Little Red Express

[shootin4fun]

My dad bought this 1979 Dodge Lil Red brand new in 1979. I rode home from the dealership in it when I was 7. The truck was stolen in 1988 from a Dominos Pizza were my brother worked in high school. The truck was almost totally destroyed. We recovered a week later and it's been a really slow resto for dads once he is semi-retired. It's been sitting in his garage from 1988 until about late 2012. The original 360 was pulled out with 120k original miles and replaced by a '69 440 .30 over with a 584 lift cam. It's sounds great and looks great. We have been working on it for the last couple of years or so. Just wanted to share with y'all.

Enjoy the pics
