN REASONABLY SWITCHED 306600 TIMES SINCE THEN. =) SO... WHILE I SUPPOSE I CANNOT SAY 100% FOR SURE THAT THIS 78 RED SHORTBED 4X4 POWER WAGON WITH THE FACTORY BUCKET SEATS, FACTORY ROLLBAR, FACTORY MOJOCK STYLE WHEELS, FACTORY TACH & GAUGE PACKAGE, ETC., IS 100% NO DOUBT A MACHO. I FEEL IT MOST LIKELY IS. BUT WORSE CASE, IT IS A 35 YEAR OLD, SUPER WELL OPTIONED, REMARKABLY STRAIGHT & SOLID, 1978 DODGE SHORTBED 4X4 THAT AT THIS POINT CAN BE PAINTED UP HOWEVER YOU'D LIKE IT TO BE & MAKE YOU A CLASSIC AMERICAN 4X4 POWER WAGON TO BE PROUD OF.
