I acquired this truck from one of my customers (I own a small engine dealership). She had the truck parked in her barn and I saw if when picking up a ATV she needed repaired. I ultimately bought the truck and another piece of equipment from her. The history on the truck was that her grandfather bought the truck new in 1970 from Brunt-Ward Chevrolet in Louisville Ms. He drove the truck for two years until his death in 1972. At that time, the customer's father put the truck in his shed and used it very intermittently until his death in 2007. At that time, the daughter put the truck in her barn where it sat until I bought it. She indicted there was one attempt the crank it up about three years ago by her husband but he told he the carb was bad ad the radiator was shot


When I bought the truck, I had a wrecker pick it up and tow it to my business. At this point I have had my mechanic do the following work to the truck:

1. Carb - my mechanic pulled the carb and took it apart and cleaned it (soaked in cleaner) and put it back together. We replaced the internal fuel filter in the carb with a new one.

2. We replaced the fuel pump and the gas tank due to the corrosion we found in the original tank.

3. We dropped the oil out of the unit and replaced the oil and oil filter.

4. We replaced the water pump as well as dropped and replaced the antifreeze. We were surprised at the condition of the radiator as it was in good shape. Later we found a receipt in the glove box for a radiator that was purchased in 2010 - apparently her husband replaced the radiator.

5. We originally had problems getting the heater to work but found a that a rodent had built a nest inside the heater mechanism that kept the heater from turning on. We have cleaned that up and now the heater is functional.

6. We cleaned (not detailed the truck).

Other things worth mentioning:

A. Tires were replaced 8/5/06. This includes the spare. They appear to be in good shape.

B. The truck now cranks and drives. I have driven the truck back and forth from my business to my home a couple of times (about 10 miles each way). The truck engine runs well.

C. The brakes on the truck work although they truck pulls to the left under heavy braking. I would expect that the new owner would need to do brake work.

D. The glass on the truck is good with the exception of the front windshield which has a major crack. The passenger side mirror is loose inside its housing but is in one piece.

E. The inside is in good shape with no tears in the seat or the door panels or dashpad. One of the seatbelts does have a cracked plastic cover housing. The steering wheel also has a couple of cracks in the plastic.

F. As best I can tell all of the lights and signals work.

G. There are several small dents located on the truck. I believe most will show up in the pictures. I would assume the new owner if they want to restore this truck will have it repainted and I don't think the dent repairs will be a big issue.

H. I can find no significant rustthru on the exterior of the vehicle. There is some surface rust on the vehicle. The wheels and hubcaps are very rusty.

I. The transmission is a standard shift - 3 speed on the column

Not sure what else is needed to describe the vehicle. Hopefully the pictures will show the overall condition of the vehicle, If you have any questions, please let me know. My phone number is 601 656 5131 - ask for Kevin. I would prefer local pickup on the truck but will assist in loading it with a shipping company if the buyer prefers. Payment by cash or certified check. I would like a deposit of $500 (paypal OK) within 5 business days with the reminder at pickup.

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Chevrolet LUV Mikado

Sat, Oct 9 2021

During 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!

2014 Corvette Stingray meets Tesla Model S in drag strip showdown

Wed, Jan 29 2014

They come from two different worlds and have little in common. The Tesla Model S P85 is the sportiest version of this paradigm-punching sedan from California, while the 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 is a performance-enhanced version of Michigan's recently-updated sports car stalwart. The West Coast car seats five adults and eats electrons like Popeye eats spinach, the Easterner has two passenger places and, surprisingly, sips gasoline like one might bourbon. An attribute they do happen to share is extreme quickness. This similarity is all the excuse Drag Times needed to set the vehicles beside each other at the Palm Beach International Raceway for a bit of mano-a-mano quarter-mile combat. Fortunately enough, cameras were rolling for each of two bouts down the blacktop and the results recorded for our edification and enlightenment. The winner? We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say it's really, really close. How close? Scroll below and watch the video for yourself. Just be warned, the results may surprise you.

GM Halts Sale Of Most Chevy Cruze Models

Fri, Mar 28 2014

General Motors has told dealers to stop selling some 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars. But the company won't say why. Dealers say stop-sale orders are routine and almost always made to fix a safety problem. They received the order in an e-mail Thursday, but no reason was given. The move comes as GM deals with fallout from a delayed recall of 1.6 million older small cars to fix an ignition switch problem. The company says the switches can slip out of the run position and shut down the engine. That causes loss of power steering and brakes and disables air bags. GM says the problem has been linked to 31 crashes and at least a dozen deaths. Spokesman Greg Martin says he has no details on the Cruze.
