Would like to see underhood. Wonder if it still has V2 a/c compressor and the factory air cleaner. The bench seat and omni wheel don't help it but I agree, reasonable price for restored one.

Nice looking truck with whats shown
Right year but wrong color interior for me to think about one There were only two choices for interior colors. Red or Black. My 78 is red inside and my 79 is black inside.

First thing I would do to that Express is ditch the ugly Omni wheel and put a Tuff wheel on it. Well, that steering wheel was what they put on those trucks in 1979 so it's factory correct.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Black interior anything is out of the question for me Part of me would like to own a Little Red express and it would have to be a 1979 ( better looking grill and hood ) But red interior AND factory air would be mandatory for me to even think about one.

Yeah, yeah I know. Just don't know what they were thinking by replacing the great sporty Tuff wheel on the 78 with that god-awful Omni wheel on the 79.

It's not as cool as a Tuff Wheel, but not as bad as some seem to think.
