When the classic truck becomes your daily driver...

My previous daily driver was a 1946 F*rd sedan street rod. We put 300,000 miles on it in eight years. Depending on where I lived, the commute could be up to 100 miles (round trip) daily. I had a friend that was inspired to replace his new Toyota truck with a 54 Chevy pickup specifically because of the miles I put on my old car, and he lived right down the street from work.

The 1960 GMC replaced the sedan and was originally assembled for similar freeway speed long distance commuting. For the better part of nine years it covered 72 miles every week day. It’s still my primary driver, but being retired now the mileage has really dropped as I just don’t travel that far anymore.

I am lucky to live in California! We get snow but I usually drive my 72 K20 instead of my 65 if it gets too bad! I always get comments on my truck! I always have a smile on my face when I'm in my pickup!! I drive mine every day as well and until I get better gears in the rear (4:56 now) I drive the K20 to visit my dad who lives 100 miles away! It's my hauler, tow rig, parts getter, grocery getter shop truck you name it I use it!
