Notes: My 1979 Luv came to me in 1993 and i have now Driven it on and off every since, In 1990 i replaced the old worn out 1.8 liter with a much newer 2 liter engine witch runs great and uses almost no oil in between oil changes . Also i have replaced the clutch 3 times since i have had the truck i think i can now remove and replace the transmission blindfolded. I am very demanding on my vehicle and i slowly have adapted the truck to haul heavy loads with ease. I made a custom lumber rack for the back where i can carry up to 20 foot long lumber with ease. And installed 1/2 ton overload springs in the rear also recently installed Load mister rear shocks that further improved the load carrying capacity. Last week i hauled .76 tons of gravel for about 25 miles at freeway speeds and the truck ran and handled the weight absolutely wonderful. Drove without any sqirliness and was rock steady About 2 years ago the Snohomish River flooded and my Luv sat in the water up to the windshield for about a week. About 2 Weeks after that i drained the Riverwater engine and the Transmission drove the truck for a few hrs then drained the engine and tranny again drove it again for a few hrs and everything has bin fine since then. |

Notes: I have a 1980 LUV that I bought in 1989. The truck was bought new by neighbor, sold to another gentleman in 1986, and then purchased by me in April of 89. It has only 126,000 actual miles. It has been sitting for 6 years but still runs. I plan on restoring it soon. Just bought a 79 mikado 4x4 that runs and drives this week. Will keep them both. Email if you know where i can get some parts. Teedle37@live.com |
