I love this car. For the past year, I have been checking into purchasing a kit. They are quite expensive. I will probably have to wait another year, but I will have one. There is a guy in Canada building these on a Chrysler frame, and dropping 440 Magnums in them. That way I could drive this to Mopar Nationals. Very cool.

Remember the lifted GMC in the "Fall Guy"? I thought it was too cool that the side of the bed opened up to reveal a hidden stash area. :thumbs:

(sorry, I can't find a good pic of the truck :-[ )



Although, there was another reason I loved that show, besides the cool truck... :drool5:


The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Here is another picture of the truck. The close up trucks were 1984 GMC trucks. However during filming you could see several different years used. And sometimes they even used Chevys.

what about HUNTER ?...

another car I LIKE a lot is the ECTO1 even is not a TV show, however if we include comics... Is a station wagon fleetwood ? or something like that ? cadillac ? I allways have been courious about that

another famous car is the BETSABE.

Daisys Jeep I think is more representative than the RR on dukes ofr hazzards, same as Cooters tow.

Here is the best I could find on the Simon and Simon 1979 Dodge "Macho" Ram.
Yea, theres nill on both the Simon & Simon Power Wagon and the 57 Chevy vert on the net.  I dont understand, I thought on the internet there would be 1700 sites devoted to the glove box handle on Jim Rockfords firebird... :icon_smile_big: Even if you punch in "Macho Power Wagon" you dont find much...
You still see them occasionally, they all had the yellow black stripes and vertical Power Wagon callouts behind the cab, but the body colors came in red, orange, green, tan, blue and white (and probably others I have missed) The 79 & 80 models were identical, the 1978 & 1981 Macho models were slightly different, but all had blacked out highlights and stripes with no chrome...very cool looking trucks..I'm pretty sure the Ramcharger was also offered in the Macho package..
