Working hard for his goals, that new home for his family and getting to use the new shop for bigger and better projects. Always giving the viewers good content. Great guy.
In the life I've had good people were somewhat the exception. That just makes a guy like me respect and appreciate a world beater such as you are. I thank you Puddin' for all the cool fun we have and the adventure your channel is become. Now it's my all time favorite saying to hear, that ALL people know. Sitting on your ass won't finish ya project! 😁👍
Hey Jack thank you for giving us all and Puddin something to keep our mind in the Luv vibes. I hope someone gives you a blessing for your kindness. Puddin great show buddy I luv that truck.
No one else is filling the void of backyard mini-truck content. Why not you? You're good at it and we enjoy it. There are plenty of other folks building cookie cutter Chevrolet and Ford builds.
Makes me miss my old 4X4 Luv. That thing was tough, ran great, was great on gas. I use to take that thing rallying in the Colorado Rockies full of camping gear.
I was wondering if they made them with 4wd. I would luv to have one. (Pun intended) I have never seen one 4x4. I've seen a bunch that were made into dragsters. If I find one 4x4 I am gonna jump on it. If the motor can't be saved I will put a 4.8, or a small diesel in it.
@@letsdothis9063Yes, they did indeed have 4 wheel drive LUV Trucks back at that time. My brother in law owned one, it was a 1980 yellow Chevy LUV 4 wheel drive truck.
Seeing a LUV tail grabbing your butt down the road make me think of that old song " Beep Beep Little Nash Rambler" Now we know how the little Nash kept up, it was being towed too! 😀
2005! i wasnt even born yet. i was born october 10th 2006! love them chevy luv's and the international's you pick up to! and the uhauls are amazing as well. i wanna get one of those old ford uhauals
What kinda cosmic flashbacks are going on here ? I had a Datsun mini truck , then I had a ' Edna ' and now you got an Isuzu Luv. I had a camper shell on my Luv. A camping sweetheart. You pick up a Pontiac Grand Prix , a Datsun 510 and 610 or a K-5 Blazer and I'm going to claim that you've been reading my old luv letters. WHOOP WHOOP !
I had a 1980 Chevy LUV when I turned 16 that exact color in 1994. so if you take this one and park it and Mark it I might be willing to buy it LOL can't wait to see what you do with it puddin and wanted to let you know that your shirts and stickers look so much better in person you are so welcome for the support and I thank you so much for the great videos that you put out that I enjoy watching so much while I'm recovering from emergency neck surgery
Love how it’s “just down the road” it could be 50 miles away from the house but it’s “just down the road” good luck with getting her going or whatever you plan on doing with it. Loving the second channel, it’s just quite enough of a quick video to help get over the hump of waiting for the new video on the main channel
This one was just down the road, in fact evey vehicle I’ve drug home with the exception of my box trucks have been just down the road. Within 15 minutes of driving!
7 years ago today I picked up my old 79 Luv 4x4. Wife overheated it and blew a head gasket, warped the head, etc. Header, intake, carb, emissions delete, fresh floor pan and POW
I really like mini trucks. I have had several over the years. Isuzus, Datsuns, Nissans, Mazdas and GM S-series blazers and pickups. Very few problems with them compared to full size. They just keep going until the just literally die.
When I was a kid I spent a lot of weekend trips with my Dad going round scrap yards getting parts for his car, getting parts as cheap as he could. But the two things he never skimped on were spark plugs and brake shoes/pads. He said if you bought cheap plugs, you'll be buying them again not much later. He drove a procession of old bangers while we were kids but they always started, always ran well, and always stopped when you needed them to.
