3-liter LM7 V8, a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission, and a 3. 55:1 Positraction rear end. The truck is finished in red with gold graphics over a black interior, and it features a wood-trimmed bed, chrome exhaust stacks, 15″ slotted wheels, front disc brakes, air conditioning, and a JVC CD stereo. The Li’l Red Express was based on the Dodge D150 Utiline stepside pickup and produced for the 1978 and 1979 model years. The 1979 edition was distinguished by stacked quad headlamps, a flatter hood, and a revised grille. The model came finished in Medium Canyon Red (PY3450) with an oak-trimmed bed, gold-colored pinstriping and graphics, chrome bumpers, and vertical exhaust stacks behind the cab. Chrome-finished 15″ slotted wheels are mounted with Cooper Cobra Radial G/T white-letter tires. The braking system was reportedly overhauled during the refurbishment and features power-assisted front discs and rear drums. The seats have been reupholstered in black vinyl, and the central seat folds down into an armrest. Woodgrain trim accents the dashboard and the door panels, while replacement black carpets cover the floors.
