New to the site, not new to oldschool minis. lol First vehicle i ever bought was a 1977 toyota hilux, ended up selling it. right out of highschool got me a 1977 datsun 620 and built which some of you may recognize from minitruckin mag. and now after keeping an eye out i found me a 1977 luv. picked her up today. pics coming soon. shes a carbed 4.3 out of a s10 with a 5 speed and s10 rearend, disk brakes all the way around. wheels are horrible and have to go. i wanna get some steelies on it, squat it, and make a nice daily driver out of it.

underneath the hood is ugly.





the inside needs a dash cap headliner and glove box. the carpets decent, the door panels and seat are nice. they have black ostrich inserts and i actually like them.

over all not a bad little truck, i wish it still had the bed hooks on it tho!

I love them old Datsun 620's. I had one about 15 yrs ago. That was what I was looking for when I found my Luv.

I was looking for a luv when i found my datsun lol. I guess it all worked out.

they will be gone asap, im hoping the steelies from my datsun will clear the disk brakes on the back and im planning on just running those. it will take me a month or so to get rolling because of funds and i wanna register to oklahoma and im stationed in louisiana.

Nice C10, how much of a drop do you have on it? We found a 69 short bed yesterday in Cody Wyoming as my brother has wanted one forever that we are going to get Sunday and the first thing it is getting is a drop. and oh yea, Welcome!

I like the cpp springs with no complaints. I bought mine thru speedway and they had a sale going on so you might wanna check them even though its been awhile

Cool, also dont mean to hijack your thread but what size wheels and tires are you running on the c10? I like the way it sits (was going to ask earlier if you knew whos truck that was in the background of the luv pic ) Here is the truck we are getting Sunday and the wheels and tires on it have to go immediately.

i had to run a spacer for the steelies to clear the disk brakes in the front, and the back needed a spacer just to look right

Well I ended up letting the Luv sit for 5-6 months without touching it. I decided to start working on it again. I found out the rearend is out of a 93? or so rodeo with the disk brakes and dana44. The tranny is the nv3500 and I pulled the motor and am waiting for my new one to be built. Ive installed kicker 3.5s, 6x9s and a hideaway unit under the seat with a kenwood deck. got the heat all working inside. replaced the 4 point harness with some basic lap belts. put a new fuel system on and am currently finishing cleaning up under the hood. My 69 shuld be sold tomorrow and the Luv is being built to be my daily so more pics soon!!!
