westie 666 · 01-14-2009, 02:29 PM

Mine is just a toy

jchav62 · 01-14-2009, 02:34 PM

Mine's (the '73) just a toy for now too. I want it to eventually be my DD, so I can save the miles on my newer truck.

87c10slammer · 01-14-2009, 02:35 PM

lawn ornament till saterday when it goes back for the final stages of completion

lvschevytrucks · 01-14-2009, 02:38 PM

mine is still in the "Project" stage,
when he's done he wants to be a chick magnet.....lol

73CheyenneSuper20 · 01-14-2009, 02:49 PM

Toy. But my toy is broken.

swb85 · 01-14-2009, 03:00 PM

DD and ongoing project.

flamingbig10 · 01-14-2009, 03:33 PM

DD, show truck, work truck, ongoing project, when I gets some helper bags it will be used as trailer hauler, chick magnet or guys that want to steal it, and if I get out of my house it will be aplace to sleep "oh wait I do"

Malo83 · 01-14-2009, 03:39 PM

Daily Driver for the last 25 yrs.

"Like a Rock"

454HO · 01-14-2009, 05:50 PM

Mine has to be 'other' because none of the other choices apply. I basically use it for either stress relief (driving it) or a source of aggravation (working on it).... whichever I am in the mood for at the time.

Me too. Not a DD, although I drive it to "cruise nights" it is by no means a show truck. Just a toy for weekend cruising.

1987 Shortwide · 01-14-2009, 06:36 PM

While it's a paperweight for a couple more weeks... I plan on hauling stuff. Primarily ass. Actually, that's the only thing it can haul anymore aside from a passenger or two.

dammitmitchell · 01-14-2009, 07:07 PM

i selecte "other" because there was nto category for
"scaring small children and old people"
hahahahah

Gregs71 · 01-14-2009, 08:16 PM

Bought it to tow a trailer / hauling. There are better trucks for the job, but they are cheap and it will do what I ask.

asphaltburner · 01-14-2009, 08:29 PM

Yo!
My FRANKENTRUCK will be a daily driver, some camping and 4x4, and for showing off, but right now it's mostly stationary because I need to re-torque the new 350's headbolts after running it in just a little. Hope to have the new 285x70x17 Firestones installed on the new Foose Spank wheels on Friday afternoon and maybe do the headbolts over the weekend, if it warms up.

motley_65 · 01-14-2009, 08:46 PM

Mine is a daily driver back and forth to work. Don't really take it out of town too much.

jrsmith_2010 · 01-14-2009, 09:00 PM

*78 Chevyrado* · 01-14-2009, 09:06 PM

This sounds like my 74 ...... But if I ever get it back together it will be all show just like my 97 GMC, Plans are to trailer the 74 with the 97 to shows.

69chevy1 · 01-18-2009, 01:05 AM

i use mine as a weekend truck or when i go to pomona swapmeet

gchemist · 01-14-2009, 09:55 PM

Killing tires!! Running over ricers too.

4x4s4allie · 01-14-2009, 10:30 PM

well, mine is my daily driver, mostly ... but my vehicles are all attention whores, so they all get driven for the most part equally ... it also is for cruising the bar scene on the weekends ... makes drunks trip over themselves and fall over seeing a chick driving a big mean black old loud chevy truck ... and, it tows ... it carries a load when i need it to ... it's my jack of all trades kinda sweet deal all in one ...
