Finished product!!!. This is the kids first job of this magnitude and he did a good job. My old Binks Model 7 still sprays as good as new.
We found alot of parts all over the place from junk yards to ebay and I would like to thank CTMANDU for helping us out with the emblems. Another Luv back on the road!!

Very nice project, it looks great. I am sure your son learned things that he will use over and over in his lifetime. I bet he will take great care of it too.

Thanks for the comments guys. I can tell he definitely has a resepct for all the effort he put into his LUV. We've wrenched on vehicles since he was old enough to hold a hammer but this is his first project like this.

The seats are out of a 1987 Nova (toyotanova) and the console is out of a Ford Explorer, (not sure of the year model). We also found a NEW DASH and I guess I should have put a pic of that on here as well.

Thanks, he made that bumper almost completely out of pieces of metal he got for free from where he works. The 5 sp conversion will be down the road since we still have to get mine in at least as good of shape as we did his.

Yep that's the one, I'm glad you're not selling your truck. I'll go take a look at your thread for sure. That sounds sweet with the Chevy symbol in the seat.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I know my son appreciates the truck alot. He bought it for $400 and only had to replace one fender, it was wrinkled bad and beyond repair. Outside of that we repaired everything. Cut out rusted areas, brazed in new metal and did the rest with body filler. Had alot of repairs to do inside the bed and I should have taken pics before he put the Herculiner on but it slipped the grasp of the camera. Had two different colors of paint on it. Since he did it on a serious low budget we painted it with Van Syckle paint that he got for a discount where he works (Big R Supply). I am anxious to see how the shine holds up on it. Hey for less than a $50 paint job it was a gamble and it looks awesome right now anyway. Like I said, it was a really small budget he had and I tried not to throw in to much money. It was his project so the main thing I have invested is alot of sweat and fun.
