title "parked and forgotten" guy selling in video " we just put a new clutch in it" lol
And the LSxPerts sticker on the eyebrow
"When we parked it" listen to the complete sentence.
M.C. Neal he said his kids put stickers all over the stuff in there
Fail
My uncle had 2 LUVs.....a 1980 and an 1981. Both diesel. Those trucks ran FOREVER. He had well over 300,000 miles on each of them. He ran a welding business. A little history: The LUV (short for Light Utility Vehicle) was the forerunner of the S10. It came out in 70 or 71, I believe. Isuzu built them for Chevrolet, as well as the diesel engines in the ones that had them. Isuzu's version was called the P'UP, a cutesy abbreviation of the word "pickup" . Production ended in early 82, with the S10 making it's debut that fall as a 1983 model. Good luck on your project!!😎
LUV is a cool little truck. But a barn find is when you discover a car in a barn, not when someone advertises a car for sale and it happens to be in a barn.
First truck was a 74 4x4 Luv. Going to enjoy watching this build for sure 👍
Any one else see that guy fall at 15:50😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I had a black 1979 Chevy LUV 4x4 in high school. Luved that truck.
My dad had a 72 luv and that thing lasted. So the story on the isuzu engine was that Chevy wanted to drop a mini truck. They partnered with isuzu because they had the truck already designed so,the badged it as Chevy but the engine had isuzu stamped on it. The Chevy Luv is one of the best looking mini's of all time in my book.
I think so to. I also think the Ford Courrier trucks were super good looking to.
Eventually, in throughout the 90's and early 2,000 the S 10 and Sonomas were powered by Isuzu engines.
I always wanted a tiny truck just to whip around in or a parts getter. Like a courier but these old trucks are hard to find. Lucky to find one
Owayne their all over the pnw
1st and 2nd gen S10's are based off of the Chevy luv. Really good trucks if you take care of them.
@@seancervantes1 And they had Isuzu engines in them to. I've seen a Isuzu Rodio with a v 6 vortec engine from the factory and Chevy rear end on them. Go Figure. The Ford Courrier trucks were pretty nice to have to.
"This is a project I don't need right now." BULLSHIRT! LOL! Y'all want it and you KNOW it! LOL!
Hey Bruce, there’s a guy that lives next to my grandparents that has a 4 x 4 diesel Chevy Luv. He drives that thing every day. Out in Wesley Chapel Florida
Wow...first vehicle I ever owned! 1972 Chevy LUV I bought as a young Airman at Mather AFB, CA. Learned to drive in South FL and never drove a stick!. I learned to manage the rolling hills of Sacramento County but then drove down to San Francisco. Wow! Anyway, thanks for the memories! Nice truck!
I've got a 76 luv .Got it painted and all fixed up.My daddy bought it new.It was white and I painted it red.Love my Luv.😁
i use to have one of them back in the 80's. i have a repair manual for the chevy love truck.
Those were pretty good little trucks. My dad bought a 76 luv in 85 when I was 16 for a work truck I had a lot of fun in that truck watching this video beings back some good memories
I love how you show other channels love and help them by promoting them and what they do! Give good vibes get good vibes!!
My grandpa has a few older chevy luv pickups in his junk yard, one of em still runs im pretty sure
So does mine, he had 3 total, 1 he bought new and tought my mom to drive stick, one for parts and he sold the other to me
I had a 1977 Chevrolet Luv,in 1978 with a 350 SBC with chrome side pipes, was was an awesome utility, have been wishing/waiting for years hoping to see someone in the USA,to find one and build a similar Hot Rod,I built mine with a Stepside Tub,with 14" ×12" Rears,&14" ×8" front Bridge stone TA 60 rubber on cragers,fitted an aluminum full lockup camper on rear in 1980,then was stolen in Brisbane in 03/81,and never recovered, was sadly missed,now after 19 GMH holden HQ-WB one tonners,still miss my little LUV UTE,please Bruce build another great dream truck,with old school SBC 350,with turbo400,Dave McLaughlin, Queensland Australia
Nice truck!! I bought my LUV shortbox new in 1980 and still have it. It's in my garage under cover, no dents and no rust anywhere. All stock and number's matching with 160,000 one-owner miles. ;-)
Really looking forward to this project it is a beautiful truck and it is very clean nice find
Going to need some TLC. To be back to its former glory.👍😉
If only I could have gotten a little truck like this when I was living in Murfreesboro Tennessee, I could have used it. Love the looks of these little trucks from back at that time.
