LUV: 1978 Daily Driver
Name: Todd
Location: Coburg,
OR USA
Forum Name: nukeday
Notes: Worn out and ratty, but it seems to run pretty well. Stock, but it was poorly 'souped up' probably 10 years ago. Has a funky fiberglass visor, a leaky canopy, chrome wagon wheels and rotten rockers. Bought it as a dump hauler, but may end up using it for a commuter at some point. |

LUV: 1980 On/Off Road
Name: Mike
Location: Cedar City,
UT USA
Notes: The first thing that I did when I bought my truck was put a 2" body lift on and new tires,then put a new motor in it that at the current time has 40,000 miles, did all the body work and got it ready to paint (the bed had holes through it and no rocker panels were left), and pulled out tons of dents, the $50 paint job finished the outside. On the interior I covered the door panels made some new shifter knobs and recarpeted it. All the work has been done by myself. Future plans are to put some dimond plate on the lower part of the door panels, recover the seat, give the dash a make over, put a bigger motor in, and a 15" lift with some bigger tires. |

Notes: I got this LUV 78, last year for 100 bucks in pretty bad shape... I loved it from the very beggining so I started to fix it ( motor, transmission,flywheel, harness, etc. )... still many things to fix..( sometimes I feel like giving up )
Right now, I'm having a hard time trying to find the headlamp bezels ; I'd appreciate if someone can tell me where to find them...
Regards...

Forum Name: mudchuncker
Notes: It's a 1982 4x4 2.2 Diesel. I put Isuzu Rodeo rims with 235x75r15 BFG Mud terrians, a chrome brush gaurd, a s-10 rear bumper, then cranked up the torsion bars and added '78 mustang II leaf springs to the rear pack. My dad "customized" the grill when he had it. I have a lot of mods that I want to do, thinking about a frame swap to a blazer or later model Isuzu pickup. |

Notes: I did a V8 conversion when I was in High school back in 1982 on a 1976 Mikado. I sold it when I was in college and gas was a $1.76/gal. I sold it in 1985 and bouhgt 1973 VW Thing, better gas milage. I still own the thing but resently bought a 1980 2wd with no floorboards and a bent valve on the G200. Now I have 3 1980 luvs 2-2wd and 1-4x4. My specialty right now is saving the rusty non working luv's from the junk yard. I am sure the three I have now were very close to beiong scrapped |

Forum Name: Pvt Vance
Notes: I own a 1980 short box 4x4 Luv. I bought it for a $120 and towed it home in the fall of '06. It had been sitting for at least a decade. It took weeks to fire it up as i had to replace all igntions. I even had to syphin the gas out which smelled horrible and was green as anti-freeze. I got it to fire and drove about ten miles while it smoked before the carbuerator took a dive. Over winter it sat until I could locate a carb kit to rebuild. Now its spring and it just sits there. I need help to restore this truck into a lowrider. I want to make it a 2WD and put escalade rims on. I want to lower it all the way. Its going to be a long ride but I leave for basic training in the end of summer of '07 so I want to hurry, so please if anyone has any advice please email me! |
