LUV: 1978 Street
Name: Michon Lokke
Location: Reno,
NV USA
Notes: My truck was built for me by my husband. The engine is a 468 cubic inch big block chevy, performer rpm intake, 750 Edlbrock carb, very reliable. It will cruise all day long at 185 degrees during Hot August Nights in Reno. It has a super T-10 4-speed with an hydraulic clutch pedal, which is a whole lot easier to depress than linkages. The rear end is a ford 9 inch posi with 350 gears while retaining the stock six bolt pattern. The steering colume is out of a 1978 trans am of course it is a tilt and the colume key operates just like a normal car. The dash is customized with a 160 mph speedo recessed inside. It has a set of Simpson 5 point harnesses. The body has a bunch of added body work that the normal person would not notice. The hood is an all steel custom made functioning cowl induction set-up off of an 1970 chevelle SS, spare parts left over from other projects that we have. The paint is porsche red. It has never been raced on a drag strip but let me tell you it is FAST! |

Forum Name: Luvtruck78
Notes: Brought this truck back from Kansas, was my late fathers.
Was going to give it to daughter as first car, you know how 16yr olds are, Crash and bang. Got into it - Well its not her's any more. Totally restore! New paint does wonders, Went thru the motor which is orignal. Runs sometimes a little rought but that can be fixed. . When I go to shows with it, everyone shakes their heads and ask why a LUV, or others don't know what the heck it is. Have taken 2nd & 3rd place - Working on that all needed 1st place.
But Im looking for interior piece for the door. Its a little chrome disk that goes around door handle. Can any direct me to the right person who would have one on their hands.
Love the little thing. |

Forum Name: wiseguy
Notes: It was a miracle when I finally found the truck in a junk yard for $250.00! I took it home and began the demolition. I am in the process of a 4" chop job, narrowed frame with 4-link, front coil over conversion, etc.... I have never done any of this type of work other than minor body work so it is truly a learning experience. I plan to have this complete by late 2003 and ready to race for the 2004 season. The 400cid Chevy pushing the Ford 9" and 14" slicks should put it in the high 9's to low 10's in the quarter. See ya at the track!!! |