Really looking forward to the series with this cool little truck. I love old little 4 banger pickups.
My uncle has a Luv that looks just like this but restored. VERY cool find, love it.
Great find Bruce. Love your vids.
Good find. Dont expect to find parts laying around everywhere.
I was a Senior in High School 77-78 and remember looking at these when Dad would get our Olds Serviced at the GM Dealer
I don't think it counts as a barn find unless it's been in a barn for 20 years. Just cause you park something in a barn for 6 months doesn't make it a barn find
I have a soft spot for these trucks. My Dad had a 79 Chevy LUV 4x4 in blue when I was younger. I would love to find one near me in that good of condition.
Never seen a Chevy Luv in person lol . Showing your age son.
I'm way younger than him and I've seen one 🤣😂
You’ve got some good connections to find that👍
“I’m excited” .... if this goes anything like that white truck build, that excitement will turn to disappointment F A S T
The cabover is turning out great, though.
Good one he will spend a shit ton of cash on cosmetics then new tires brakes gas tank paint whole 9 yards then pull the motor be waiting on parts ffg or year or 2
I ain't never even heard of this type of Chevy. I've always wanted a 77 to build up for fun. Might have to see if i can find myself one. Cool looking truck.
It's an Isuzu truck
@@yeahitskimmel so your saying it's more American because it's isuzu rebadged with Chevy logo? Thanks captain obvious.
My dad had a Luv back in 77. It was red with white wagon wheels. I drove the daylights out of it. I would sneak off and drive up Campbell's Creek constantly. Loads of fun--no power at all.
Whistlindiesel buys 57 GMC, Bruce: guys we gotta find a old school pickup like NOW!!!!
Hayden Hayden be bitter
A 57 GMC truck and an Isuzu mini-truck Chevy Luv have about as much in common as Dwayne Johnson and you do
And destroys it!!! I hate those guys with a passion. At least Bruce starts with junk and it remains junk.
My neighbor has a 72 Chevrolet luv all orginal only 42,000 orginal miles i like them little trucks can't wait until this one is done.
Put it back in the barn
I had a 1976 Chevy Luv Mikado, my first truck!!! They are fun!!!!
Awesome find man! Can’t wait for the videos to come. Hoping you do a reaction video showing your dad the truck like you did the Flatty 👍🏼
My dad had one when I was a kid in the 70's. We had a C.B.and a intercom set up for the back camper shell to the front cab. I thought this was high tech stuff as a kid and have great memories riding in the back. Those fun simple days of the 70's!
I used to have a chevy luv with a 400 sbc and full size axles so this truck brings back memories bro
Brings back find memories of my childhood, my Dad had one and traded it in for the Isuzu KB as they were know in South Africa. Exactly the same vehicle but with a C190 Isuzu diesel engine.
Do it properly. Strip it down to it's last nut & bolt . Clean & refurbish and only then reassembled it.
So Cool. this was my first truck also! I loved My Luv!
My first truck was a 74 Ford Courier with a Toyo motor, 5spd. Luved it.
I like the Ford Courrier trucks to. They were good dependable trucks.
Dude that is so fun to whip around. I use to have 1 too but I gave it to my cousin
Oh mannnnn.
Chevy luv trucks are not forgotten on accident.
Nice your dad will love it thous nice little trucks
Bought a 77 Luv in 78 ( 0 mile leftover ) for I think $ 3400. bright yellow with white spoke wheels. Fun little truck.
I learned how to drive in my dad's 75 luv track ,It had a 400hp 355 sbc 9"rear and a turbo 400 with a nasty shift kit. My favorite thing on it was the chrome side pipes,It was lowered a little with some forward rake, tubbed out a little with 12" wide tires on the back and skinny's up front.He wrecked it driving it in the rain it hydroplaned off into a christmas tree farm. Man I miss that little truck
Looks like a nice little old pickup truck! I hope you restore it!
I worked at a Chevy dealer when these 1st came out. The dealer was "willing" to stock two or 3 of them at a time as he didn't want to get "stuck" with something that didn't sell. The first 2 years or so they had dual front headlights not single as in later years. When I worked in parts department, Luv parts were only stocked in 1 GM warehouse in Oregon or Washington, and 1 other warehouse in Georgia I think. Getting the parts always took a few extra days. When the S10 came out in 81 they still had the Luv that year as it's final year here I think. Sometimes I would have to move one in the lot and if it was sitting on ice in the winter with no weight in the back it took some time to reach hard pavement.
