Hi , newbie here with my LUV story & a couple of questions :
I bought a '81 LUV 4x4 in 1984 . LUVVVED that truck !
But the rear end locked up in '88 or '89 & I foolishly sold it to a guy . Long gone .
First question is (& I know I should check with my DMV) , but I have my eye on an out of state '81 but the owner says he "lost" the title . If he signs a bill of sale , can I re-title it ? I'm in Iowa .
Second question is directed at 4 cylinder motor-heads : This truck has a blown motor.....what would be the best replacement engine ?
Is their a more modern engine (Toyota , Nissan , other) that is mate-able to the Luv 4x4 transmission ?
