The MACHO was like the truck on Simon and Simon!!! LOL
They were very cool and striping came in a few different looks.
Until the recent Rams and Dakotas they were my favorite trucks. Still are a
really close second to the new styles in my mind, and in some cases I like
them better because they used a lot of Dana axles and just seemed real tank
like in general. :-)
