I hear from him every now and then. He still visits the site from time to time. I'll leave it up to him to post details about his personal life, but maybe he'll stop by.
Damn straight! - I am still alive, but I have been busy. I think I am back for a while now, my Nova is now finaly very near completion, that thing sucked years of my time alone, not to mention I got to go through a divorce last year - what fun, and recently bought a new house. But now that my Nova is just about done, I feel the need to search for another LUV truck, dont know why, just want another one to have, I never, NEVER see them anymore and that sucks, such cool trucks. I heard from the guy that now owns my 75, he lives in Sonora, CA and last I heard he was yanking the motor out to repair some major motor mount damage that was done to it by the previous owner (the guy I sold it to) - and for the most part it was still a nice little truck. I lost the guys number, I wanted to call him and ask him to let me know if he ever wants to sell it, the damn thing will follow me to the grave anyway so I might as well just make the effort to regain ownership of it someday. and I understand it is off the smog thing now.
I still keep in touch with Ben and Mike and a couple others on the website now and then, now that I am out of the nova hell I created, I am finding I have more time to play and see whats up in the LUV community. I think it's awesome there is a website that has just about any tid bit of LUV info all in one place, my hat off to Ben for sticking with it so long!
If anyone would like to see the build pics of my rig, just check out my homepage www link below, one cool thing about my 63 is the front tires and wheels are the ones off my LUV, I got them from the guy I sold it too, so in small forms there are little parts of the LUV in it.
