Are you sure the rear is "ifs?" It looks like a solid axle to me.

i think he meant the wider IFS rear end.

Nice L.U.V., I remember mine from way back in the day.

luvyota · « **Reply #14 on:** Aug 14, 2009, 10:14:44 PM »

nice why did you get red of it

DaveZ · « **Reply #15 on:** Aug 15, 2009, 07:38:36 AM »

Started racing it and cutting and modifying it to the point that the parts were worth more than the truck and moved on to Toyota's. I do miss it though it was fun, Isuzu 2.3 untill I put a Toyota 18rg with n.o.s on it.

Did you use the Chevy luv frame or did you use a Toyota frame?? I have a chevy luv i want to convert to solid axle with the complete toyota drivetrain

luvyota · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 10, 2010, 04:23:12 AM »

its a stock luv frame i figured it would be the easiest to do and i think it worked out good.

dezrik · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 10, 2010, 09:33:17 AM »

Could you take some pictures of it for me?? I have a 2wd and Ive been tempted to swap some extra 4wd parts I have off of one of my old toyotas.

luvyota · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 10, 2010, 11:45:05 AM »

what do you want pics of?
