Notes: I bought this truck in need of a lot of repair, basically everything the previous owner had worked on needed to be fixed. I built a 2 inch body lift from scratch and it came lifted 2-3inches in the suspension, I dropped the front about an inch to get it off the bump stops. It now carries me to work every day, and off road on the rare occasion I need it to. It is white with blue interior, factory A/C, chrome pushbar, chrome visor, bucket seats from a mid 70s camaro, and is waiting for me to paint a rollbar and tube rear bumper. I doubt it will ever be "done" because there is always something else you can do to a LUV.

LUV: 1979 4x4
Name: Dan Erlendson
Location: Stanwood , WA USA
Notes: Stock blue 4x4. Has 275,000 miles. Runs great. Best little truck built. Will drive it till the motor goes out. Then park it till I need it again. Had it stolen once. The guy picked it over a park and ride full of newer trucks. Must have thought it was less noticeable. It did have a stall problem, but a new coil fixed that. Ignition switches are no longer abailable. I've had it sence 1984. Its good to see so many building LUVs up so nice. Keep On LUV'N.

Notes: My luv truck is still all factory. I bought it from a guy that let it sit outside most of it's life. He drove the truck until he put 100,000 miles on it then he let it sit because he bought something else. The rust has taken over the whole truck. I have been driving the luv for 5 years now. The luv has over 285,000 miles on the stock drivetrain. It burns a quart of oil every hour I drive it. I'll keep driving it until the engine stops running. This just goes to show all luv owners that no matter how bad these trucks are treated they keep going. I only paid 500 dollars for this luv and to this day it has never left me stranded on the side of the road. The only maintenance that I have done to the truck since I've owned it was a tune up and oil changes. The brakes had to be replaced. Other than that the truck doesn't want to stop. I'll let everybody know when she finally takes her last drop of fuel.

Notes: I've had this truck for going on ten years, and have done stuff with it I'd have no business asking of an Army tank. Besides the resto shots, I think every picture I have of it, we're doing something stupid with it. I honestly don't know what's been holding it together all these years, but it's certainly earned my respect. It's even been stolen, and found its way back home- I like to think it was kind of like "Incredible Journey"- that Disney movie where...
