Description of 1978 Dodge Other Pickups Lil Red Express

You want a show stopper on your weekend outings and not pay too much, this is the vehicle for you.
When I drove an unrestored 1979 around Houston, I couldn't go anywhere that I didn't get thumbs up.
The standard HP 360, gears and L-60's made this one of the fastest vehicles 0 to 60 before the Viper came out.
And when was the last time you saw one of these babies at a car meet, if at all?
Only about 7,500 made and only about 700 of the 1978's left and 2,500 of the 1979s.
Think of it as Farmtruck in a really nice pair of Levis and plaid shirt.
Come guys and gals too. This thing needs to go, but I can't give it away. So let's make a deal.
That being said...
VIN sticker on B Pillar, matching number on frame
Long term driver restoration near complete and drives
Everything is rebuilt or refurbished except differential
1979 Hood (didn't like the original 1978 design)
Virtually rust free sheet metal, professionally repaired floor pan
Complete buddy seat and dash
Cleans up real nice under hood, just long term dust
Have refinished air cleaner and ram-air hoses
Triple coated new oak wood with Cabot boat finish
Stainless steel bed rails and fasteners.
Few bumps and several nicks from being in and out of various storage
Never been in the rain or water washed
Some primer shrinkage, but most of truck has never been cut and buffed
Wheels clean up just ok, needs new chrome
No warranty expressed or implied
I am a professional classic car tech and I don't do Cooter's garage.
