1980 Chevy LUV 4x4 - PART 2 - Let's start on the fuel and brake system!

[@BFVgnr]

Those Chevy Luvs are the perfect size truck. Just big enough to move what you need, not so big that you're spending half a check in gas. Between those and the Ford Couriers, I think they were the best compact truck designs ever. I miss the 80s.

[@danbasta3677]

I quite agree. And I also loved the 521 series Datsun/Nissan trucks to which were really good looking little trucks and ran extremely well, easy to work on to.

[@saltynlit]

Love that luv! Been waitin' on more of it!

[@LeeSmith-zt5ug]

I would love to take it right now

[@ruckseed]

I used to get a kick out of showing folks the Toyota Luv key,Isuzu valve cover,and Chevy all over.

[@rexkean]

Wow! Everybody but Iceman! (Unless you count the intro 😂) Sucks about the gas tank. Merry Christmas to all of you!

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

He's out of town with his family, but Merry Christmas!

[@mikewilliams2072]

I removed fuel tank from my Scout and strapped the tank to my tractor and jacked it up, put couple hands full of gravel and nuts and bolts in it and let it rotate about 30 minutes! After removing it it looked like a screen door, had to scrape it!

[@jerrysagle2577]

Older S10. Tanks are about the same. N I believe datson pick up n Ford courier. Tanks will fit to. Or. Check ur local radiator . Shop. See if they can boil it in hot tank . An repair it. Luv watching you all.

[@josephschaekel5293]

Just Googled 1981 Isuzu Chevrolet Luz 4×4 fuel tank and found some available at various places and cost . Ebay had some listings wish I could help more . Good luck and happy Holidays

[@josephschaekel5293]

Upon concluding watching the video, I agree with Garth ,upon further research I only found the one he spoke of . Its truly not worth that ebay price. One can be fabed up for a lot less. It would be great to see you fab one up . That will give me insight on building one for my project so I can save money as well.

[@edwinbonnelljr1587]

You go in between the bumper and the bed with a wrench that reaches all the way down and you screw it up❤❤

[@VintageTinGarage]

I had one of those in my younger days. Loved it, we did a 5 state camping trip in it with our dogs. Its was slow and underpowered. Great memories.

[@JackieKeesee83SS]

Love it even more 4x4😊

[@JamesAndersen-w2y]

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

[@jeffpowers2916]

Just replace the hard lines for the brakes and fund some rubber lines that you can make work. Would think it would be easy to find some rubber lines to make work.

[@grantmelcher1830]

Had a 76 in high school

[@1954shadow]

That LUV, would look great in my driveway, lol.

[@billgaines8207]

[@edshinndesign]

Good evening.

[@grantmelcher1830]

Merry Christmas!!!! Can’t wait to see that Luv on the road! I’d luv to win it😅

[@conorcuomo4283]

Tanks Inc. Universal Fuel Tanks U3-GP that might fit

[@richardledsome7967]

Had a few of these years ago but the frames never lasted here in wv

[@1954shadow]

Holy cow, almost 19K subs, way to go and, keep goin’!

[@TurboDog73TX]

You may try looking for the tank for a Later model Isuzu P'up, or even all the way up to the early 90’s trucks, the last of the actual Isuzu built trucks imported. I have a '93 Isuzu, and it shares some components that could be retrofitted. If You wanna keep stuff "original" sometimes You've gotta think outside the box..

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

This is a split year model, round headlights. It has to be first half 1980 or earlier. Aftermarkets aren't produced, sadly.

[@James182nj.s]

good luck on your search.. love the luv. keep the content coming.

[@jamesmallinger9555]

Always happy to see the kiddos and I hope you find that gas tank ❤LoveJim J&R mobile service and God Bless y'all and your critters

[@intentsmodz]

Merry Christmas Garth & Family, hope all the best to you & yours. . . . Might be a better idea finding a tank in the junkyards, there's got to be a better one out there. Good luck.

[@jasonjones5213]

[@lonmcclellan2414]

You need to remove the bed on the luv. To see what is going on. Lon from Ohio...

[@edwinbonnelljr1587]

[@debbiebermudez5890]

Mr. B. Here ! 🍩🍩☕️☕️😎👀👍. That tank RIP ! Sorry

[@edwinbonnelljr1587]

Shell gas tank with water and then you can weld on to that otherwise you'll have a nice bomb on your hands❤❤❤❤❤

[@ELOfanatic]

So it's as bad as the Bog of Eternal Stench, is it?

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

That was Viv's description and idea 🤣

[@mikequinlan3697]

[@mikequinlan3697]

@@garthsgraveyardgarage I had a thought if the gentleman who gave it you is still with us,give him a ride in it,for christmas

[@bruceeggleston2871]

I have a 79 chevy luv drive train but no body to put it in nor idea on what 4x4 set up parts are

[@ちょた-y4i]

こんにちは、私も ボディを４インチ リフトアップ して乗っていました。とても懐かしいです！GOOD LUCK！

[@ちょた-y4i]

Thank you!!

[@conorcuomo4283]

Use tank from other manufacturers that close to it do AMC other manufacturers left over lol

[@jasonhendricks3340]

When is the giveaway and how do I enter? I recently picked up an 81 luv 4x4 for $600. EVERYTHING WORKS!! Needs a little work but all in all I'm 100% happy

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

If and when we hit 100k subs!

[@johnogan2386]

You need to build a new one like with some aluminum or something to show the rest of the KZbin World it can be done

[@jamiepattersoniwantthecar3512]

Early Chevy S10 are the same as Chevy Luv

[@danbasta3677]

Quite correct as they to had Isuzu engines in them. That's what the Chevy LUV truck is, a Isuzu truck built for Chevy. LUV stood for light Utility Vehicle.

[@richardrupe]

I'm an old ASE master mechanic.But it's been years.Give your son in law a chance.It's not hard to tell he's lazy,but try.

[@mehGyver]

you find a tank yet?

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Not yet... Probably going to build one.

[@davidstennett9246]

Amazon Has something close 119.00 80 Isuzu truck

[@CrustyKustomsGarage]

Hey guys! I am fixing up a Luv on my youtube page and bought a wrecked parts truck with 58k miles on it. It is a 1975 2wd Luv. If the fuel tank is the same it is in VERY good shape and you can have it for $250/ obo plus the actual shipping cost. Let me know if you are interested in it.

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Responded to your email!

[@WalterThayer-r7n]

Use s10 parts

[@richardrupe]

Try a little harder,you can find a tank.That think is worthless.

[@daveduce4288]

You like to pick on your new son-in-law don't you

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

That's what he's here for 😁

[@BobPrice-zx7kr]

I don't know why you couldn't get a tank in a junk yard unless you don't have any

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

The ones we're finding in junk yards are in the same condition as ours.

[@LoriTwichell]

😑

[@khb3892]

Check out AMD tank for the Chevy/GMC 63-72 part# 890-4063-17RS . Hope this helps.

[@Manaheap]

I don't know if the Luv has a name, I would suggest Joe. Not sure if anyone remembers Joe Isuzu from 80's Isuzu commercials. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Isuzu
