Hey everyone, new to the site here and just bought my first Luv. I have always liked these trucks and wanted one, and the chance to snag one up just presented itself so I went for it. Got it from a local guy about 20 mins from where I lived, so worked out great!. Its a 1974 with a 4cyl 4 speed (I believe its a 4 speed anyway). The truck runs, sorta. It was a project truck that hasnt been put all back together, and thats where I stepped in to buy it and get it back on the road. They previous owner has bought a ton of new parts and included them with the sale, so that was nice. There are some parts/pieces missing and that need to be replaced however. I am going to start calling junkyards around Michigan, where I live, but dont think ill come up with a ton of options as these trucks dont seem too abundant. So I found this fourm and will be seeking help and advice from all you more seasoned Luv owners. Here are a couple pics to get us started on what im working with!
There are a few things off hand that I am going to try tracking down first to get it back running and driving, and will then continue with the less important things from there. First, anyone know of a replacement Radiator that will be a direct fit for these trucks? I tried searching for new radiators and came up short. Also, I need a dash pad because mine is missing completely, and I am also missing most of the interior trim pieces as well. Im not even sure what all im missing yet, because I have nothing to compare it to. I will post more pics of my interior later on to get some help on that. Thats enough info to get going for now, so any help and advice will be greatly appreciated!!
