yeah. its been 2 1/2 years in the making. the truck was a 4x4 but he bough spindles from an 87 pup and converted it to a 2wd.

Nice looking rig! :)

I noticed his engine sits pretty high. I ran into that same problem when I dropped the 283 in mine. I think its something to do with the 2nd gen models, they have less vertical clearance under the hood. I had to cut a hole in the hood for the carb and air cleaner, and then, someday cover the hole with a cowl...but thats a someday project.. 8)

Nice truck though!

Well I guess Cody's gonna take the engine back out of the Luv because there aint no oil pressure. But at least he drove it for a while.
