Ok guys been quiet since i got my luv just chasing parts over here in aus before i get stuck right in, i knew the tailights on the car right now werent correct but looking a pics it looks like im missing a valance or something below the tub, im not sure and if anyone could put me onto the correct lights would be much appreciated

What i figure a 72 rear end is meant to look like


How i bought mine

I'm thinking you have a 73/ 74, or at least the bed looks that way.

The 74 I have looks like the one you currently have...

FIAA!

SFPP!

Ahh misread info i was under the impression 72 was the only year with tailights under the tub and were round but reading the topic year by year changes im guessing its a 74, hence rectangular under tub lights and manual choke?
If anyone knows what rectangular lights i should to be correct would be muchly appreciated

The ones youve got look like factory tail lights. The 73/74 ones were square like that.

They're kind of charming if you ask me.. I like to think of them as a very early version of the now-ubiquitous tail light housing. Somewhat primitive, sure, but they are good evidence of the many forces driving the change from individual lenses mounted to the tub structure toward a dedicated taillight housing assembly that had them all attached to it.

Also, follow this link to find the master parts list for all LUVs: http://www.luvtruck.com/Information.htm. That will tell you for sure what you've got and what you're missing.
I'm not aware of a valence for the rear end, and I don't think it's shown in there either.

Thanks heaps mate il get some better pics but just looks funny under the tailgate, there is the little bumpers on either side and the tail lights and nothing in the middle, i only had one tub on my previous 2 luvs and the lights were mounted in it
