79 DODGE "LIL RED EXPRESS" & 79 DODGE DUALLY X-CAB-2 trucks-Most Resto Parts inc

Description for Dodge Other Pickups 1979

I need to sell due to "UN-RESOLVED FAMILY" Issue that will Probably prevent me from completing the full restoration of each as I have to move and have no room forthese "2Pride and Joys" and my other "TOY".--Which will be sold separately in another listing real soon. Look closely as this type of deals only come around once every 10 or so years.

To be sold as a package deal. I do not wish to seperate these two trucks as many parts are interchangable and I do not have the time to make seperate offerings.

THIS IS NOT A BARYARD SPECIAL.. ITwould bea good deal at 32-35+ G's!!!! "{ in my opinion !!}"

'SHIPPING IS' "NOT INCLUDED"!!!

THE Dually is about60% done in body- engine work/driveline done and brakes done- THE Lil RED EXPRESS would be a easy restoration as ithas beenwell cared for and YOU GET 90%+ of all the NEW- NOS- RUST FREE RESTO PARTS INCLUDED!!

I am the Original owner of the Little Red Express {ordered in late 1978 and bought new in early 1979 from Jenkins Motors, Portage Wis. and I Have The Documents for it}!!!...

I am the 3rd owner of the Dually. I bought it from a Preacher in southern Wis. who bought it out west. A rancher only used it to pull a 5th wheel horse trailer with 6-8 draft horses in it. Thus the low milage as it was used only for towing. It still has some of the 5th wheel bolt holes in the box-blank bolts put in them. the ones on the wheel well have been welded and blended shut.

Both run and drive very good but the "Dually is far from roadable" as the panels just have a few bolts in them for mock up as you can see in the PICS. {but with a couple good hands and some quick sub assembly-we, that's you and me,, cand throw in a few bolts to make it drivable and bolt back on the box--as it ready to mount????

The Little Red Express D150--Id# D13JS9S223197-- was always Garage kept-- has 299,000 miles {well maintained} on it and will still run most anything to come up against it. IT CAN BE DRIVEN HOME MOST ANY DISTANCE BY THE NEW OWNERS... [limited by how far the back tires can go- back tires have only 25% tread- front tires have 60% tread yet]

It has it's original engine and transmission and rearend! Trans and rearend have not been rebuilt but work great {engine was repainted red when I re-sealed all the gaskets and rebuilt only the heads/new timing chain, at about 180,000 miles in around 1990.} I ran it only once on the strip after doing all the Mopar Direct Connection tuning tricks for stock eliminator and it ran a 12.92 at 112mph while smoking the tires well into 2nd gear. It'll probably still come close today at it's age and mileage.

The Floor pans and rockers, cab firewall,back panel,roof are pretty much 95+% RUST FREE {NO HOLES},, [maybe some surface scale rust on floor pans around the exhaust of course]- The frame is 85-90+% rust free and was always kept painted & steam-cleaned .. it has the original crossover pipes and disc brake rotors/rear drums/aircleaner-dash-Spare tire and wheel, etc.! the original box has the usual rust step sides get around the spot welds.. But it comes with a rust free Arizona box....

IT WAS REPAINTED IN 1985 AFTER FALLING VICTIM TO SOME OF THE AREAS FINEST "VANDALS"!! It was keyed up/gouged from end to end on every pane, winshield busted out and stacks broken off while sitting in a "WELL LIT" public parking lot!! Evidently it "HUMILIATED" TO MANY CHEBIES & FURDS!! {Mopar had no more decals, so they were never put on-it has newer stack pipes and mufflers on it.}

It was ordered and came complete with factory 10,000lb reciever trailer hitch/trailer package -- without A/C {thus the idler pulley in place of the A/C unit to accommidate the big alternator/H20 pump-larger pulleys.} It has the quad headlights in it.

IT HAS 78-79 ASPEN SUPERCOUPE 15 X 8" WHEELS ON IT THAT ARE IN GOOD SHAPE WITH THE CENTERS--THESE ALONE I HAVE SEEN GO IN E-BAY FOR $700-1500.00 SET IN ONLY FAIR TO RUSTY SHAPE. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL SPARE WHEEL UNDER THE TRUCK IN THE TIRE CARRIER--ORIGINAL JACK AND HANDLE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
