Re: what do you use your truck for?
My '86 drags my racecar on weekends and shares the DD work with a POS Nissan. Neither one of them is pretty, but they get the job done. RED

Re: what do you use your truck for?
I built mine mostly to tow my pop up camper, and general truck use. I do have lots of fun with it driving it a couple days a week back and forth to work and around town, getting lots of thumbs up from young and old alike.

Re: what do you use your truck for?
I used it as a daily driver, off road rig, and general work truck stuff....
Now it spends it days holding all my truck crap... collecting dirt waiting on a frame.

Re: what do you use your truck for?
my plan is to get titanium flat stock and build my own drag blocks ina few key locations. one being the full lenght of my rear bumper, then a few mounted to the frame itself so if i wanna drag the full frame i can.. i also plan on bracing a fw key areas that i knwo of that can get grinded down pretty fast.. i dont plan on doing it all the time but you know how a new toy is.. you gotta show it off.. specially around here.. thereis always a cruise night or car meet going on..

Re: what do you use your truck for?
Work out equipment....air it up push it out of the garage, drop it to the ground (so it doesnt roll away!) Air it back up and push it back in the garage. Repeat for a set of ten and feel the burn!!!

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.

Re: what do you use your truck for?
Mine is in the "other" category since I'm currently using it to haul off the weeks trash and occasionally my 4wheeler to go riding.
