Good morning, I need some help please. When I was a young lad I stole my mom and dad's car while they were out of town and totaled it. Well the reward for that was my dad was forced to sell his beloved LUV. It was white, I'm not sure of the year, it was 4 wheel drive, it had the white spoke wagon wheels and had a hawk like graphic on both sides with orange and yellow striping. I want to purchase this same rig and restore it and present it to him. It's haunted me for 30 years and I feel I owe him is LUV back. If someone could please point me in the right direction I would be in your debt. Year, motor, where I could find one and all that would be amazing.

Thank you for letting the new guy into your forum. Please E-mail me at anytime. shredded@hotmail.com

Thank you
Cliff

Factory 4X4 started in '79 until the end of USA LUV's in '82. Hope you find that same one or at least one like to make the same. Cool thing you;re doing. Good luck.

I am in Oregon. My Dad's truck was an early 80's with the hawk graphics stock.

If it was 4wd it was either a 79-80 or a 81-82. The body styles are completely different between those generations.so it should be easy to look at a pic and see which it was

As far as the hawk I'm not sure what that may be from. There were a lot of various dealer added decals may not have been from the factory. Somebody may chime in and know exactly what it was but as far as I know it wasn't a general option

Lots of luvs usually cheap on Portland and Salem craigslist usually. I would start there what area of Oregon are you in

I live in Oregon 2. And have had lot's of different luv trucks. I got 4 now. And don't remember ever seeing a hawk on one but should be able to duplicate if you got or could find a picture. But mostly need to know what style luv 79/80 or 81/82 as they change body big time in my mind. Then rebuilding a Luv truck to look like your Dad's did. If I can Help let me know pm me

I had a 79 4x4 for many years. Was white with the factory graphics on it. Was a orange and black 4x4 on each side with stripes and on the tail gate, with a very large orange and black 4x4 decal on the hood.
Might you be thinking of that?
