Effing brilliant mate!!! I always wondered what the history of this vehicle type was, and being English myself, I was very surprised to learn that it was based on Austin UK motors. Very surprised to learn how popular it was in USA. Nice video and good luck with the projects you take on. Ignore those dead heads who just want to annoy you. They used to drive Cadillacs. Cheers from New Zealand have a lovely day :)
Thank you!
Made by Isuzu. I had one of these 1976 Luv trucks around 1980, but mine was orange with white camper shell. Handy little trucks but gutless, really bad in a hilly city like Seattle where I lived at the time. Wouldn't be bad as a spare vehicle for occasional duty for hauling stuff.
The only woman who is going to want to get in that car, with its pungent mouse pee smell, is a cat woman .. i'm just sayin
Haha well it doesn't smell like that anymore and my wife loves driving it.
What are using
Shine Juice made by Poppys Patina.
That's not a cicada dude
Hahaha
Truck looks amazing however she is worthy of a nice paint job
I do have to agree. Someday I want to do a frame off restoration.
Great Video 👍
Thank you!
Hi Newt - your wiring of that fuel pump is great, but will be better once you've done it 'more righter' !!! HA - love it ! HAAAA - tape the wire to the exhaust pipe ! NEVER change Newt, you are a GEM 🙂. A BRILLIANT video, and how lucky are you to still have your parents around, and even your grandparents - what a treat. Your four generation photographs will no doubt take pride of place in your home. Thanks Newt for all you do - keep em coming ! Take care 🙂
Thank you!
This video is Truly Amazing!!! I loved every minute of it. Love how you got your family involved and that wife of your's never ceases to Amaze me!!! She puts her mind and heart into something and she gets her done 👍 She did Awesome!!! And workin with your Son was so neat to see. I'm sure he's hoping to learn Alot from you. Keep up the Good work & just gotta say too,Your The Best🎉❤
this is what its all about
Hey buddy, guess who? Have a great sunday my friend 🙂
You too sir!
This is what this country is missing. Awsome just awsome
Big truck it needs to be they were car #2 aka the grocery getter 😊
Remember doing brakes on a Met....trick I learned was when bleeding them, you need to collapse the wheel cylinder....push the pistons all the way in....then bleed that wheel....design flaw....the bleeder screw is lower than the brake hose, making it very hard to get air out of the wheel cylinder....almost always a soft pedal if bled normally......pressure bleeding helps too.
You had a nice way to clean the carburetor. At first I thought it looked like a place to put your chili soup with jalapeños on them 103 degree days
Haha
The key turns within the knob.....fuses are on firewall.
Radio is tube..has to warm up. Blinkers need key in on position.
hydrolocked from gas take the plugs out cylinders filling with gas
check each of the solenoids to make they get power only when they should, they are electrically function good, make sure they mechanically fully close and open as they should. Do this on your original ones and the used ones. if you get used ones, put one on at a time and see if there are changes in how it runs. One of the used ones may give you a new different (worse) problem. You seem to have the patience to deal with this form of insanity. :)
Your just Amazing!!! I'm so impressed with how tough this little Luv has been for you and you just keep working away on it!! Plus the Heat & flies are a Pain to deal with and yet you Keep On🎉 I know you can do this and I know you will. Looking forward to seeing what's next. Thanks for being able to joke around while getting frustrated at the same time!!! Proud of you💯
Toyota?
Chevy Luv
isuzu, the first japanese company gm surrendered to... toyota was a couple years later
Hey buddy, I am here 🙂
Never lower your Harley if u want performance
I'm only interested in looking cool. 😎
Also faulty fuel pump? Check/replace that to. A fuel pump, as you know, is like the heart of a vehicle in itself. Just as we all have a heart that pumps blood throughout out bodies, that's exactly what a fuel pump does in a vehicle, car or truck.
While that bed was taken off and standing upright, after yinz were presure washing it and along it to dry woukd have been a good time to spray paint black rust olem paint underneath the bed and on the underneath sides to help ward off rusting and corrosion. Then, painting the top portion of the chassis/frame part also would help to just the same to. Now in days, they have a paint on bed liner that you could also paint to preseeve the inside of the bed and keep it from being scrached and damaged to.
Beautiful looking little truck! Always loved the looks of these Chevy LUV trucks. Wish I could have gotten one of these when I was living in Murfreesboro Tennessee, I coukd have used a nice little truck like this for transportation.
