LUV: 1979 Daily Driver
Name: J.Fisher Sr
Location: Brownwood,
TX USA
Forum Name: 79-Luv'r
Notes: 1979 Chevy LUV Mikado 4x4
Stock Isuzu 1.8 ltr engine, 4 cyl
Stock 4 speed manual tranny, manual lock 4wd hubs
Weber 34/34 carburetor, K&N air filter, MSD 5200 ignition, Pertronix Igniter setup in stock distributor, Flowmaster exhaust on stock header & pipes.
Stock 14x7.5" wheels, Mastercraft tires
Stock front suspension, torsion bars lifted 2", Rear stock with 1" Rough Country add/leaf
Runs and drives excellent even for a 28 year old daily driver, and functional 4X4, idles great, decent gas mileage. Ride is a little rough with the torsion bars reindexed, but I'd rather have the added ground clearance.
Future addons: 2-3" body lift, 5 speed tranny, bucket seats, front and rear steel tube bumper with winch, Delta cam for more power in the 3500+ rpm range, Pacesetter or similar header, and Offenhauser intake manifold. Think my next mod will be to add a set of 15 or 16" wheels with BF Goodrich All Terrain TA's
The paint job, I did myself in my home shop with Rustoleum professional enamel and 4" foam rollers. yes I said rollers . I read about the process online back in January 07 on a popular MOPARTS forum title "Paint job on a budget", did a few tests with thinning etc, and was rolling on paint over Spring Break back in early March. Entire process took roughly 5 days to complete. The result was an awesome looking paint job completed for about $100 in materials, very scratch resistant, and shines as good or better than any BC/CC job I've ever seen.
Told my wife, she will probably have to bury me in this truck |

LUV: 1981 On/Off Road
Name: Nathan Dove
Location: Huntersville,
NC USA
Forum Name: red81luv
Notes: This truck was purchased brand new at Cross Chevrolet of Huntersville in 1982. The original owner is my uncle Steve Dove. In 1984 it was repainted to Fire Thorn Red. In 1989 he traded it to my grand father Jimmie Dove for a commputer. He drove it till 2002 when he aquired a 1994 Ford Ranger from the same uncle. After 3 years of sitting and rusting in the back yard, it was given to me to be my first car. At the begining of the summer of 2006 we bagain restoring it. After replacing the cv joint boots, a carburator kit, and alot of bondo. Its made it to paint. I will be painted Fire thorn again, and after fixing the seat it will be done. |
