Notes: My truck is in very good body condition, it has minimal rust. when i got it the truck ran(barely) but it did, i was rallying it around and it siexed becaused the main bearings and rod bearings wear worn. it is now in the proces of getting the paint stripped and primered for now so it can be painted most likely a forest mettalic. right now i am rebuilding the 1.8 but it will be soon replaced with a 4.3 v6 or a 350. it is lowered (a lot) not bagged though i didn't want bags because i am gonna race it.

Notes: This 1981 diesel has 142,000 miles and my Grandfather fell in "LUV" with this little red wagon in Goshen, IN and took it off the Chevy lot in 1981. When he fell sick my stepfather got it and drove it to work and back for over 15 years and now I have it and do the same. One day it will be my sons because that diesel will never stop.

Notes: I am from Arkansas and have never seen another Luv truck. I have a 1979 Luv that is a 4x4, and I am trying to convet it to a 4x2 and put a 350ci in it with a turbo 400. I want to make it a real street truck that is somewhat forgiving for the powert output in such a light truck. I am having a hard time finding parts and suppliers. If any one has any info that would be much appreciated. I could go for some new lights, and maybe a grill or a fender. My E-mail address is z28freak95@yahoo.com. Feel free to send me anything you guys got. Christopher S Hague,

Notes: I have had this strong little work horse for quite some time. It was once the only vehicle I had.I would use it for everything, from hauling kids, toys, firewood and towing car trailers with stuff that would out weigh it by twice, and he would not give up on me. I would let others use it, no telling what relatives put it through and it still would not give up. Over the years I put a few new body parts on and regular maintenance, he would not give up! I finely hurt it at 216k. I am trying to find new body parts to revive him. Any help on web sites or manuals with these parts would be great. The little MIKADO will be handed down, hopefully looking as good as he runs. He has a 1.8 and it will be new again someday, Nothing like a face lift though.

Notes: Hi My name is Lucas Wright. Im 15 I recently got a 1977 Chevy Luv SS. It has an all chrome 350/350 Edelbrock Crate Engine with 1500 miles on it with a 600 Holly carb, a 400 Turbo Trans, and 4:10 gears in the rear. There nothing stock about this LUV. The whole bed on the truck is fiber glass and the hood is carbon fiber with a 3" Kowl Induction (also carbon fiber). The piant job on this truck in very unique. Its a special black with blue glitter with high gloss(its called black gold).The bed liner of this truck is all Dimond Plate so its very shiny. On top of the dimond plate sits the fuel cell and the battery box(we had to put it in the back for more space under the hood)-its all chrome too. To cover it all up from rain and other precipitaion sits a bed cover with Tailgator Acuatiors to lift it with a push of a button. As far as the wheels and tires are concerd we have 16" MAG wheels wrapped with Goodyear Eagle GT II's. The rear tires are 60 series and 12" wide! For the interior we have some custom made seats with chevy bow ties stiched into it(the seats match the piant perfect). The dash and metal and the interior is a matallic silver color. The instrument panel has been taken out and replaced and has red LED digital gagues now and it lights up the whole truck at night(its awsome!). The hurst shifter lights up LED red also! And to top it all off we put chrome traction bars under it so if someone pull next to ya at the light you got a little extra edge on the compition! Hope ya like it what your heard! If ya want to ask me any questions Email me at Weightz101@aim.com or just send me a PM in the forums my name is Blackgold! Later, Lucas

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.
