Includes new L & R upper/lower ball joints that will eventually need installation. Upgraded engine block to 1989 casting which includes factory roller cam & lifters and high flow swirl port heads still in the LA small block engine configuration. Engine is 318 with factory 4 bbl. carburetor, 727A auto transmission, manual or non-power brakes and steering make for much better curvy road handling and braking experience compared to typical vague feeling power steering & braking of 1970's Dodge trucks.Paint is old faded respray and primer withpatina surface rust. No rust rot. Excellent floor pans, doors, fenders, frame etc. Tires are 235/70/15 & 255/70/15 and smaller on front than back like the 1978 Little Red Express truck. No spare tire.

This truck was built in the low line Custom trim and few options were ordered new. First was the 318 4V motor (Calif. & Canada Only in this weight class), next was a automatic transmission and last was a sliding rear window. A cigar lighter, carpet and AM/FM radio are some factory options installed later on by me. Steering wheel is O.E. type from a 1979 Little Red Express truck. Significant effort and cost has been given to keeping and restoring truck to "factory correct" style condition. A few modifications have been kept like the custom rear step bumper, saddle blanket seat cover, aftermarket wheels and plywood bed floor.
