Dodge Lil Express Truck
The secret of the Lil` Express Truck and its importance lies in the strict rules of the late ’70s, which robbed the V8 engines of their power and vehicles of their performance. However, Dodge found an interesting loophole in regulations that declared that pickup trucks didn’t need catalytic converters. This meant that Dodge could install a more powerful engine and have it breathe easier and deliver more punch than previous models or competitors. And this is how the Lil` Express Truck came to be. Dodge took the standard D Series short-bed truck, added a 360 V8 engine, and stacked big truck-like exhaust pipes behind the doors.
