Well I'm going to look at al uv tomorrow with a monza motor and 5 speed in it If I get it I will just have to think small when getting in and out plus I remembered as well as a327 sitting in the back yard I have a 350 with 400 auto on it , both rebuilt sitting in a tow truck that's a parts vehicle although a 275 hp 289 and built c4 still looks attractive by the way has anyone out there in luv land tried that combo lastly ,I see some trucks with single headlights and some double whats the difference ???? year ,mikado model???? as you can see I'm a plethera of luv thoughts Is this how all your addictions started if so have a laugh on me Jim

My obsession has just begun. I had found this site when I was just about to give up on my Luv and Im glad I didnt cause It was going into the paper to be sold. Well I'm not a big help on the whole V-8 Swap but if you look and look and look on here you'll see a vast majority of these guys have done some really cool stuff to their trucks! Yes there are differences on the front ends as far as the headlight configuration goes I have a 75 and it has the dual headlights I think they went to the single headlights in 77 or 78 but Im sure someone will correct me if Im wrong lol I am going to do my V-8 swap this summer (hopefully)

72-77 have dual headlights and 78-80 have single. The mikado was a luxury (oxymoron?? ) option that has carpted interior, cloth seats, different steering wheel (I think) and extra emblems. Another thing is the tailights, the early ones (to 75 I beleive) have them in the lower pan and 76 + have them on the sides of the bed.

My 75 has taillights on the sides and its the orignal bed.

Yea, I can't remember what year they moved the lights up, I thought 76 was the first year but maybe 74???

I think that that the 72 and 73's had the tail lights down low. I know my 75 has the tail lights on the bed.
