This is my 1981 Chevy Luv truck. Because of too many projects I must sell this truck. I purchased this truck in jan 2013.I bought it from the second owner who was a Washington state resident and part time Arizona resident.I FLEW TO LAS VEGAS TO GET THIS TRUCK AND DROVE IT 1700 MILES HOME TO ILLINOIS!!!!! This truck defines reliable. I wanted a good solid original truck to restore and the west coast is the only place to get them.The previous owner told me he bought the truck from a senior couple in Arizona 8-10 years ago. He claims they were the original owners. The truck was sold new in Arkansas. It has spent the last 8-10 years in Arizona and Washington state. I have a clear Illinois title in my hand.It is a solid original truck.It does have a couple small rust issues.The yellow paint is original. On the left rear quarter panel there is a slight scrape(very light damage-pic, grocery cart?)and does have a couple small dings. It has a rust hole in a strange place. its in the pillar on the right side of the windshield near the roof(pic).I think that led to the rust hole in the very bottom of the right front fender. It has a small rust hole on the right side rocker panel under the door. The only other hole I could find is in the bed on the right side of the floor.it is very small its between the right rear wheel and the tailgate. All the other rust on this truck is surface rust. The left inside of the bed has a large amount of surface rust but no holes. The undercarriage is in great shape. very solid. no rust issues with frame at all. If I had time I would dismantle this truck and do a total restoration . Its a perfect candidate or you could just drive it. That covers the rust issues. It has a cracked windshield but I do have a brand new windshield that comes with it. The tires are decent. I did just put 1700 miles on them, has all the original hubcaps. The interior is ruff. It had a old cover on the seat. I took it off just to give a better view of the condition.. the seat is very wore needs recovered. I tore out the drivers side original rubber flooring(worn) to get a better look at the floorboards. They look terrific. It has a very old aftermarket cassette player. Dash is cracked. glove box door is there but not attached. I didn't include any pics of the motor in error. The motor is original. It has never been hacked up or had any kind of modifications. The jack is still all there in the original location. Previous owner recently replaced the altenator. Truck does have A/C but I have never tried to use it and bid as if it doesn't work. The compressor is on the truck and it is hooked up. everything is there. Does have power steering. It does have the factory 2.2 litre diesel engine,5 spd manual p/s non working a/c
Since buying this truck and driving it halfway across the country. I have been using this truck to commute to work. 30 miles each way. I was disappointed to find out when I bought it that the ODOMETER DOES NOT WORK. It reads 140999 and stopped there . The previous owner said it quit on him and approximated the mileage at 144k. I have no way of documenting how many miles are on it Please bid accordingly. If you are still reading you already understand the reliability of these trucks and I really think the mileage is a non factor. It does have a profound vibration at idle in the steering column. Sometimes when your turning corners the indicator lights in the dash come on.Its always had a slight electrical glitch since I got it but has never affected performance.
I have provided the best description I could of this truck. Im sure I could've missed a few things but I just wanted to give a honest description so there is no question when you are thinking about bidding.this truck is fun to drive and gets a lot of attention.i wish it was shiny and nice but ill leave that to you

General Motors CEO Provides Few Details In Appearance Before Congress
Wed, Apr 2 2014It was only two months ago that Mary Barra, freshly crowned as the new General Motors chief executive officer, visited Washington DC as an esteemed guest of First Lady Michelle Obama for the State of the Union address. On Tuesday, Barra returned to the Capitol under more strained circumstances. For more than two contentious hours, she took questions from members of a House of Representatives subcommittee investigating General Motors years-long delay in initiating a recall of millions of vehicles that contained a defect that has killed at least 13 people. Why did GM accept faulty ignition switches that were below the company's set specfications? Why did GM learn about the problem in 2001 yet take no action until 2014? Will GM compensate victims' families even though the company's bankruptcy may limit its liability? Those were a few of the questions members of the House Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee asked. Few concrete answers were forthcoming. For her part, Barra sidestepped most of the questions, saying she wouldn't have information needed to answer them until an internal review is completed. David Friedman, the administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, testified after Barra. The biggest news that emerged from the hearing was that General Motors has retained attorney Kenneth Feinberg to advise the company on its civil and legal responsibilities. He has made a career of resolving disputes and serving in a 'fixer' role, serving as the chief of the federal government's September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, as an administrator of compensation fund for victims of the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster and a similar fund for victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. Barra, who has been GM's CEO since January but been with the company since 1980, expects to meet with Feinberg on Friday, and have a concrete plan within the next 30-60 days. Yet Barra would not say for certain Tuesday that GM would compensate the victims at all. Despite repeated questions from Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.), Barra did not outline the company's intentions. "I assume GM is hiring (Feinberg) to help identify the size of claims and then compensate the victims? Is that right," DeGette asked. "Is GM willing to put together some kind of a compensation fund for these victims that Mr. Feinberg will then administer?" "We've hired him to help assess the situation," Barra replied. "So really, there's no money involved at this point," DeGette asked.
Mysterious white powder discovered at GM Orion Assembly
Fri, Sep 2 2016Workers at General Motors Orion Assembly Plant in Orion Township, MI uncovered a mysterious white powder in two different parts of the factory earlier this week, raising concerns about worker safety. "We can confirm that an unknown substance (white powder) was found on the floor outside of Gate 6 at Orion Assembly on Monday, August 29. On Tuesday, August 30, we had a second report of a bottle containing a similar substance found inside the plant," GM spokesperson Dayna Hart told The Oakland Press via email. GM stressed that incident didn't disrupt operations at the plant, and that the company was taking steps to ensure the safety of the sprawling factory's workers. That did include, an anonymous worker told The Oakland Press, closing off parts of the factory for two full days, as drug-sniffing dogs and crews in haz-mat suits descended on the area. "A sample of the substance has been sent to a laboratory for identification and results are expected later this week," Hart said. "All findings and actions have been shared with our employees." Orion Assembly currently builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, and will eventually be responsible for production of the new, all-electric Chevy Bolt early next year. Related Video:
