I have been busy with my son's eco-stock dirt track car, last year and this year... But I have bought a driver Luv while I work on my V8 Luv. I know I paid a little too much for it. Engine from one of those Jap engine importers and just had new clutch, breaks redone and some more. Here are a few pics. Any one recognizance it? I pick it up this weekend July 4th

If you have a older LuvTruck.com tee-shirt just look at it. But that one has big tires and a blower sticking out of the hood.

Got a step side since I missed on yours when you bought it. Day late and a dollar short.

That grille had nothing to do with a Datsun/Nissan, you could by them back in the day for any truck.

I have one of those grills in my garage. Not going to install it, don't know why I got it. I like the look of it but won't work with my fan.

I like the chrome steps on the bed, if you paint the truck those will stand out nice.

My V8 luv is a Burnt Orange (University of Texas color) My wife works at Texas A&M University, daughter and son in law graduated from there, and they are maroon and white. Aggie Maroon and White might be what this one has to be. I got some bad looks when I drove my orange Luv at A&M, maybe it was the exhaust rumble. :lol:

I had no Idea what the are but it is a one piece. thing not home made. The guy and his suns are-were luv truck nuts. He has a whole wall full of pictures of them. Must have been at least 12 trucks. They had a v6 race truck.

The electric Fuel Pump went out on the drive home. Mounted on a cross member. Step side is different tank then stock. Lucky I was in a small town and pulled in the grocery store right across from a NAPA parts store. It could have been 30 miles from no where.

Hotrod what is your daughters major?
