Notes: Well for starts this is the first project that I've done with my son, so that makes it really cool. Second this trucks been around my area for a few years. It origonally come from Utah and was tottaly rust free. But as you can Imagine, a few years in Michigan winters took its tole. Its still very, very solid but after the son ran into the drivers side rocker with his go cart we can now see where the worst rust is. as the pictures show it has a small block in it thats the way it came to this state. I have been visiting the wabsite for quite a while and have been amazed at all the support from all the members. I look forward to gettig and giving all the advice I can.

Notes: My Truck is a 1977 chevy LUV fleet side. Or rather it was. I have replaced the fleet side with a short bed step side, Never thought it would be so easy to do. At first I thought I would have to cut down the frame, but as I got started it ended up all you have to do is take off the bumper bracket, and WALLA it's a short bed. I removed the old Isuzu 18 R engine and I am replaceing that with a 1980 3.8 Buick V-6 that I beleive I can get about 340 horse power out of. I took off the 2 barell intake and replaced that with a high rise Edelbrock intake with a 650 4 barell Edelbrock carb. I put an external oil cooling system, and tranny cooler on to keep the heat down in the engine compartment. When I got the truck the interior was all tore up so I have decided to take on the project myself of fixing it. I have built my own fiberglass center console and plan on wrapping that with carpet seperate from the floor so I can take the center out and in easily incase something goes wrong with the shifter or any of the wiring. The dash was completely shot so I have redone that out of fiberglass resin jelly and if I do say so myself it came out really well. I have never really worked with fiberglass of any kind so this is a first. (interesting stuff). Now that I have the dashh about done I am making a new dash face plate out of either aluminum diamond plate or stainless steel I haven't decided yet. Once that is done I am putting in all digital gauges instead of the ugly old ones I took out. I also plan on replacing the glove box cover with the same material I am going to use for the gauge face. As well I am doing the same to the interior door covers. I have a few pictures on my web site so please visit and take a look. I will be posting new pictures as the project goes along. So come see I think you mite enjoy it. Peace out. (FireDog)

I am 12 now and i look forward to driving my soonly tricked out Luv.

I think they called it a "mini mudder". It sat for a couple of years till I finally had a little xtra money to get it running again.
