also does anyone know where i can buy a relay for my 80 the one that goes connected to the fuel pump that seems like it doesnt work if i fix that my 80 will run like new

they look pretty clean. your gonna have to start putting your first initial up though.there`s more than one nelson on here.or else were gonna confuse them all. later

Ah, another LUV collector. I currently have 10. 2 daily drivers, 4 potential projects, and 4 wrecked/rusted junkers. I just love never having to look for trim or misc parts if I need them.

That relay is a pretty simple part. It seems like one could find a headlamp or off road light relay that would work in its place. I've never had to track one down with my wealth of spares, but seems like it shouldn't be too tough to find something that would work. I'll take a look at the plug pinout and see what our local NAPA place can come up with. That should give us a part number that will cross reference most anywhere. This is one of those "must have" items that tends to go out, so a replacement would be handy, especially one made a little better or newer than the stock replacement.

I like your choice of placement for the guage cluster in the middle. That is totally wasted space unless you want to run that stock LUV AM radio with the single center speaker. (Actually I have a stock AM/FM somewhere around, woo hoo for me!)

lol well i really need that relay thing also does the fuel pump always has to be running while the engine is on?



ohh yeah i never use that center speaker i dont think u can even make one fit there lol well for radio only use that cdplayer 2 OZ 6X9 speakers and 1 8" bazooka in the back seat with a 400W amp

That 80 looks pretty straight to me, I'd say you got a hell of a deal. Out of all those Luv trucks you got to have at least one with a V-8. Man, throw a small block and some spray on that 80 and reach for the stars!

DAMN! You got a hell of a deal Nelson. That was definately worth selling the laptop. You never told me you had 4 Luvs. You need to send one back east for me. Good job, later. Joe

Lookin good bro! That blue one came out real nice. That's the one we just saw primer pics of a while ago, right? I wish I had a place to keep more than one. Apartment life sucks ass!

Nice find.

i bet u Ben i have two and u have one lol jk

LOL!

Dude, you practically stole that thing for $300. The glass looks like it's new.

hey can i bypass that relay thing for the fuel pump?

You can bypass and get a dead truck running, but I would not keep it like that forever. The fuel pump normally runs all the time that the engine is running, but cuts off if the engine dies thanks to that relay. The idea is that in an accident the engine dies and the pump dies with it to prevent feeding a fire under the hood. It could also get ugly if the float valve on your carb leaked a little by when the pump is running. Think intake filled with fuel from the overflow.

Someone else here mentioned an alternative to the relay would be hooking up an oil pressure switch in its place. Does the same thing, just in a different way.

a nice non-rusted out luv is hard to come by now-adays.....
good find!

1980 LUV 4x4, going under re-construction...

This will make you sick... I used to have people GIVE me LUV trucks all the time just because they knew i was into them. I got 2 for free and one I paid $150 for. we're talking complete trucks that just had been sitting in a dirt lot for years. excellent bodies. I used to sell tailgates for $40 and rear ends for $40. I never thought in a million years that it would be so hard to find parts for these things. At some point i even told people NO I dont want your $100 running LUV truck because I have no place to put it. I will now go and kick myself.
