Squeek, if i read your post right, your wondering if anyone ever put a luv dash in an s10? id say the answer is no. the metal framing is welded in the truck. and the majority of the foam covering the frame is cracked just as bad as mine. no one is making reproduction dashes.

Oldskool94 · 02-19-2009, 11:05 AM

yeah looks good glad your not rushing it.

Squeek · 02-19-2009, 11:31 AM

hmm damn.. i need to find a trashed one, and have it cut out

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-19-2009, 12:24 PM

dad started making me some 5 lug hubs...

Mystic_Knight · 02-19-2009, 12:33 PM

Wow. Your dad looking to adopt a 36 y/o son?

Oldskool94 · 02-19-2009, 12:47 PM

wow thats some sweet stuff he do that at home or work?

90blueS10 · 02-19-2009, 02:43 PM

wow, thats.. thats...

i dunno what to say.. its so beautiful and shiny

greencactus3 · 02-19-2009, 04:08 PM

Isn't there a guy in austrialia that does dashes? it costs like 600 bucks, at least 2 or 3 years ago, might be 8 or 900 now.

I am a member of luvtruck.com also.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-19-2009, 04:30 PM

I dont think he does them anymore. Dont think he sold many. Id pay a grand for one easy. And i think both hubs are done. I bought new rotors so hes gotta redrill them too

90blueS10 · 02-19-2009, 09:53 PM

NevurMind85 · 02-19-2009, 10:22 PM

hell id love to have a luv dash in my truck.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-19-2009, 10:24 PM

he made them to where it should actually push the wheel in almost 1/4"... they will be finished tomorrow. he needs my rotors to finish them.

Oldskool94 · 02-19-2009, 10:32 PM

looks really good.

thenephilm · 02-19-2009, 10:35 PM

those are so pretty lol...im jealous of your dads skills

BarelyGettinBy · 02-19-2009, 10:45 PM

My neighbors got a luv same year and about the same shape as yours im debating on buying he dont have a title for it and Im not sure how to go about getting one

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-19-2009, 11:39 PM

90blueS10 · 02-20-2009, 02:14 AM

dude, you wanna come to kansas and work on my truck for a couple weeks?

lol, and why are you having the new hubs pull the wheel in further?

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-20-2009, 09:25 AM

because on my old truck it just had a 1/2" spacer on it to make it 5 lug and it sat out a little further than the fenderwell. so now, itll be in almost 3/4" from this pic.. plus itll have a little bit shorter and narrower tire.

90blueS10 · 02-20-2009, 02:33 PM

he cant just drill them for 5 lug?

Oldskool94 · 02-20-2009, 04:47 PM

rrray88sdime · 02-20-2009, 07:57 PM

mmm ive always loved the luvs. theres one in charlotte, baby blue, decent shape, just sitting behind a dudes shop. i believe its 4wd cause its got some huuuge hubs on the front of that sucker, but it doesnt sit as high as a 4wd i dont think but maybe its just me, but ANYWAYS, your old truck was gorgeous, i hope you make this one just as beautiful. good luck bro

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-20-2009, 11:12 PM

thanks

heres what i got done today... some pics are off phone cause i didnt have camera with me...

had this rocker replacement screwed in over the factory rusted to shit rocker. didnt know it was so much work...

all this minus the paper towels was in the rocker

other rust spot

rust up here.. cut it out and replaced

does anyone see a reason why i cant close up all these?

where i left off for the night

V8Blaze · 02-20-2009, 11:16 PM

progress looks great. I dont see why you cant weld those shut. Im sure they are for stock ac/heat and possible access to windshield wiper arms but im unfamiliar with the luv's layout of parts like that

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-20-2009, 11:20 PM

all wiper parts are inside the cab.

if i put heat n ac back in itll be aftermarket, so i dont know if id need those???

scootch · 02-21-2009, 01:35 AM

pumpernickle

91S10BlownSBC · 02-21-2009, 01:47 AM

You dont need them, they are for the stock fresh air vent on the S-10, i assume thats what there for on the LUV. I welded mine up on my S10

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-21-2009, 01:57 PM

well i found another luv truck. going to look at it tomorrow. only wants 200 for it. he says it has the typical rust, but the bedsides are in good shape and the bedfloor has holes in it from being cut. has a dana rear end under it as well. so as long as the bedsides are actually in good shape, im going to buy it for the bed and rear end. maybe cut the passenger rocker off if its in good shape, and whatever else i need/can sell for moneys. then put my old parts on it and send it off to the junk yard.

SHROP · 02-21-2009, 02:03 PM

awesome, looks like things are rollin right along

scootch · 02-21-2009, 02:33 PM

where is the other one located

NevurMind85 · 02-21-2009, 04:55 PM

if you do that cut the dash out and send it to me. thats if the luv dash is even wide enough to fit in an s10.

Oldskool94 · 02-21-2009, 05:22 PM

damn you work on this thing alot. lookin good!

your wanting just the metal framing for the dash? cause it has an actual foam or whatever dash that covers the whole thing... but i can cut it out and send it to ya for some moneys... thats if i get the truck, and how it looks. it says something about an aluminum dash, so it may be diff. not sureeee.

Quote: Originally Posted by STL_DRGN

yeah im doing whatever i can thats free. i only have 14 dollars tied up into the truck right now.. and thats cause i bought wheel studs for my new hubs. im hoping in a few months ill have the blaze paid off.. that or ill just start buying parts for the truck lol.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-21-2009, 05:57 PM

factory dash...

how mine was with factory dash removed. just the metal framing and a dash overlay on top.

and i think a luv is narrower than a s10.. ill measure it just to see.

well on the way back from looking at that luv. It was in worse shape than mine. Didnt even have a dana rear end in it. Buncha backwoods mother ****ers too. Was of damn time

SHROP · 02-22-2009, 02:26 PM

thats sucks.. well better luck next time.

90blueS10 · 02-22-2009, 02:44 PM

oh well man, ive looked at a couple camaros that i found on craigslist.. a couple hours away... man you could see the dash through the quarter panel, frame rails were gone, floor pans were gone, fenders, hood, trunk, it was ... bad

almost bought it though lol

85S10Project · 02-22-2009, 03:21 PM

wow dont see many of these around anymore up here if you can find one its nothing but rust good luck looks good so far

93blazer4dr · 02-22-2009, 04:37 PM