Cool little ride! Looking forward to a will it run and maybe a "budget build" and flip it! I had one that had the spring for reverse screwed up and you had to hold the shifter up to stay in 1st 😉
Yellow '79 runnin' 'round here local. Owner kept the patina from when he drug it out of a local junkyard but installed an SBC in it. Pretty wicked little truck.
The first vehicle that was mine to drive was my Grandpa's yellow Chevy LUV..I loved that truck. My mom's mom and dad went all over the country in that truck with a camper on the back. Grandpa had a shop and a junkyard on the side of his house he had welded up a 50 gallon tank for that truck. My dad randomly took it away and gave it to his business partner for the partners daughter to drive. She wrecked it in a month. The replacement was a Datsun F10 hatchback. It looked like a mini Gremlin somebody had put a series of stripes on the back quarter panel like a gremlin. It was the first front wheel drive that was in fairly large circulation. Racing through neighborhoods with my friends that little Dotson was faster because it pulled through the corners with that front wheel drive. I still prefer drifting with rear wheel drive though.
I customized a 1972 LUV back in the 70's. Sun Roof, dual outside exhaust, fender flares and front air dam, white paint with Hugger Orange and Chevy Blue Graphics. We did a large spider on the hood. It would run 100MPH with the Overhead Valves and a .015 Head Shave. Drove it until I sold it to another car guy. It was one of the most fun rides to drive I ever had. Good Luck on this new project.
Yup, "R" is for Rambler. I recently acquired a 1964 Rambler 770 cross country wagon. Great video, there's always room for Puddins 2nd helpings .... Another nice addition to the mini-truck family :) Hawt Damn !
Dig those little LUVs!! Look forward to seeing her going... Anyone else feel old when he said he was a Freshman in high school jn 2005? That's the year I made E-6 in the Navy... 🤣
Love the channel, drove a 75 baby blue Chevy Luv. Timming chain tensioner failed and sent the chain right out of the case. Three months later, found a Luv on the end of a tow truck, followed the truck to the local wreckers and convinced the yard's owner to let me buy and remove the cover and borrow his tools. All of this while on the clock (boss wasn't happy I was missing with company truck for a few hours). Got her running that night, little Isuzu motor wouldn't quit. 1983, 18 and back in business. 20 bucks lighter and big ass chewing from the boss. Couldn't explain how I came back to the job greasy. Loved cruising that little truck.
I'da bought the whole truck and used it for parts for the one ya go now. I loved the looks of the LUV trucks from 1972 till 1980, especally the 1975 ,6,7,8,9 and 1970 trucks.
Congratulations on the new ride, that was my wife's first truck when we met, a little Chevy LUV she got from her grandparents haha. Sweet little trucks.
Safe pudding. Is Gordon E Walker in Flint Michigan I watch both videos the one at home and the one at the new shop or the homestead. But when you found a Chevy LUV the first time that was cool. Those Internationals yeah buddy who collects International nowadays. But today is a new video finding a Chevy LUV truck. How lucky can you be. There's not many in the world left. So if I had my choice and had the cash in a way to go get it that would be my puppy I would love truck
My brother John had one of these LUV'S,The bed was bad so he made it into a flatbed with wood planks and ran dual stacks off of one pipe up the back sides of the cab,People loved that thing,It too eventually blew a head gasket,These are notorious for this problem.
1.8s are junk The 2.2 3.2 and 3.5 came way later I have an amigo now 3.2L they have steel sleeve cylinders and 4 bolt mains you can super charge them. Stout motor with the updated rebuild kit. I won't touch another 1.8L ever again
👍👌👏 That was a really nice and decent old gentleman. One of the rare ones who give their stuff away before it's too late respectively the inherits have to deal with it.

