1979 Dodge W150 Power Wagon Macho Man

A Type G Power Wagon refers to 4x4 Dodge trucks produced from 1958 to 1980 that were based on the standard Dodge C and D-series truck platforms.

The key distinction is that Type G Power Wagons shared the same body styles and design language as regular Dodge pickups of the era—you’d recognize them by their “sweptline” styling, rounded contours, and modern (for the time) truck aesthetics. They were available as the W100, W150, W200, and W250 models with various engine options including 318, 360, and 400 V8s.

By comparison, the Type D Power Wagons (produced 1946–1968) had a unique, standalone body style—those iconic flat-fender, military-derived trucks that looked like nothing else in Dodge’s lineup.

The 1979 Dodge Power Wagon you’re looking at is a Type G with the “Macho” package—a wild factory appearance option featuring bold red, yellow, and black striping, a KC light bar, and off-road tires. Think of it this way: Type G describes the underlying truck platform (D-series based), while Macho describes the cosmetic treatment.
