I have a 1978 long bed luv that's been sitting for about 3 years. Still runs, still drives, but the last week I was driving it the lights had, I believe, shorted out. The wiring is and always has been a huge mess, the radio ripped out as someone had tried to steal it. I had problems with the radio shorting out and randomly stop working for about a month before I stopped driving it.
I'm curious on if anyone knows of the price I would have to pay to get it re-wired, checked out, or tips for me to do it myself. I'm not in a rush to get it done, but I am anxious to get it back on the road, as you can't beat the look of a Chevy Luv. If anyone is specialized in this and has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated. I can upload pictures of under the hood and the wires everywhere from the radio if it helps. Thanks,
Cory

Buy a manual for your Luv and do it yourself! Wiring diagram available here on the site as well!

Thanks, I'll try to get the time to do it during the day... I should have checked my manual myself, but I was hoping someone with more experience would do it for a low cost ^_^.
Thanks again

Start any wiring issues by doing the fuse box fix. You can find directions with a search.

Also grounds are a major issue.
