1978 Li'l Red Express Truck spotted.

Stopped by the local C/D/J/R dealer today and this was at the entrance. It appears to be original. (Not sure about the wheels). The paint isn't as nice as it looks but it could be corrected. I had to look, produced in '78 & '79, (this is a '78) with a modified 360 with no cats. There was one in my home town owned by 2 sisters of questionable values. They ran with a tough crowd, lived hard and drove the truck hard. My long hair dirt bike gang stayed clear of them.

Those were the 1st muscle trucks and that's a nice one. The wheels are aftermarket but period correct as a popular wheel of the era.

70's gaudy tastelessness. In other words, awesome!

I love them. My dad had a 78 Stepside D100 he put LRE pipes on. Sadly, I totaled it in 1993 at the age of 16.

I had a similar vintage D100. With a slant six and a 727 TorqueFlite, it was the dog slowest vehicle I've ever owned.

I didn't hang out near rednecks so I never heard of them, much less seen one.
