Looks like a good little project,i have a friend that used to have one,it was black with a 350 Chev and had the stepside tub on it.Was a great little truck and he never really did steer it with the steering wheel,usually was just from the rear tyres.Oh incause you dont know whay LUV means its Light Utility Vehicle.

yeah the 350 is a pretty popular conversio over in the US, ive been doing as much research as i can on these.

and yeah steering with the back wheels is fun... till you get caught
