This 1975 Chevrolet LUV pickup was fitted with a 5.7-liter V8, a 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission, and a Mustang II–style independent front suspension setup as part of a build completed under previous ownership. Blackout paintwork is complemented by projector-style headlights, and interior updates are highlighted by a Grant steering wheel, a Jensen head unit, power windows, and black cloth–trimmed bucket seats. The engine is fitted with a Holley Terminator X electronic fuel injection system as well as tubular headers, and further equipment includes power rack-and-pinion steering, Wilwood disc brakes, adjustable rear coilovers, and 2Crave 18” wheels. Acquired by the current owners in late 2024, this custom LUV is now offered by the seller on their behalf with a clean Arizona title.
Custom bumpers were installed, and the bodywork was smoothed before the truck was repainted in black along with the exterior brightwork. Projector-style headlights and LED taillights were added, and bedliner material was applied to the cargo bed.
Multi-piece 2Crave 18” wheels are wrapped in 215/45 Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 tires. A Mustang II-style independent front assembly with power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering has been installed along with adjustable rear coilovers. The tubular front control arms and drilled rear ladder bars are finished in red. Braking is handled by Wilwood discs at all four corners with six-piston front calipers.
The cab has been outfitted with bucket seats trimmed in black cloth as well as custom door panels with contrasting armrests. Power windows have been added along with a Jensen digital media receiver, which is mounted upside-down. Cracks in the dashboard, wear on the upholstery, and corrosion in the footwells can be viewed in the gallery.
The Grant steering wheel is paired with an aftermarket floor-mounted shifter and sits ahead of Omega Kustom Instrument Co. gauges consisting of a 140-mph speedometer flanked by auxiliary readouts. The seller states that the vehicle has been driven approximately 1k miles under current ownership, though the digital odometer indicates 5 miles.
The 5.7-liter V8 is said to have been sourced from a C5 Corvette and features a Holley Terminator X electronic fuel injection system, LSX-branded valve covers, and tubular exhaust headers. The Griffin aluminum radiator is cooled by dual electric puller fans.
Power is sent to the front wheels through a 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission.
The vehicle is titled using the VIN CLN1448209748, which appears on the retrofitted plate shown above as well as an Isuzu Motors label that is shown in the gallery.
