i'll let jess say the price if she wants people to know.

jess, i can't believe you got it so cheap and it has a 350 8O better watch it, i might come up and steal it from you :lol: how's it feel when you floor it ?
i like that you can see the filter. it shows everyone not to even try to fuck with you :D

I found one at a junk yard for $15 (round tube) looks great on my truck :lol: . It’s hard I to find the round tube grilles now but I do find the square tubes from time to time

bcg187! yeah totally keep an eye out for a grille!

oh it's so fun to drive, I love it! I thought manual steering was going to kill me, but it's not that bad at all! and everyone stares like, "what in the...?!" it's great. one guy who jumped me lives in my neighborhood I guess and said he heard it last night when I was driving around, and looked for a car or truck, and then saw a luv, and was like, "no way!!!" haha! he thought it was cool.

yeah I really like the look of the air cleaner sticking out, but I'm gonna have to change that 'cause living in Washington, it's bound to rain and I don't wanna ruin the engine.

There's some sort of charing problem though, I had to ask a few people for jumps today at the gas station and work, but they all didn't mind, they got to admire the truck, lol. They were like, "is that a luv!? with a 350!?" it was great.

I think I need to get a new alternator, the one I've got now is for a regular luv engine. Hopefully that'll cure the charging problem.

next weekend we're going to change the alternator and attempt to fix the spedometer. fun fun

well if you can't tell from my post I"ve got a grin from ear to ear, I love my truck. even my neighbors came out to admire it, and they normally keep to themselves. :D :D :D

thats really cool to hear :D

i know how to fix the air cleaner problem. don't drive it in the rain :lol: get that other block in your chopped one and drive that in the rain :lol: then you'll have 2 luvs :D you could decide each day which one to drive :lol:

i think i have a site bookmarked that has the round tube grills. i'll hafta look for it in the morning. it won't have that bow look like mine but there round tube. personally i think the square tube ones look kind of dumb. hell, with a little work you could probably make one with some tubing from home depot and a welder or soldering.. 8) i'll keep my eyes open for ya.

nothings better than seeing a hot chick in a hot car or truck, even better in a luv :wink: :D

I agree the round looks so much better. I was going to use the round tube from a 88 full size Chevy it has one bend instead of the three but it would need to be cut down to fit. luckily I found an original in great shape at a junk yard, it had a visor too but it was all beat up, I wont to go old school with mine like I had in high school in the late 70's and early 80's

And again you got a great looking truck there
:lol: enjoy
