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.

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

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

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).
