With the
success of the 1978 Dodge Li'l Red
Express Truck production of the 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express
Truck's was increased to 5,118. Most of the features
remained unchanged for 1979 however there was some changes
which included a catalytic converter, unleaded gas, 85 MPH
speedometer.
The most
noticeable changes on the 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express
Truck's was the new flat hood and dual square headlights
replacing the round versions on 1978 Dodge Li'l Red Express
Truck's and the 1979's rode on LR60x15 raised white letter
tires on 8-inch chrome wheels on all 4 corners.

| Due to rising
gas prices and the Dodge Li'l Red Express thirst for fuel
Dodge dropped plans to build the 1980 Dodge Li'l Red Express
Truck causing the value of the 1978 & 1979 Li'l Red
Express trucks to fall. Owners that managed to hang on to
there Li'l Red Express trucks soon found out that the fall
in value was temporary and like all rare mopars they would
in the end be one of the most sought after dodge trucks ever
produced. |
