Notes: My LUV was given to me. It was dilapidated, rusty, and abandoned. I restored it with the help of members of this website, and took over 2000 photos while I was doing it. I have a rebuilt engine, a restored floorpan, and many new and replaced parts throughout. I would be happy to share my experience with any inquiry.

Notes: I traded for a 1979 luv 4-wheel drive for nothing. It is in sad shape and needs alot of TLC. But it past the utah inspection. It has 215,000 miles on it and runs fairly well. The body needs work, and the floor pans are are gone. But it goes 500 miles every week that it decides to run.

Notes: This is my "Mickadoo" (Mick-uh-doo). It's also my daily driver/work truck. I do have a rollbar too. It is perfect for restoration which I plan to do. There is no rust on the cab, and the bed well be replaced. I have wrecked it once in the front, luckily only pushed the radiator in two inches--nothing I can't fix. I do have a '79 parts truck with a front clip that's just perfect for my truck. Pics of that truck well be placed later but I did not take a pic of it before I stripped it down.

Notes: I bought this truck for $5. It had sat in the guys yard for 6 years till i got it. They has tried to fix an upper engine problem, and got the cam timing wrong and bent all the valves in the the head. So i put a spare G200 head on the G180 block, and now it runs like a champ. Its still rockin the stock yellow paint. Its got a fair amount of rust, but its not horrible. I lowered it 5 inches in the front, and 4 in the back. It still has all the stock leafs in it. It rolls on 15 inch mazda wheels, with 195 50 series tires.

Notes: Owned my truck since 1985 and it has a lot of stories. It's primarily all stock with small details. As everyone knows it wants to breath out dual exhaust coming out a V8 that day will come soon(CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS). But before all that it will get shot with paint. My son is already decided it is his, we are still talking about that.
