Notes: Bought the truck in Oct.1986.I put a 3 inch body lift and a 2 inch suspension lift on it.I ran 31 by 11.5 inch tires on 15 by 8 wheels.In Sept.1989 I decided to tear the whole truck down and completely re-do it.Unfortunetly that was as far as I got.It sat that way in my garage until Spring of 2003.I found a 1984 Pontiac T1000 2-door in mint condition and decided to put the body on the LUV frame.I had to shorten the frame to match the wheelbase of the body.I currently have the body mounted on the frame.I also had to modify the Pontiac steering column to mate with the LUV steering box.I am sticking with all the LUVs original engine and running gear.I hope to have it finally back on the road by the end of summer 2005.

Notes: My LUV is a 1980 Mikado with the original 1.8. I am planning on restoring it the best I can. I've never taken on a restoration project before, so this should to be full of headaches and sheer enjoyment(after it is complete). I traded a 1986 Merc Gr.Marquis even up for it. I think it was worth the trade, especially since it only had 80k miles on it.

Notes: 1982 Chevy Luv is Blue long bed and 5 speed. The transmission is having some problems. However the motor is still humming. I understand that a 2.2 Diesel Isuzu engine's life is estimated to be over 16,000 hours. At 50mph that is over 800,000 miles.

Notes: 1980 Chevy Luv bought new by me with 26,000 original miles. Painted by nationally known airbrush artist Jim Kunze in 1983 and winner of many shows. The truck features a 5" body lift and a 3" suspension lift with 33" groundhawgs on 15x8 aluminum wheels. This 4x4 started out as a daily driver until it got repainted. It then became a show only truck. I am still working on some more mods as it is never truly finished. Any helpful tips on more mods are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Shawn

Notes: My truck is a 1979 luv stepside. As you can see, it's black, with a 350 under the hood. It has a 3.31 limited slip rear end and a custom driveline from Drive Lines Northwest. Once I got it, I customized the interior to get rid of the dated stock brown and tan. New door panels, painted the headliner, got seat covers, and put a stereo in. Future modifications include an engine swap, mustang II front suspension, new exhaust, and rims and tires, as well as a tonneau cover and whatever else I think of along the way. :)
