Shoutout to Brian @ Elmhurst Auto Parts on Spring Rd in Elmhurst, IL for rebuilding that engine a decade ago. Support local business and buy parts from Elmhurst Auto!

I love the laugh that Zack has when something impresses/surprises him. You can tell this man loves what he’s doing. And who wouldn’t!? I’m jealous of you on this one my man. Keep them coming!

[@TheGeorgiaMediaGroup]

This was your best ever car review ever. zac has never smiled this much. Lol. Great review. ✌️

[@vr4787]

Anything from the D/W series is great. My grandpa had a D150 with the 318, just good solid work trucks overall. Love the Lil Red Express!

[@bwofficial1776]

Rumor has it that the 360 is the police-package version. The only way this truck could have been cooler is if it had the gold decals and wood boards on the bed. Props to the owner for not being afraid to use it as a truck. Even in the 70s, Dodge was like "emissions and fuel economy regulations? Haha V8 go brrrr."

[@darylkik777]

I was a Ford guy growing up, but I always loved the, "Lil Red Express Truck".

[@hardcyd3r]

I painted one of these based on a photo on Google and this was lovely to listen to and learn about. I love this truck. 💞

[@KenBober]

I've always admired those trucks. Oh and the bucking in my fc was solved. Bad gas. The gas station across the street from my shop had a tanker full of bad gas.

[@seanmccarthy-straw7460]

earned a subscriber bro. both you and this truck are awesome as shit

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

Awesome Dodge Lil red express I absolutely love those

[@cobracharmer6178]

I love the arrow through the exhaust stack. Driver was very fortunate it didn't pierce his skull !

[@philipp9481]

God i love your reviews! :D And: Whats the difference between many other reviewers: You really get into the engine / trans stuff and all the gauges and so on... Really like that - keep on doing it so! 👌 Your vieos are so underrated! Can't understand why you dont got such more views!

[@steveschmidt5574]

This was great! Pure joy!

[@dinanbimmertv1864]

Soo damn cool, I’ve been wanting a W200 forever with the same front fascia. I have yet to find a step side long bed, super rare but they look amazing! After watching this tho I might have to get a short bed 100 I can hot rod too! I wonder what happened to all the pinstripes on that lil red

[@gemininosaga]

He had it since he was 13 and he haven’t put any love into it. What a shame. It is a freaking Lil Red Express!!

[@royboy605]

Had a frame off restoration in 2010 🤷‍♂️ it’s it’ll be time for another soon!

[@mrsteve4313]

The Viper v10 was not designed by Lamborghini, they helped with the aluminum build of the block, the viper v10 is a mopar 318 with 2 extra cylinders and a brother to that 360. Designed by Dodge.

[@henrry1959]

i have the 78 lil red (as my first car) i cant wait to get it running

[@chrisholland2016]

Seen a Dodge lil Red with a cummins engine and boy that truck was sick.

[@celsovera91]

This truck is the granddaddy to the Ram TRX

[@TheGeorgiaMediaGroup]

Dude. I got a garage full of hot rods. If you ever in Georgia.

[@ShootingCars]

Email me! I'll be there next month! [e-mail]

[@kevmiller6632]

Hi, wondering if the Lil Red Express is for sale? Great looking. Have a great day and talk to you soon.

[@ericyoung1478]

11:08 "Goodbye, Honda Pilot!" Lmao XD

[@njr7362]

What happens if you put premix when it is not needed. And can you make a video of top five mods for an fc rx7

[@evlutionzllc5519]

I think GMC Syclone and Typhoon were the next 'sport trucks' after the 'The Lil' Red express and before the Ford 'Lightning'

[@tuanh_duong]

Very nice

[@jasonbennett9995]

i almost agree with you but there was a Mopar made available in 1970 called the dude check it out 383 big block nice truck God bless from Canada eh

[@nadz109]

They were fastest truck until the lightning came out

[@royboy605]

Don’t forget the GMC Syclone ;)

[@Blackattack7958]

I just got one that does run but the body is in terrible shape and someone stole the exhaust but i am wondering where i can get the side exhaust?

[@leethorp2164]

The Lil Red Truck wasn't the fastest American vehicle in 1978. The Vette had a higher top end. However the Lil Red was quickest in the 1/4 mile.

[@dave11686]

I’ve always thought these were cool

[@mrsteve4313]

Mopars most certainly do have great transmissions especially if you leave your engine stock or smart enough to build your transmission when you build your motor but if your dumb enough to double or triple hp or torque and not touch your drive line bad things happen like putz' with a Cummins!!!!

[@MrBinnie824]

Cool truck but it's not the first sport truck by far. MOPAR made a couple D Series trucks in the 60s with a 426.

[@mrsteve4313]

Looks more like a side step Dodge with lil red stacks.

[@michaelmarks5012]

A 727 Torqueflite transmission is one of the most reliable transmissions ever produced. Do your homework!

[@roadreapervideos7001]

Not the first sport truck. In 1964 with a 413 Wedge

[@w.e.s.]

U can't drive it bc u ain't ever drove a old pos they drive different

[@w.e.s.]

That's not a express its a pos clone

[@royboy605]

Numbers matching Lil Red Express :) I just never put decals or wood back on after respraying it in 2010. She’s no clone 😁
