For Sale: 1979 Dodge Little Red Express in Lavergne, Tennessee

Vehicle Description

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.