Its not a bad looking little truck considering its been in a barn for who knows how long. Looks like most the rust is minor. All those spots can be roved and replaced. Cool little truck dude
i scraped so many of those trucks back in the eighties ! i had one it was baby blue original clean no motor it just needed a v8 in it but i never got around to it !
I just started a similar project. Mine is a 1980 Dodge D50. Love the old mini trucks!
I’ve got a 1980 4x4 Luv and a 1979 Parts truck. I also had a 1981 4x4 Luv but sold it a few years ago. I’ve got some videos on my channel of them.
Cool! love the front hood!
i hope this baby sounds nice because that would be a bonus
I'm so glad I found this channel since day 1 of the cab over will it start video. Been watching pretty much every upload ever since! Easily my most favorite youtuber, thanks Bruce for making such exciting videos man!
ROADKILL would have driven it home
pramhippy with no hood!!!
Wow! I grew up with one of those luv trucks. Road from Atlanta to the outer banks NC, under a tarp. When I was 8 or 9 then road in the back ATL to DC We had a cab on it for the trip. Lol! Country ass shit! Parents get arrested these days for that. Great truck!
My brother had a LUV. Lifted with mudders. It was a nice truck.
Japanese truck, with a bowtie.
Looking so forward to this one
I had one! Fun little trucks!
Ive got one...79 love it
Bruce, you sound very sick. I use to work as a line mechanic for Chevrolet dealerships in the 1970's. Saw many Luv trucks with timing chains that failed. The adjuster shoe would fall out. They can be tricky to replace so they will stay put.
That's a 79 or 80 luv.... Only those 2 years had the single headlight still a nice find but a 77 what have had 4 headlights 👍
LOVE FROM MALAYSIA
If Pops doesn’t want it, I’ll buy it. I’m in CA.
Jones racing and the Frankenstein parts are top notch.
We got these over in the UK, badged up as a Bedford KB.
My first vehicle was 1972 LUV truck. Wish I still had it.
We have them same engines in Holden Geminis in Australia 🇦🇺 👍
That's awesome I got an 79 Chevy luv the only year they came from facrory
my buddy owns a body shop and a Viper that came in after an accident. he removed 46 mm of shims from the front fenders from the factory. Body panels on vipers weren't straight from the factory.
Ya ought to try n pick up that 1st viper. Those things are worth money
My very first vehicle was an 1980 Chevy LUV. it was a good truck. It survived me beating on it as a teenager. lol
Classic Industries sells just about any body panel you would want for it.
Dub Coco not for a LUV
The way that door shut. ❤️. And a first Gen Viper. Oh wow 💯
Oh no..... Looks like like I need to drag my Viper up here.
I have an 85 isuzu P'UP diesel, they're fun little trucks.
I know where there is one of these in New Orleans - it's been sitting there for at least 4 years. It's in better shape than this one in the video.
The bed is in great shape
used them as MP vehicle at Beaufort SC back in late 70s and early 80s.
I live about 20minutes from these guys, I wish I could have stopped by to meet y’all.
My uncle has two of those sitting behind our machine shed in Iowa rusting away
At least it rolls free, no locked up axles or brakes
Hi its similar to the Mazda b2000 which was very popular here in new Zealand back in the day
Just say NO
Another half assed rush project coming up.............
8:15 I'm gonna steal that Viper.
PLEASE DONT BUTCHER IT!!!! Clean it up and have a sweet little parts runner.
As rare as this truck is, it would be a crime to screw it all up. It should be restored and kept original.
I remember the water department used those in Los Angeles during the 1970’s.
I have 3 of them =) My 79 has a 383 with a stage 1 supercharger.
that's a very nice barn find ,, brings back childhood memories because both my mother and father had one ,,mother's was baby blue 1976 model and father's was a white 1978 model ,,they were very good little trucks although severely under powered by later standards ,,
Good old Brucie walking up to a car that belongs to somebody he just met less than an hour ago and blipping the throttle like it's his own.
Pops has 77. Last time I seen it was in good shape. Been in garage parked for many many years. In cali he will sell
eagerly waiting for next videos
Played with my first boobies in my grandpa’s luv pickup 👍 about 30 years ago.Good times!
