Greetings everyone,

I am a new member on Mopar Forums with a 1979 Lil Red Express.

It was approximately in 1988 when my dad and I purchased this 1979 Lil Red Express. Actually, it was my dad that purchased the Lil Red Express at my insistence, and relentlessness, because I was very young at the time and had no extra spare money. Over the years, the Lil Red Truck was maintained, driven sparingly, not a daily driver and always parked outside in the elements. Since my dad passed away in 2007, the Lil Red Express has not been driven. In mid 2018, I obtained indoor garage space which is perfect for the Lil Red Express. I have been recently thinking about doing some work with the help of friends and MoparForums.com on the Lil Red Express. My aim is to bring the truck back to a point where it is real nice again in memory of my Dad.

The photo below of the Lil Red Express was taken in August 2018 and the truck has been virtually untouched since 1988.

Thanks for reading.
