Lot of guys have been driving their trucks on road trips it seems lately. So how far did ya drive yer truck today?

As far as me.....I didn't drive ANY of mine at all today! Shame on me!

Hollow65 · 08-09-2015, 11:45 PM

Maybe 30 miles. A solid 1/8 mile completely sideways with tires squeeling. That was my entry on to the highway. Hit the local cars and coffee then cruised around. Great weather here today.

kingsolver72 · 08-10-2015, 12:44 AM

I put about 150 miles on the bluejay special yesterday/Saturday. Drives nice! I need to recover the seat though.

That sounds like fun. haha

MikeN · 08-10-2015, 10:23 AM

9 miles to work this morning, probably about 5 miles round trip to lunch, then 9 miles back home this evening.

indymachinist · 08-10-2015, 10:27 AM

In my time of ownership, I have not driven my truck a single mile.

Improbcat · 08-10-2015, 12:44 PM

Yesterday I drove up to boston & back to pick up a bed for a friend. About 100 miles in total.

**PGSigns** · 08-10-2015, 01:16 PM

I drive mine about 45 to 50 miles every day to and from work. A few side trips on the way home and that goes up. only thing keeping the miles off this truck is my Ultra classic. If its a nice day I ride my other vehicle with no AC.

About 20 miles. Drove to mom's house to pick tomatoes. Spent half an hour in the driveway as the neighbours came over to check out the truck. Stopped on the way back home to pick up oil and filter.

AcampoDave · 08-10-2015, 07:28 PM

Yesterday I headed out from my home in the San Joaquin valley and crested the summit of the High Sierras to arrive at Donner State Park, the site of the infamous Donner Party tragedy. The pic is of the monument placed there. The pedestal represents the depth of the snow during that horrible winter of 1846/47. The small figure in front of the pedestal is my wife.

Gargoyle · 08-10-2015, 07:49 PM

If the '62 had good brakes I would've driven it to work today, about 32 miles round trip. Maybe next week...

**Palf70Step** · 08-10-2015, 07:58 PM

Saturday I put about 300 miles on the mule. Drove over to St Francisville, LA to meet up with a bunch of truck buddies for food and trucks. Then of course the LONG un A/C trip back home that evening.

Larry64 · 08-10-2015, 08:57 PM

In the 4 years I have owned it about 50 miles total. In my mind about a million.

dieseldude4bt · 08-10-2015, 10:45 PM

Over 200,000 in the last 34 years. 96 today.

Johnny_Lamebridge · 08-10-2015, 11:27 PM

Last Saturday I drove my truck just over 200 miles to a car show and back home. I gotta get some sound deadener in this thing!

strat10 · 08-10-2015, 11:59 PM

The day I bought my truck I rode my bike down and drove the truck back maybe 80-90 miles.

Cooper197 · 08-11-2015, 02:23 AM

Had hand surgery two weeks ago, got my truck back from a friend who swapped in a 350 a week ago and finally decided today that I couldn't wait any longer. Put 120 miles on that new motor today with only 1 hand (no power steering and a 4 on the floor!

)

Congrats....glad you got to break the ole girl in!

TJ's Chevy · 08-17-2015, 10:12 AM

Drove Crustine from the field to my garage. lol Wanted it to be closer so I could pull the starter cause its being picky with me! Was hoping to go for a drive with her but that'll be next weekend.

morethanstock66 · 08-17-2015, 12:02 PM

About 30miles to and from work M-F for me. Sat-Sun are tweaks, shakedown runs, and cruising haha

BigElittleg64 · 08-17-2015, 01:01 PM

Got the old girl running for the first time in 7 years and managed to drive it out of the garage to the end of the drive way so about 50 feet. Still no gas tank so the lawn mover gas can will do for now. LOL

TJ's Chevy · 08-31-2015, 11:46 PM

Yesterday I drove Agatha Crustine to church and back. She ran great as usual. Then I drove....er pushed.....my chassis out of the garage for some fresh air. lol All in all a great weekend with both my trucks.

Pappyx3! · 09-01-2015, 12:36 AM

Put almost 2,000 miles on my 66 since I bought it in the spring. The bad news is the 62 hasn't moved 6 feet under it own power in 10 months.

scottco · 09-01-2015, 07:15 AM

I drive about 25 mile a day. Last week got some bad gas with water in it so drove a ways, worked on it. drove a ways, worked on it til it all cleared out !! lol

vince1 · 09-02-2015, 08:26 AM

Probably 50 miles. Drop off the freezer for recycling, pick up a pail of polypropylene glycol, dump the garbage; all things that a truck should do and I have an excuse to drive it.
