Vehicle description

This is a 1978 Dodge Lil Red Express a Collectible Classic! This a clean solid truck. It spent most of it life in North Carolina. The Truck runs great and is mostly all original. The rear bumper is not original.
Dodge released the Lil" Red Express Truck In 1978 it was one of the most unique Dodge trucks that had ever been produced. The Lil" Red Express was not only a real looker but these trucks were also real performers also. In 1978 The Dodge Lil" Red Express was the fastest American made vehicle from 0 to 100 MPH as tested by Car and Driver magazine. Because of a loophole in the emissions regulations the 1978 Dodge Lil" Red Express Truck"s did not have catalytic converters, what the Lil" Red Express did have was a special High Performance 360 C.I. 4-barrel small block engine code (EH1) which was a modified version of the 360 police engine (E58) producing 225 net horsepower @ 3800 RPM. The package also included Hemi style mufflers with a crossover pipe breathing through 2 chrome stacks located behind the cab, a special 727 transmission and 3.55:1 rear gearing. The 1978 Dodge Lil" Red Express Truck rode on GR60x15 raised white letter tires on 7-inch Chrome wheels up front and LR60x15 on 8-inch chrome wheels on the rear and there was no spare included. All 1978 Dodge Lil" Red Express Truck"s were automatics the interiors were available with a standard bench seat in red or black or with optional buckets and a fold down arm/rest console which was available both years. 1978 and some early 1979 Dodge Lil" Red Express Truck"s used the "tuff" steering wheel. The Dodge Lil" Red Express Truck was a hit with the public; 2,188 were produced in 1978.
