Re: daily drivers
Formerly mine, I used to drive this bad boy 60 miles daily as my commuter/work truck. Finally got tired of eating valves, electrical fires and 9mpg, so I wound up selling it in favor of my much more reliable '68 Dodge Dart (16 mpg ain't bad either)

Re: daily drivers
I don't daily drive my 67-72s anymore since winter driving them will ruin them. I use my trucks daily once the second good rain has fallen after the last salt. If I lived where salted roads wasn't an issue I would only be driving these trucks, as I did for 20+ years.
Here is one of my former daily drivers. I drove it till the cab was rotted too much because I couldn't fix it and still use it to earn my living. The last two pictures are once I retired it. Notice the condition of cab. First picture was '88, second and third were in '92. I put the running board on to try to save it. And yes, I washed it out at least once a week all winter long. After plowing it went straight to the car wash, too, before removing the plow:

Re: daily drivers
My "72 Stepper. Built it specifically to drive every day. Found a truck with factory A/C, power steering and front disc brakes, had a little body work done and paint and now just drive it. I must admit I do put down a mat before I haul anything in the bed. I put too much work in to the wood!!!

Re: daily drivers
My daily Cheyenne with upgrades, vintage air, rear disk brakes, front and rear sway bars, close ratio steering box, digital retro stereo and still rocking the 3OTT...for now. One day I'll take some good photos.
