The bumper AND tailights look funny too. Wonder if they have origins on a ford product....

Taillights are/were standard replacement taillights that could be bought anywhere. Ford and big trucks used them from the factory, but anyone could get a set even at K-Mart.

The vinyl top can be installed by any trim shop, and kits were sold from JC Whitney.

I'm not sure how this truck is a Macho? There is nothing about it that "says" Macho.

79 powerwagon... thanks on the soft top info. That makes sense to me. This is up for sale and I went to go see the "warlock" with ultra rare California Chrysler exec special order ultra rare soft top edition... lol... ultra rare. . I found nothing about it in the parts book. As for macho sport those decals look very much to be the ones in the Canadian parts book on a utiline macho sport.. not macho.. but macho sport... and they do not say macho on them.

I missed the Canadian aspect... that now makes sense! smile (Though truth be told, I never heard of a macho sport, either, until now.)

The top might've been a used car dealer trick to cover up damage. The padding hides the imperfections......
