Resurrection..
Just noticed someone looking at this OLD thread..Interesting,cos back in the early/mid 80s,I saw in an issue of Popular Hot rod[from memory],an article on building a SBC powered version,and it set the wheels in motion..These little pickups were marketed in NZ as an Isuzu KB20,but,I believe,as a Chevy LUV in Australia..We never had many come into the country,in fact,I think only government departments had them,,and as they got old and abused,they would go up for auction..Managed to get one,a 1977 model,and drove it for a year or so,while I sorted out the new running gear..It hit the street after about nine months off the road,with 300hp 350/th350 and a narrowed 9inch with 2.75 gears,new paint,interior etc..It was a real little ball of muscle,and I had lotsa fun driving it,,but learned super quick,not to go out on a wet day with a pooey attitude...
Did I have fun in it??Too darn right..Scared a few people with its acceleration too...It disappeared after a year or so,and just recently was talking to the guy who became the next owner after the guy who bought it from me..In fact,he is one of Rogers[Blow by,CHR] friends..Small world..Only have one digital pic of it,see if I can find it..
