Good day, I have been thinking about buying a 73 luv. The guy wants about$300. I believe that it will need at least one fender maybe both.

I did see awhile back an add in a mag that sold fenders and bumpers and hoods any help to see if this is a wise ne for me. also does not run but I want to do a complete rebuild and either a v6 or 8. I had a luv new in 80 til87 and the only rust I had was on the driver side of the box near the gas cap and the frame rotted their also, is that common.
Well i will keep the search going.

Well that is a good price, however you could spend probably another bill or two and get one that does run. I got mine for $300, drove it home, perfect condition, no rust. But if this is going to be a project truck for you, such as the swap you mentioned then I guess running or not doesn't matter to you. If you can't find body parts online, there are plenty of people on here that can and will find them for you.

thanks for the help, not that many around here.

I dunno they're getting rare these . I'd pay 300 for a roller but i guess it depends on your geographic location too. Here in So Cal you could probably get grand for a rust free straight roller. I remember the days when people used to try to give them to me and I used to say no.

I paid $2000 for mine complete running and registered with a small block and th-350. I think I paid too much for it but I bought it because it was allready set up with a V8 and I figured the money was worth paying to save a head ache on the engine and tranny swap. The body was pretty strait other the front left fender had some rust.

do someone know whare to get new fender for the 72-80 luv?

I think you can get fiberglass fenders through LUVRESTORATION.com. I picked up a fender a few months ago from a wrecking yard for $25.
