It's been awhile since I've been here, but I'm back. I originally bought a 81 4x4 Luv about 14-15 years ago (sold it about 8 years ago). I ended up doing some trading and acquired a 80 4x4 Luv, 79 2wd lwb Luv, and a 84 Isuzu Pup about 11 years ago. The 80 was originally bought by a friend of mine from a junkyard and we got it running and he eventually got tired of it and I got it. The motor was tired in it and it was very rusty. After I got it I swapped in the g200 from the 84 Isuzu. I wheeled it a little and then it sat for years. Now it's time to get it somewhat functional again. Its too rusty to put back on the road unless I found another body, but we have several acres and it has proven to be a useful utility yard truck.

Here is the 80 and 81 about 12 years ago.

I just scanned through a few of those vids. That truck is hammered! Perfect for a ranch truck. Cool that you have kept it going. I see that it was an A/C truck once apon a time. Do you have the compressor? They are hard to find and you might be able to sell it to someone.

yeah, it has sat outside and has a leaky sunroof. Wasn't nice to the body. My 79 parts truck is actually worse though lol. I think it was from the rust belt. I think I do still have the AC compressor still bolted up to the old engine.

I've seen trucks with holes in the floor and the like, but I have never seen the door rusted out like that, inside- vertical- along the rubber seal, near the door hinges. That's a new one for me.

Not only the door but the cowl fresh air intake channel part is completely rusted out so any rain that comes into the cowl vent goes strait to the floors. Oh and those rested out floors are the floor patches I put in 10 years ago. I'll patch it again and probably just put over those patches. lol
