Notes: My red 2wd 1980 was bought new by my father. I am in the process of fixing a few things on it (don't know that I would call it "restoration" - it's beyond that point unless I can come up with some major parts from somewhere). It's a lot of fun to fool around with. I plan on keeping it on the road for many years to come. |

Lime green with fiberglass stepside fenders makes it stand out anywhere.
With headers and an aftermarket exhaust it puts out enough torque to give the tires a run for their money. |

Notes: Got my hands on a 1974 LUV that was introduced to a slugehammer, after all the body work, she is a black with red stripes with a matching tonneau cover. Replaced the rear window with plexiglass and cut out the back wall for woofers. Also have gutted the old mazda engine and replaced it with a 94' 3.4 out of a Camaro, along with the transmission. Since we had no use for the powered sterring unit and the A/C pump, gutted that and ran a smaller belt with a larger pulley for the water pump. Replaced the radiator for the one out of a Firebird, and have wired the PCM for the engine to the LUV. The interior was ripped and was replaced along with the seats, with a set out of a S-15 truck, and put the Camaro gauge cluster on the dash. Modified it with switches to run everything and replaced the gas tank with one out of the S-15 truck. True dual exhaust straight piped, all done with 2" pipe and a pipe bender. Almost finished with all of the wiring for the lights and window wipers, it runs and sounds mean, looking to have it driving in about a month. After this enngine, we have a 3.8 engine and are looking to put rollers, a supercharger and possible turbos on it. This is one Hell of a truck and the posibilities are endless. Ultimately this project truck was for a good mileage rainy day truck, when I coulden't ride my Motorcycle. Just look at what happened. I will hopefuly get some pics together to post. Out. |