Wish these little trucks were still being manufactured today 2024. Gas prices are way up to 5 dollars a gallon these days, these little trucks were good on gas, and ran beautifully.
Looks good, curious how it will corner now. I have an 07 fatboy and kinda want to lower it.
I've been riding it to work and there are some pretty decent curves on the way. It's honestly not much different. I only lowered the back so it didn't lower the footboards much at all. If I lowered the front now it would make a bigger difference.
@@newtsnostalgia what kit did you get?
I bought it off of ebay years ago for $16 but it looks like they don't sell that one anymore. It was for 2000 to 2014 softails. I'm sure there are similar kits on Amazon and ebay.
@newtsnostalgia I gotcha, thanks man.
Bit of oil on the side stand wouldn't go astray....
Good call.
Herpes?
I better check.
“I’m not even mad, I’m impressed” best line ever!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha
Once again,an Awesome Job 💯 That was so Good to watch and see all you got accomplished !!🎉 Also all the stress and receding hairline is worth it!! (Altho,I have not noticed the receding hairline😊 Lookin forward to seeing it all finished and ready for Gavin to drive 👍
Nice
WELL DONE Newt - I knew you could do it, although I would have set fire to it hours ago ! I've had cars with silly problems like that and it really tests your patience, so just walk away and come back tomorrow and try something else. It's a great feeling when you hit that EUREKA moment though. I repair mechanical clocks as a hobby, and sometimes it's such a minute adjustment that makes all the difference. Anyway, thanks for sharing all your frustration with us - as always it's fun to hear you chatting away, knowing we are all shouting back at you. Thanks for the entertainment Newt - it's fun. Take care 🙂
Thank you! I was stressing because I knew I couldn't just keep posting videos doing the exact same things over and over forever 🤣. We aren't done though, we still have to make sure it runs good with all the emissions equipment hooked up. Thanks for the support!
What there 4
Congratulations! A resurrected LUV, what joy. Your son has a constant smile. When can he drive it? Gonna get a new steering wheel?
He can drive it soon. We still have some work to do to make it reliable. You think we need a new steering wheel? Haha. We have a replacement for it.
Looking good!
Hey buddy :-)
Always the first! I appreciate you!
@@newtsnostalgia Always nice to pay a visit 🙂
You ain’t lying about thanking God for them crash bars. I can’t tell ya how many times they’ve saved my 950lb behemoth from cracking the hard bags or tank not to mention my leg and ankles!✌🏽
Those brakes are a bear, fighting you every step of the way. But you persevered! Good on you! My Daihatsu has 12 inch tires.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate you!
thats a silly idea now you will scrape easier on corners now AND CAUSE YOU TO RUN OFF THE ROAD over the imbankment launchin like super man in the air be carfull it will be different then stock cock knob standard
But I'll look cooler doing it and I was able to run off the road at stock height anyway!
Hey newt, nice bike!!!! To many toys, 😂😂😂😂😂 just messing with ya.
Haha never!
Harley-Davidson ❤️🔥👊
You're a genius!
I wouldn't go that far! Haha
That’s actually a Kawasaki. My Dad has the same one exact same one people call a Harley Davidson it looks like it but yeah, it’s a Kawasaki
🤣🤣🤣
@@newtsnostalgia ?
This bike is 100% Harley Davidson from the frame to the tires.
@@newtsnostalgia I’ve seen a Kawasaki that looks like that it could be a Harley Davidson
UR A BMUDSSA
You have a mighty good lookin' family! Your Mother was smiling non-stop and so was I! Don't park it under a tree, the birds will poop on it! You are one awesome son! That wrap-around rear winow was an option, I think. The cheaper ones had a rear window in three sections. Did you show us the swamp cooler in a previous video?
Thank you! No I haven't shown the swamp cooler before this video.
I'm really shocked how few subscribers you have. You are funny. That Metropolitan is a star. I have subscribed and hit the like button.
Man that really means a lot. Thank you!
Run, baby, run! Come on! Run!
That's what the kick stands for.
Now you tell me! 😅
I think more people done that than they will let people know just saying good for you for showing it. It happens. It sucks, but it happens.
I was checking it out a few times but left the kickstand down and forgot I put it up that time lol
