Well.. never thought I'd see my LUV again, but it's back. I bought a 1978 blue Luv new in April of 1978. Drove it until the middle of 1981 when I sold it to the father of my first wife. When I sold it, it had 40K miles... He puttered around the neighborhood in it until he died in 1996. So it sat.. garaged since 1981, and not really driven in 30 years.

So, my ex mother in law contacted me a couple of weeks ago to see if I wanted the truck back. I picked it up last Friday. It now has 58K miles on it. I drove it 150 miles back home from Seattle and it did not miss a beat. Talk about a memory-filled drive.

Now, it's time to put it back in as perfect a shape as I can. It's got a bit of surface rust, mildly cracked dash, dented door, but other than that, darn near perfect.

Anyway... Thanks so much for hosting this site, as it looks to be the "go to" place for all things "Luv".

The fun begins!!

Welcome, and yes, a cool story. I lost track of my old '83 1/2 ton Chevy full size a few years ago. I sole it in '91, and that guy sold in about 4 years ago. Haven't seen it since. :cry: I wish I had bought it from him.