Bought a 79 4x4, replaced the blown head gasket and started beating on it in the Oregon woods. Launched the front ring gear right through the housing. Drove it 2wd while I looked for a Toyota front axle, then the upper control arm ripped off the frame coming into the driveway. Swapped the Toyota axle in 5 nights after work outside in the winter, brr. Great little truck!!
The "R" is for Rambler but in this case it may mean Rusty.
Just found that out
Ill second the RAMBLER on the Hubcap and the rusty like MF'r.
Yup, you’re right!
Lol.
Agreed, it means "Rambler".
Hey I'm Jack's son! I appreciate the video and the kind words in the comments.
Puddin’, you’re a real gentleman. The way you talk to and about the owner of that truck is evidence of your good character. Well done, sir.
It’s karma. Pudding is a great guy and good things come his way.
@@Chrisb8s hopefully in a real big way
The kids are lucky he's their dad! It's family 1st with Puddin, the way it's supposed to be!
Puddin hustles so hard he's gonna have a third channel soon! Keep going brother, we appreciate the hard work!
and he will regularly interview himself in passing on that channel
Working hard for his goals, that new home for his family and getting to use the new shop for bigger and better projects. Always giving the viewers good content. Great guy.

That mystery hub cap with a letter R appears to be from a 1959or 1960 Nash Rambler.
I looked it up on the Google machine.
HAH I'm old enough to know what it was, without the google. 🤣
I once had 3 just like it.
@@patwitthoft3699 well, there's your missing #4
Hey Jack thank you for giving us all and Puddin something to keep our mind in the Luv vibes. I hope someone gives you a blessing for your kindness. Puddin great show buddy I luv that truck.
The R on the hub cap tells me it's from a Rambler (early AMC). The little air filter looks like it came off a Briggs & Stratton lawn mower engine.
Or a Honda or a Koehler

@@letsdothis9063 I look back and realize I didn't appreciate it enough. I can say that about several vehicles I owned though...that 72 Scout...

Let’s go it’s Puddin again 👍😎✌️
The "R" on the hub cap is for Rambler
Always enjoyed how them lil trucks looked
How can you not Luv that??! 77 all chevys luvs go to heaven, well Puddin's ranch but that don't rhyme!! Thanks Puddin for the quality content!
The "R" hub cap is from a Rambler. Love my Ramblers.
Your content never lacks Puddin.
A home made flatbed gets rid of most of the rust. The LUV and the Datsun are by far the best shaped trucks.
Hey Puddin👋. Its definitely a little on the ruff side. That's is the most common problem with those. Thank you for sharing and have a great evening ✌️
You the Man Puddin!!!
Absolutely love the Chevy Luv, wish I could find one that's affordable in my area and not rusted out!
NO WAY!!! I've been looking for one of those FOREVER. My dad had one and I will one day as well. I hope!! This video gives me hope
Make an offer!
@@KameraShy wait you got one!!?
I think we all enjoy your videos, no matter what you are doing….
I graduated in 91 and a 79 chevy luv was what I drove in high school! I love the luv truck. All my buddies drove s10s lol!
My first Vehicle was a 78 Luv. I think all Luvs came with Rust from the factory. you can fit a 350 in those also
My high school buddy has a v8 swapped Luv in the late 80's. That thing was a handful.
@@WormdrivE66 Rev up and torque that sucker right into a rusty pretzel !

Chevy luv fanatic. 73 museum quality 355 V8 in my garage.
"I'm a parts changer, not a mechanic" ~an extremely wise man
I absolutely love the LUVs 😀 excited to see this
I love my "Puddin's Fab Shop Channel 2", because the videos are shorter.
Please keep this LUV!
Had a red one 30 yrs ago n loved it
Hot Damn! Ol Puddin done pulled a whole Truck of LUV into our Scrap Cabinet Channel! ❤😊
I had one of these chev luv as a first car way back when they were new …
I despised the thing… made me a ford man from then on !

Dang, so many synchronicities in this one! I have a feeling this is gonna be good one. You're gonna LUV it!
Any puddin content is the best content. Seriously this is better than any show ever aired on television!
Puddin' Thank you for producing content on the second channel... Gives us some mid week love.
You bet we enjoy these mid-week vids! Thanks for sharing!
Cool little ride! Looking forward to a will it run and maybe a "budget build" and flip it! I had one that had the spring for reverse screwed up and you had to hold the shifter up to stay in 1st 😉
"R" stands for "TractoR PulleR". Remember, in Japan they read right to left in their books.
I subscribed because of little trucks ! I’m excited to see that LUV truck come back to life !
Yellow '79 runnin' 'round here local. Owner kept the patina from when he drug it out of a local junkyard but installed an SBC in it. Pretty wicked little truck.

Puddin , I like them get them out of my yard prices . Thanks for keeping it real buddy .
Another one of them "Drag-it-home" trucks! LOL
I enjoy these videos because it lets me live vicariously through you, when I don't have the time, money or space for a project
I ordered stickers and you sent me extras. Much appreciated. I'll buy a hat when I can afford one. Need a work hat also. Much love.
