LUV: 1979 Daily Driver
Name: Nick Kuker
Location: Readlyn,
IA USA
Forum Name: nkuker_79
Notes: My truck is bone stock except for the Holley elct. fuel pump. I purchased it from a friend in April 2004 and am saving some money for a paint job and an engine swap, I'm thinkng a 400 sbc. Right now it is orange and it has bucket seats out of a S-10 or Blazer, one of the two. I got in an accident in June of 04 and had to buy a doner truck off ebay for the front end. That one is a blue 79 4x4 that doesnt run. |

Notes: This LUV Truck is a midlife project,having my first LUV a 77 way back in 78 it ended it's life with me as a 350/350 narrowed 8-3/4 rearend and a walk through (if anyone remembers them)One other V-8 LUV. 7 other stock LUVs, and a PRO STREET Datsun.(I could'nt find a cheap enough LUV at the time)Along came the wife
then the kids (the youngest is in her first year of college)and away went my toys. Fast foward to the present. Just bought 2 LUVs 1980 and a 1978. The 78 is going to donate it's bed to this project it's a stepside. This truck will be PRO STREET running a 350/4 speed and a narrowed 9" Ford. I hope to have it on the street by April 2005. |

Notes: I have a 1972 Chevy Luv with a 327 vortec. It's my dad and I's project truck for the drag strips and the road. I'm looking for someone around my area to go race with, and for some cool tips for rebuilding my truck. I really need help with the weight issue because when I put that 327 vortec it made the rear end stick up and the front squats pretty low so looking for help on that problem also. Thanks

LUV: 1981 Daily Driver
Name: Thomas Barlow
Location: Colorado City,
AZ USA
Notes: My father bought this truck in '84. It has a big dent in the side, the paint is wearing off, but I still love it. It is? well, it was silver. It has blue interior. Father put carpet in it and a nicer speaker system. It is a 1.8L 4-speed 2-wheel drive long bed. It has racks on it as Father used to use it for work. Right now it isn't working, something is wrong with the fuel pump or something, and as I am only 16 and still going to school, I haven't had time to fix it or get it fixed yet. Someday in the future I wish to put a bigger engine in it, but for now, I'll probably just use it for work. Sure is fun to cruise though. I would like to find a glove compartment cover for it, as the one that is in it got cracked. |

Notes: 1980 Mikado 4x4 with minimal rust and a nice, straight body. Had a nice system in it with a set of 12" subs, but now reduced to 6.5's and 6x9's from deck power. Most common use is toting lumber around (building a garage), but she enjoys playing in the mud every once in a while. Sporting white powdercoats and a set of 28's. |
