Default Pictures of my 1978 lret 4x4

ADDED TEXT TO PICTURES

Here are some pictures, I hope you enjoy them.

I added some text under the pictures in my photobucket album of these pictures. Here is the link for anyone interested.

Dodge never made a Little Red Express truck in a 4X4 so I created my own.

I am down sizing my fleet since I had 7 vehicles insured recently. I sold my 1978 Jeep Renegade Levis 304 4X4 CJ7 and I am going to sell my 97 Chevy pick up. I am consolidating two vehicles, so I decided to convert the LRET to have a 4X4 to play in the sand as I did with the Jeep, and to use as a real "truck" when needed.

I bought a 1977 Dodge W150 short bed as a donor for the 4X4 frame, front end, transfer case, trans., and rear end. Then switched the body to this donor frame.

The LRET was already converted to a 440 Magnum before I purchased it.

answers to questions:

I live in Sedona, AZ. about 25 miles south of Flagstaff.

Until I recently sold my Jeep in addition to the vehicles in my signature I have my wifes 2006 HHR and a 97 Chevy pick up and my 1981 H.D. Sturgis Lowrider insured for a total of 7.

I have a heavy duty rubber floor mat in the bed of the truck and am careful with what and how I haul things in it.

Thanks for all of the compliments.
