[ProJecT] Feel the LUV

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-07-2009, 07:42 PM

Was on craigslist at work yesterday. stumbled across a 76 LUV.. ive wanted another luv ever since i sold my first one. so i handed the dude 350$ and we took the bad boy home!! no real plans set in yet.. v8 for sure, maybe mustang II front clip, will be backhalfed so might as well do full frame. will not be bagged. but i gotta spend 3500 before any work starts on the thing.. so im just dreamin of what i wanna do right now haha... anyways heres pics of the pile.

SHROP · 02-07-2009, 07:45 PM

looks like you have some work ahead of you lol

rebels10 · 02-07-2009, 08:03 PM

90blueS10 · 02-07-2009, 08:45 PM

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-07-2009, 11:49 PM

ive been thinking about it.. i think the coys are going to go on the LUV.. if they do i want to get the rears widened. i was thinking of narrowing the fronts, but i think ill leave them alone.

im thinking of running s10 front clip... unknown rearend. measuring outside to outside of tires on luv to my blazer.. the blazer is about 1" narrower so that will be good.. it was a rough measurement in the dark...

layinlow88 · 02-08-2009, 12:23 AM

whatever you do, make sure it involves girls, beer, peeing in butts and most of all.. lots of pics!!

beaniebmx · 02-08-2009, 01:33 AM

pictures of the girls and the butts, but not the pee

i luv the luv, probably why they call it the luv.

2 of them at the junkyard i sat in one wishing i could take a brand new one off the showroom floor

and the damn thing runs.. wasnt getting power to the coil. so we jumped it to battery. sprayed starting fluid in it and it roared to life. has a fuel problem tho.

90blueS10 · 02-08-2009, 07:20 PM

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-08-2009, 11:10 PM

manual 5 speed

blazerxtreme18 · 02-09-2009, 01:10 AM

wow gunna be a cool project..cant wait to see more

***sdime98*** · 02-09-2009, 10:38 AM

this one is hurting for a v8 manual.....5 speed would suffice.

leadsled2020 · 02-09-2009, 11:20 AM

SFBD and 22's FTW!!

***sdime98*** · 02-09-2009, 11:30 AM

The Griff · 02-09-2009, 11:42 AM

Mild 350/M-22 4speed would be better IMO. I'm going to subscribe to this one

looks like a good project man.

greencactus3 · 02-09-2009, 11:55 AM

good luck! always liked those things

slonlow2000 · 02-09-2009, 12:03 PM

Subscribed for sure

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-09-2009, 12:14 PM

Thanks.. Its getting auto for sure. Nothings swaying me from that so dont bother lol.

I called around some eairler n i can get an s10 clip for 150. So when im ready to start buying parts im gonna get that. N its only gonna cost 400 to get my rear coys widended to where i want them

fiveinchbodydrop · 02-09-2009, 12:24 PM

nice
im building this one for my wife...almost completely rust free!(save for the wheels and gate

) i'll start a thread once i get my frame table done

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-09-2009, 02:04 PM

damn that one is in pretty good shape. cant wait to see the build up for it.

GreatWhite00 · 02-09-2009, 02:08 PM

Sweet as shit.

Oldskool94 · 02-09-2009, 02:50 PM

what are you gonna do with that black one? and WM your luv needs some tlc.but it will be a sweet project.

fiveinchbodydrop · 02-09-2009, 03:11 PM

dunno if that was directed at me or not... but mine is gettin yota clip(narrowed), stfbd the rest, kmc nova 20x8.5 and 20x10, 2 tone paint, and a few other goodies. have to send the rear (yota) to be narrowed here soon
ive been buyin parts for bout a year and ready to start....just need my table finished!

yeah it was you gonna bag it?

leadsled2020 · 02-10-2009, 01:07 AM

at least some one is doing the SFBD and big billets....

Twisted Minis · 02-10-2009, 03:23 AM

I'll go with you on the static thing. But I vote for a full frame, body channeled even with the bottom, like 4" off the ground. I'd probably go scratch built front, 4-link rear (Satchel style) with coilovers all around.

I've put some serious thought into doing a truck like this.

leadsled2020 · 02-10-2009, 04:01 AM

the funny thing about the luv is that it has one of the stongest minitruck frames out there..... I have known them to handle over 700 hp without twisting... the key is that they are boxed from the front to the rear and have several more crossmembers than other trucks..... the front suspension just sucks ass for baggin.... but are great for static use.... there are no drop spindles made.... but if you have front drums, all you have to do is get the disks and spindles off of a newer yr that has em
