The Datsun truck was also the Chevy “LUV” (light utility vehicle). I bought one to do a 50-mile, round trip commute to Atlanta and back everyday.
It was a great ride, the only thing I ever had to do to it was to change the timing chain, which was very easy, as it was an easy and simple engine to work on.
When it snowed, which is rare in Georgia, I’d let15 pounds of air out of the back tires, toss a couple of concrete blocks in the bed for weights, and go almost anywhere I needed to go.
Taught my son to drive a straight-shift in that truck.
The only reason I finally sold it was, no air conditioning, which is almost a necessity in Georgia in the summer.
Mine was red.
The Chevy Luv was an Isuzu..........
