Notes: Well i bought this truck for 199$ a year ago from an old man who painted it baby blue with a paitbrush every year since he bought it. He also painted the wheels AND tires red. When i bought it i hand painted it yellow with black racing stripes just for fun. I have put the truck through all kinds of things and it still keeps on ticking. I also have a 78 luv as well. Its just kinda a unique truck in a small town like this. Im always looking for another luv so if any one is sellin lemme know.

Notes: My grandpa had bought this truck new in 1980 and when he died he gave it to my mom who said I could have it when I was old enough. Now a restoration job is in the making. The truck is bone stock. I am going for a custom restoration, leaving the stock motor in it being how it only has 47000 miles on it. It has a roll bar and a black paint job with a wide white stripe down the side outlined with orange and yellow. When I start it in spring, I will post some pictures in the gallery.

Notes: I just purchased this truck for 575.00 dollars and I love it. I've always wanted one. I sold a 72 full size chevy with a 383 stroker and I miss the power and the excitement of blasting through the quater mile. I've got plans to install a 625 horsepower small block, turbo 350 tranny and a ford nine inch. I like the body style and the look of the truck. It's all original even has the working a/c, I wanna try and retain this throughout the v8 transformation. It gets a little warm here in the summer, no matter how fast your ride is you don't look good in it sweatting buckets!
