Re: Drive Your Truck To Work?
I'm running AV plates, legally you are just allowed to drive it to car shows and to test it mechanically, its a lot cheaper for the plates and insurance but since its a truck I am going to have to rethink that one.

Re: Drive Your Truck To Work?
My 64 is my daily driver. Roughly 10 miles round trip from the house to base and back. Maybe a tank of fuel every two weeks or more. Depends on what else is included in my trip. Lol.

Re: Drive Your Truck To Work?
I drive my blazer on nice days. It's pretty thirsty (hard to keep your foot out of it...) but by the time I either pick up or drop my daughter off at daycare, it's about a 60 mile round trip. On the REALLY hot days, or days when the weather is cruddy, the Denali is on DD duty.

Re: Drive Your Truck To Work?
My 65 was my daily driver for over 20 years,roughly 35 miles round trip. I parked it in the fall of 2008 to replace all the rusty sheet metal. I tore it down and got a lot of it done but due to cutbacks at work my income took a big hit and my truck budget went from small to nonexistent . Here it is 2014 and it is still in pieces.

Re: Drive Your Truck To Work?
I had planned on mine being daily driven but after the frame off resto I could not insure it as such and it is too nice now to drive daily anyway .

Re: Drive Your Truck To Work?
I drive mine very chance I get. It rides rough, it's loud and hot or too cold because it has no AC or heater, it's hard to turn in parking lots, and hard to stop for lights, and I can't go past a gas station without stopping but I love it. If I had the money to upgrade everything I wouldn't drive anything else.

Re: Drive Your Truck To Work?
Once I get home and restore mine it will be my daily driver.
