Here's a few of the old truck with the buckets installed and rims and tonneau cover on....

hey hey nice truck

what seats are those from they look pretty good in there

your truck has the same big ass side mirrors mine have, fold them in and youll get better gas mileage..haha i wanna get some of those smaller ones from http://www.luvrestoration.com for like 34 bucks a pair

I got the seat for free from a guy here in town.. they are supposed to be from a mid 80's Astro Van...i'd like some sportier mirrors myself but the great big holes from these mirrors will be hard to fill

thanks for the comments

yah do you know if those mirrors were a factory option or aftermarket part

and also is your truck lowered at all or stock

An old timer body shop trick to fill big holes is to leave the bolt in but not tight. Leave it loose enough to weld around the threads where it meets the surface of whatever its going through. Then just use a cut off tool to whack the eccess off and grind it smooth. Or if you dont have a welder you can dimple the hole with the round end of a ball peen hammer and use fiber glass fabric/resin and body filler. Used both methods on my Luv.

Nice truck by the way. I dont think Ive seen it before. Those are astro van seats alright. Ive seen enough of them to know.

Looking goood RB

thanks everyone...

the mirrors are not stock but were on it when i got it...

the truck hasn't been lowered. it sits on some 15" rims with 50 series tires and that's it for suspension mods..

as for the holes int the doors, a trick i learned from aircraft work is to dimple the hole it and squeeze up a steel countersunk rivit in the hole... usually works good and is permanent...

nice looking Luv!!! where did you get the tonnue cover at? i'v been looking for one but I can't find them anywhere.

the tonneau cover is for an s-10 and it is a bit small. it's about 1 1/2 too narrow and and 1 or so too short.. but it will work for now.

hey bob i have smaller mirrors on mine and those holes are easy to fill i think it took me like 10-15 min. per door. i used fiberglass with fiberglass resin. if i knew how to put pics on here i would so you

i just noticed that they are the same mirrors that are on my 83 pup, i like them cuz they are BIG

yeah they look ok and give good visibility.. wouldn't mind something sportier though

lookin good... i like the wheels and the seats look good as well


i like the style of your door panels..

those are factory base model saddle color door panels... getting those replaced when i can.. gotta cover those giant holes in the door..

and thanks..
