Well I picked up a LUV again finally. Brought it home yesterday. It's a 76 and runs great! Has electronic ignition from a 80. Im looking forward to no points haha. I plan on bagging it eventually and some other stuff.

Funny part is I bought it from Derek Jewett one of the creators of this site. But he said he doesn't get on much anymore.

On to the pics!

Murdered it out yesterday and tried to pull some of the haggard dent out of the bed. It looks a little better. The front is coming down more maybe today or something. Its hard to get the front low on these trucks.


Sanding and prep...

lookin good :wink: , but i cant believe you painted those wheels, those old slot mags are getting hard to find a complete set in that good of shape. :(

like to find a set of 15" for my luv but i gotta figure out to get it back to 6 lug on the rear. people before me put a camaro rear in it, drives good but hate not being able to rotate tires or having to have 2 different spares
