DOes any one know if they(aftermarket) make Euro lenses for the Luv? or does any one know of euro lenses for another car that would fit a Luv with out too much trouble, because i think those would look sweet on a LUV!

I've got 3 sets of LUV tail-light lenses available, all in VERY good condition
**Not aimed at anyone in particular, just throwing that out here****

Rezkid: from I-40, you take the exit for down town, come straight thru and north on hwy 287 to st francis ave, then east one mile, right on echo, 1st thing on left, soon as you turn onto echo, grand total of maybe 4 to 5 miles off of I-40.

Wicked: sent you a PM back

75-80 tail lights are exactly the same except 75-76 have red lenses for the turn signals and 77-80 have amber lenses. The whole lense comes apart into three pieces (tail, signal, reverse) so you can mix and match whatever the best chunks you have are.

The only difference I've seen in the base assembly is that somewhere 78-79 or so they made the rear side marker lights two wire instead of single wire grounded to the body. The wiring harness on the trucks with single wire markers does not have a connector for the ground to those side marker lights.

Yes, he actually owns a vacuum cleaner place and uses it on vacuums to buff out scratches and restore the finish....
