Have a luv and stumbled apon a super clean 1974 For Courier. Looks very similar to a Luv and was just wondering how they compare. Think I can get it for cheap price.

Man if you can get it for under 1k grab it! I had a 79 and I shit you not it was without a doubt one of the best trucks I've ever owned. Pretty on par with the luv if you ask me but wayyy better gas mileage. I was avg'n about 35-45 depending on how I drove it.
It lasted from 54k miles to 238k which was all done within like 2-3 years which it would have probably gone further had I not put a 12k lbs load on it(blew head gasket)

All in all very reliable and worth keeping around if its as clean as you say it is

heres a couple pics

I had a 78' sport with the Mazda motor and it was a great truck .

Where the LUV's flaky electrical problems are mostly in the fuse box, the Courier has flaky splices scattered through out the wiring harness. My father in law and I once spent a whole day tracking them down and soldering them. That was on a less than 10 years old truck in Alabama. Wouldn't take one as a gift.

Odd as the entire time I owned my 79 i never had a single electrical issue..

I have always liked the look of the early 70's Couriers. Clean and simple.

My buddy had an early Courier a couple times. It actually came in and out of his possession 2 or 3 times. It always ran great. Made a horrible sound due to no timing chain guides, but it ran great. The letters on the hood had been changed to read " DORF". So that was it's name.
