Description[]

The '78 Dodge Li'l Red Express Pickup is a special variant of the 1978 Dodge D-series pickup. The Li'l Red Express truck version was only used for the 1978 and 1979 model years and was part of the third generation of the Dodge D-series from 1972-1980. The Hot wheels casting portrays the model with a semi-style exhaust stack instead of exhaust pipes along the chassis to the end of the cargo deck. The casting was modified in 2018, with a modified exhaust system.
