I just got this fine machine in July. There's not much love for the Luv around here(Columbus Ohio) but I like. It's a great truck. Image
Only 70,200 miles when I bought it. Image So many plans...so little money Image

That is a sweet LUV. Wish I could find one in that condition. Congrats on the find.

Welcome to the site, and you have a beautiful (in a manly way) truck!


And thanks for the nice pics...
more visual evidence to show my wife what my son's truck will look like one day.

And my son, since it is now all apart.

That's a very nice truck. I would leave it like it is, and just enjoy it.

Nice looking truck. It is hard to come by them in this condition up here in the Northeast. Best of luck with it!

Well, the best that I can figure, is that it was in some type of a small fender bender. That's the reason for the busted headlight bezel. And yes the paint doesn't quite match. But i can live with it for a while.

The current mileage is 71800. I, of course have big plans for it. Most of them probably won't happen. The truck is too clean and straight to really think of doing too much to. I have lowered it. I'll take some more pics soon. It looked like an old man truck when I found it. Probably why it was so nice. I found the hubcaps for 10 bucks at the local Goodguys show. Would love a v-8, but thats a ways away. Image

I thought the paint looked a little off too, but just figured it was the camera flash or the lighting. Even still, that is a real clean truck for up in these parts.

Looks like a great find. Use it, save money. Make a note pad with you want to do to it and if any of us here can give some tech tips.....

Keep pictures of how it is now, when ever you do anything to improve it, money spent, time spent.
That way if Big Foot crushes it, you can make them repair it, or place it with the same truck.

If you put it into any car shows they like to see books with pictures in the book

Looks Great and have fun with it
