Drove it 2wd while I looked for a Toyota front axle, then the upper control arm ripped off the frame coming into the driveway. Swapped the Toyota axle in 5 nights after work outside in the winter, brr. Great little truck!!

    The first vehicle that was mine to drive was my Grandpa's yellow Chevy LUV..I loved that truck. My mom's mom and dad went all over the country in that truck with a camper on the back. Grandpa had a shop and a junkyard on the side of his house he had welded up a 50 gallon tank for that truck.
    My dad randomly took it away and gave it to his business partner for the partners daughter to drive. She wrecked it in a month.
    The replacement was a Datsun F10 hatchback. It looked like a mini Gremlin somebody had put a series of stripes on the back quarter panel like a gremlin. It was the first front wheel drive that was in fairly large circulation.
    Racing through neighborhoods with my friends that little Dotson was faster because it pulled through the corners with that front wheel drive. I still prefer drifting with rear wheel drive though.

But the two things he never skimped on were spark plugs and brake shoes/pads. He said if you bought cheap plugs, you'll be buying them again not much later. He drove a procession of old bangers while we were kids but they always started, always ran well, and always stopped when you needed them to.

    Love the channel, drove a 75 baby blue Chevy Luv. Timming chain tensioner failed and sent the chain right out of the case. Three months later, found a Luv on the end of a tow truck, followed the truck to the local wreckers and convinced the yard's owner to let me buy and remove the cover and borrow his tools. All of this while on the clock (boss wasn't happy I was missing with company truck for a few hours). Got her running that night, little Isuzu motor wouldn't quit. 1983, 18 and back in business. 20 bucks lighter and big ass chewing from the boss. Couldn't explain how I came back to the job greasy. Loved cruising that little truck.

    I customized a 1972 LUV back in the 70's. Sun Roof, dual outside exhaust, fender flares and front air dam, white paint with Hugger Orange and Chevy Blue Graphics. We did a large spider on the hood. It would run 100MPH with the Overhead Valves and a .015 Head Shave. Drove it until I sold it to another car guy. It was one of the most fun rides to drive I ever had. Good Luck on this new project.
