Notes: MY name is Spencer Seifert. I just turned 16 and aquired my dads 1979 chevy luv. What i like best about my truck is probably the headlining in the cab. At first i thought chevy luvs were dumb and all I wanted to do is throw it away. But now that ive learned my chevy luv is one of the best and original in vancouver(from what ive seen). I dont know much about the engine but i will learn. Me and my dad just put a 1981 rebuilt isuzu pup 4 cylinder 1.8liter in the truck (don't laugh we were gonna put a 350 v8 but it would of taking alot of work and would have had alot of power for my first car,pardon me truck). I really want to spruce my truck up with a new paint job and rims. But i dont know if ill be looked down on in the chevy luv community which hopefully i can become part of some day. I would like ot paint my truck black and throw a set of chrome rims on it but i dont know if thats what your suppose to do with luvs(did that just sound dumb). Also is it dumb to put a cargo net where the bed is suppose to be because it was like that for a while. If any of you out there want to email me and give info on where i can buy parts in my area. Also if someone could give me feed back on my idea for the paint is black a good color? Ill hopefully talk to you all soon in the chat room or if someone wans to email me my email is spencerino8@hotmail.com just head your letter chevy luv thanx guys chevys rock(i can say that right)

Notes: My Luv had 82,000 original miles on the stock 1.8 when I got it. It has a pretty decent paint job and runs very well. The gentleman I bought it from said he was the second owner but he'd only owned it for a few years. It gets me from point "A" to point "B". I have a 350 4-bolt and 5-speed tranny waiting to be built and installed into my Luv.

It does awesome off road, and while not a powerhouse, will do just about anything you ask of it and sips from the tank as well!!! I would like to someday restore it.
