I am the first to title this truck, but had one owner before me. It was a Mississippi farm truck its whole life. Now it has a clear TN title in my name. The truck is very nice with minimal rust and a very nice original patina on cab and interior. The bed is not original to truck, a tree fell on the other one from what I understand. No damage to frame or any of the bed area. Truck runs and drives, motor starts easily and the three on the tree shifts well. Brakes are OK but make no mistakes it runs and drives like a old truck. The body has some dents, nothing major as you can see from the pictures. There is some rust on right front fender down low but it looks like someone tried to repair it. Engine bay, fire wall, floor pans, steps, doors, and cab corners are in very nice shape as you can see in pictures. The frame is solid with some rust on lower fender next to cab, nothing major. The dash is untouched cut or damaged very nice. The big window is unbroken, all other glass will need to be replaced but rolls up and down easily. Bed needs new floor as you can see and looks like each fender on bed on rear down low has some filler in it as well. I have all 4 original wheels, a seat frame and a bumper for the rear. I drive the truck around town and enjoy it with the family but it is time to let it go. I have put in a new clutch and exhaust engine has miss, not sure what it is but with the orginal 6 cylinder thats in it , it can't be much. This truck is 54 years old, it is not perfect. If you have any questions call me. If you want additional pictures ask for them. If you want to look at it come on. That being said you bid on it, make sure you can buy it, because winning the bid is not an invitation to come inspect it. Bring a trailer because it's yours and $500.00 deposit will be required within 24 hrs. of winning. There is no warranty, of course. My # is 615-499-2960 Ask for Joe. Please no calls after 8:00 pm central time. No text, I'm not in high school. Again, please call with any questions and I reserve the right to end the auction early. Thank you very much.

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Chevrolet LUV Mikado
Sat, Oct 9 2021During the 1970s and into the 1980s, each member of the Detroit Big Three imported Japanese small pickups and sold them with Ford (Mazda Proceed), Dodge/Plymouth (Mitsubishi Forte), or Chevrolet (Isuzu Faster) badges here. Ford developed the Ranger and killed the Courier for 1983 (though Americans could still buy the Mazda-badged version all the way through 1993), while The General axed the LUV after the S-10 debuted in the 1982 model year. Isuzu sold the same truck as the P'up through 1987, though, and we might as well follow up our recent P'up Junkyard Gem with its LUV predecessor. LUV stood for Light Utility Vehicle, and I've managed to spot a handful in the boneyards over the years. This one now resides in a yard in northeastern Colorado. The Mikado trim package included striped seat upholstery and a sporty steering wheel, plus these cool dash badges. As far as I can tell, no LUV Mikado advertising featured any Gilbert and Sullivan tunes. This one is fairly rusty for Front Range Colorado, and it has endured a bed swap from some other small truck. The engine is the 75-horse Isuzu 1.8-liter. Members of this engine family went into everything from Chevy Chevettes to Isuzu Troopers in the United States. Very unusually for a small pickup during the Malaise Era, this one has a luxurious automatic transmission. Acceleration must have been a leisurely affair in this truck. Air conditioning? Unheard of! Someone stuck every one of their lunchtime apple stickers on the driver's door. After 41 years of work, this truck is done. Come on strong in a LUV of your own!

NHTSA closes 4-year GM investigation, issues common sense advisory [w/video]
Thu, Apr 9 2015Since January 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been investigating a possible problem with corroding brake lines in General Motors' GMT800-platform models, like the Chevrolet Silverado and Suburban and GMC Sierra, in states with salt on their roads in the winter. However, as opposed to launching a full recall of millions of vehicles, the government is issuing a common-sense safety advisory to all drivers in snowy states to keep their vehicle's undercarriage clean. It even has a video explaining things. "Older-model vehicles, often driven in harsh conditions, are subject to corrosion over long periods of time, and we need owners to be vigilant about ensuring they, their passengers, and others on the roads are safe," said NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind in the announcement of the end of the investigation. The agency was clear in its report that "brake line corrosion seen in the GM vehicles was not unique," and the government "has not identified a defect that would initiate a recall order." Instead NHTSA is advising drivers, especially those of vehicles from before 2007, to wash their vehicle's undercarriage in the winter and spring to remove salt or other de-icing chemicals. It also recommends regular checks by a mechanic to make sure everything is in proper order. According to the investigation documents, for just the GMT800 platform models, NHTSA found 3,645 complaints of brake line corrosion, which included allegations of 107 crashes and 40 injuries. The issue was found to be more common in vehicles over 10 years old. GM has released a statement (embedded below) that the company "supports the consumer advisory from NHTSA urging regular maintenance and care of brake lines on older vehicles." NHTSA Closes Investigation into Brake-Line Failures NHTSA 13-15 Thursday, April 9, 2015 Agency issues safety advisory on preventing undercarriage corrosion WASHINGTON – The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today issued a Safety Advisory and consumer video encouraging owners of model year 2007 and older trucks, SUVs and passenger cars to inspect brake lines and thoroughly wash the underside of their vehicles to remove corrosive salt after the long winter in order to prevent brake-line failures that increase the risk of a crash.
