V8LUV

Yes, as a matter of fact I do own a LUV, several actually, and I do recognize the chopped red luv pictured above; looks alot like the one I saw being sold in Texas for a while. I do some work with LUVs and just was searching out some 620 info and found this site. I picked up a 620 rear tinted Bubble window from a 620 the other day and was searching info on these. My current project LUV is a 72 L.U.V. , 1 year only, especially on alot of the cosmetics and such. Have a SpeedWay Engineering 9" housing being finished up with Torino flanges, 9-3/8" ring/pinion center section with a 4P Trac-Loc(POSI), 6-lug axles by Strange being tempered & made right now for up to 600HP. Then shortly we will be installing a Mustang II rack & pinion front suspension with Power Steering. Trying to keep the old look of the 72 and the L.U.V. but everything underneath is updated and street race ready! Once I get the custom rear leafs done for it and the front suspension finished, body work & paint then install the 408-700R4 set-up; finish it up then drive it! Your Varmint truck started out as a slow process as the owner then would do more and more over time to it. I cant remember when the Chop happened to it but I was able to watch the processes of the louvering, flames, paint etc being done to it. I know of a few guys down here still around that were heavy into back then and I am attempting to contact them as I can to try to see if the have any pics left from back then....I am hoping!!!

Very nice stuff guys! I'm a newbie here and an old timer from the old mini truck club days. I came in late to this all but I do see a few of the above trucks that I remember from the old Mini Truck Rallys. The Varmint was a rergular out here at the SoCal weekend events! One of my FAVs! Ill have to dig out my old 72 620 pics. It was a walk thru with the camper shell, metallic dark blue , visor, etc etc and a 283 SBC with a TH350 automatic! :D
