Well the 76 is out of moth balls now! Still have one more trip to the smog shop to have the fuel cap tested, but shes ready! We cruised it up to the dam earlier this afternoon, runs like a top :D

Thanks! Well thats one of em anyway.. We're a 2 LUV family now :D lol Hey it drives great, and I got under $750 into it. Im happy.. This is my new daily driver in fact. (the sonoma is for sale) - i figured since I didn't own one for about 2 years, im going to drive one everyday till the guilt wears off or at least till the other one is done. When the Sonoma goes, I wont have a truck payment, less insurance cost, and less operating costs, that money will go into the other LUV. I also have my eye on a 73 LUV just a couple towns over, he might budge and give in to my $100 offer, we'll see, crossing my fingers.

Hell yeah! Retro all the way! If the interior wasnt so thrashed (dash, rips in seat) it would be like stepping into a time machine! I like this truck more than my old LUV so far!

My mom and dad's 77 Chevy van was a one of a kind paint job. Everyone knew that was my mom coming down the street. She liked being recognized too. She always liked being able to find it easily in a big parking lot.

it is the Desert Tan 8) :D

Hey I saw a trailer in town for sale. Had a tire rack up front, also was a dual axle, looked like it was $1200 but not sure (had a hard time with the sign across 3 lanes :? ) Let me know if you want me to go take a closer look.

Cool thanks for the lead, but thats a bit out of my price range. I was hoping to find one for around $800 or less. Sounds like a nice one though
