Replying to: kyfdx (Oct 18, 2008 9:42 am) Yep, it's a '78, IIRC they were all stepsides. There weren't many new performance/muscle cars around in '78 so speed junkies were attracted to this muscle Hemi-truck which could outrun contemporary Corvettes. The article I took it from calls it a "L'il Red Express" but "L'il Red Wagon" is the name I recall too. Hubcap Cafe splits the difference and call s it both.

Replying to: andys120 (Oct 18, 2008 1:26 pm) I remember it as "Little Red Truck," actually. Pretty sure it made its debut as a '78 model. Could be different marketing in different parts of the US. It had a 360 4-barrel (not a Hemi, but as close as you could get in '78) and would keep up with the Chevy C-10 454, not to mention accelerating about as quickly as an L82 Corvette.

Replying to: stephen987 (Oct 18, 2008 2:50 pm) Actually, I think the '78 model used a copcar 440, although the '79 used a copcar 360. The 360 put out 195 hp. I think the 440 had 255 hp. Wasn't there also a model called the Warlock, which came out before the Lil Red Express? Replies to this message: stephen987 (Oct 18, 2008 3:54 pm)

Replying to: andre1969 (Oct 18, 2008 3:17 pm) I found an article on the truck from Automobile Magazine, in case anyone is interested: http://www.automobilemag.com/features/collectible_classic/0712_1978_1979_dodge_l- - il_red_express_truck/index.html
