Limited to just two model years of production, this 1979 Dodge Lil
Red Express features the signature red paint and Lil Red Express
decals that mark its heritage. Chrome slotted wheels measuring 15
inches anchor each corner, wrapped in P255/70R15 tires that plant
this pickup firmly to the pavement. The wood bed stretches behind
the cab while chrome bumpers bookend the truck's profile, Side exit
stacks punctuate the truck's flanks, creating the signature look
that made these pickups so distinctive during their brief
production run.
Black vinyl covers the factory split bench seat, creating a
workspace built for function over frills. The column shifter keeps
the transmission controls within easy reach while auxiliary gauges
mounted under the dash provide additional monitoring capabilities.
Crack-free dash and door panels frame the interior space,
complemented by clean carpet underfoot. The Pioneer AM/FM single CD
player handles audio duties while crank windows and the absence of
air conditioning keep things simple and mechanical in the
cabin.
The 360 V8 engine provides the power, fed by an Edelbrock AVS2 1906
carburetor that meters fuel delivery with precision. A 3-speed A727
Torqueflite automatic transmission transfers power to the rear
wheels while power steering lightens the wheel effort during
maneuvering. Power disc brakes up front handle stopping duties, and
the side exit exhaust system creates its distinctive sound. Factory
manifolds route exhaust gases through the system while power brakes
assist with pedal effort during deceleration.
