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...

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

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!
