I just picked up the swiss cheese version of a 1980 4X4 chevy LUV. I had been looking for one for a bit. A 78 was the first vehicle I ever owned and never got over losing that truck. So in a fit of nostalgia I got another one. Right now it's in pieces and I would really like to know where to get some sheet metal for this thing. Otherwise it will be 1/2 original sheet, 1/2 bondo, and 1/2 welding patches on. Not sure what I want to do with the truck overall, truth is it will probably never be finished. But getting it back into a running condition is first. After taking all but the block out of the engine compartment, I found the two biggest tragedies to be the timing cover (intake port for coolant completely rusted off), and the head unit (again the water jackets are corroded and almost running into the combustion chamber). So any advice as to where I can get these thing would be great, especially as I'm on a budget (translation: I have very little money). How yall doin?

Welcome F.N.G.!!!! :ebiggrin

Well as for sheet metal, I cant help you much there as I have been looking for a good front clip myself with no luck, just scour the boneyards, craiglsist and Ebay.

Thanks for the welcome. Glad the FNG question was cleared up. Hey anybody have a truck in AZ they'd like to put into a show? I know of one coming up in late April and it would be something like a $10 registration fee. Let me know and I can give you a contact.
