My Luv - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

hotrod 80 · 01-14-2008, 05:33 PM

Just thought i'd drop in and ad a Luv to the mix . Here is a pic V-8 , th350 , 9 inch . I'm going heads up against a chassis car/ vega tommorow . He is giving me the " move " for the season opener . Anyway Chevy luv represented .

70rs/ss · 01-14-2008, 08:42 PM

I plan to do this with a newer S10, maybe a BBC.

**special-K** · 01-15-2008, 02:52 AM

COOL!!!Looks like a sleeper with the stock paint and toned-down rallyes.I like those LUVs.I always wanted to build a badass 4wd one with Chevy fullsize parts to stuff it to all the Toyota boys.

Mickey_D · 01-15-2008, 06:27 AM

Ah, reminiscing about my old '79 4X4.....

I'll see if I can find any of the old pics and scan them in (yes I owned it long before the days of digital cameras).

I wondered how long it would take to get a Luv in here & a NICE one too! Thanks for posting it...

70rs/ss · 01-16-2008, 10:51 AM

I have my eye on one down the road from me, nice and original just sitting. I keep fantasizing about a nasty 383 in it!

hotrod 80 · 01-20-2008, 03:31 PM

Thanks guys , i bought this truck off ebay with 4x,xxx miles . Motor and trans where gone . Oklahoma truck , almost rust free . i got the Vega he had problems . I also got scolded pretty bad . That was the third pass in the rollbar zone . They told me " you will slow down until you have the proper safty equipment or you will spectate " . Anyway thanks for the kind words .

Dude your truck is bad@$$!

Trey` · 01-22-2008, 12:19 PM

Awesome little truck, wish I still had my '79 sometimes especially with gas going up.

hotrod 80 · 01-22-2008, 12:42 PM

Thanks Dano .

Trey mines a 78' .

CAL 58 GMC · 01-22-2008, 04:11 PM

When I was 18, I had a 1975 Luv I put a 327 in. man that was one fast truck.

Bishops Trucks · 01-22-2008, 04:29 PM

That's a nice sleeper you have. I've been around a few Luvs when I was younger. They are cool little trucks.

hotrod 80 · 01-22-2008, 05:55 PM

O.k. a few more

At pinks all out ( not chosen )

The motor

**special-K** · 01-22-2008, 09:31 PM

I think 1/2 the LUVs were that color.I love how that makes it more non-descript other than a nicer LUV than you`re used to seeing(if you see one).

Trey` · 01-23-2008, 12:55 PM

That is a nice little truck good rim choice too, still 6 lug?

hotrod 80 · 01-23-2008, 12:59 PM

It's 5 x 4.5 5 lug . I did the toyota rotor conversion .

andresco50 · 01-23-2008, 01:36 PM
