shrtbx · 12-01-2009, 03:21 PM

Im just curious to know who fires their truck up every morning to head off to whatever it is they do. Whos truck is an actual everyday driver and not a show car or a weekend warrior.

3r!c84 · 12-01-2009, 03:36 PM

Sniper X · 12-01-2009, 04:15 PM

Not me, I drive eithger of my two maybe once a month or so depending on weather....still need some snow tyres! Then I might drive the 74 everyday when it snows.

creamsicle68 · 12-01-2009, 04:17 PM

i do fire up a 68 k10 every morning to get to school right now tho : )

Tex_50613 · 12-01-2009, 04:26 PM

it's not just a weekend warrior, it's alsow a bad weather truck couse the county don't like to plow my road and my 92 is worthless in the snow

Keith Seymore · 12-01-2009, 04:34 PM

*JCampbell* · 12-01-2009, 04:38 PM

<---This guy does.

jchav62 · 12-01-2009, 04:40 PM

I do. The '73 is my daily driver. That's what I built it for. I have a 2004 Silverado that stays parked 90% of the time.

This pic (in fact, most of the pics I post) was taken in the parking lot at work...

Malo83 · 12-01-2009, 04:56 PM

She's been my DD since she was bought new in June 83

3r!c84 · 12-01-2009, 04:57 PM

mine my DD too, start it up everyday at 6:30 for the 60 mile trip to school, then back again! and shes never failed me! mines sittin at about right over 70,000 miles!

STOCKISH · 12-01-2009, 05:41 PM

I drive the wheels off mine. Gets driven wether it likes it or not. Here it is sitting beside the shop I work at.

Moody Blues · 12-01-2009, 05:50 PM

Drive to job 1 at 4am, job 2 at 6:30am, then job 3 at 4:00pm, then home at 9:00pm. If the fire dept page's me out we are off again. Out of all the trucks I have owned brand ne and used this is my fav. My goal is to have this till I die.

joe231 · 12-01-2009, 05:43 PM

cableguy0 · 12-01-2009, 05:48 PM

mine is driven to work almost everyday 60 miles round trip. mostly highway with a motor most guys would leave parked till saturday.

74 C-30 · 12-01-2009, 05:53 PM

well today was the first day of me driving mine, maybe not everyday driver, but whenever i get the chance!

Hottrucks · 12-01-2009, 06:22 PM

wish this was in the general section...but I'll chime in...my 70 has been turn key since 3 days after I pulled it out of the woods...and has been my DD since before the real plates where on it...I even drove it about a week on a milk crate??....I'm not sure if I'm going to run it this winter or not..probably not since 2wd is useless around here once the snow flies and I'd like to clean up some stuff I halfass'd trying to get it on the road and put in some of the stuff I have been picking up over the summer..

tic toc I think I have about a week left..mileage unknown but I have run it 8000 miles in three months

on a side note I was in Naples Maine and saw a 2 tone 4x4 abut a 70 talked to the original owner he said he was working on his 3rd motor...400,000 miles

Walts_restoration · 12-01-2009, 06:53 PM

77 2wd never let me down, purrs like the day she was new.

bitchin85 · 12-01-2009, 06:59 PM

i fire mine up in the michigan cold every morning at 630 and im off to school. she hasnt failed me yet!!

baggedcten · 12-01-2009, 07:14 PM

My truck use to be a DD for 5 or 6 years i had it, (dad had before me)but then i blew a head gasket
