Daily driver, cruiser, shows, toy, in this order

MichaelC · 01-14-2009, 11:34 PM

I use my truck as a road grader! Keeping all the potholes filled in the driveway. HaHa

Hoods69BadBowTie · 01-14-2009, 11:38 PM

I was using mine as a daily driver and an offroad general all around fun rig! Hauling junk and wood and going camping in the mtns all the good stuff

fast75 · 01-16-2009, 04:53 AM

i chose "OTHER", i use mine to scare the sheeit out of the wife and to keep me buying high blood pressure medication.

rod86 · 01-16-2009, 05:10 AM

dust collector at the moment...

willis0107 · 01-16-2009, 08:02 AM

Hauling firewood and well just about anything else that will fit in the bed.

red caddy · 01-16-2009, 10:33 AM

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

TexasJeff · 01-16-2009, 01:36 PM

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.

Prerunner1982 · 01-16-2009, 02:10 PM

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.

87c10slammer · 01-16-2009, 02:29 PM

well mine changed from lawn ornament to project today... its off to the shop right now to get finished.. when it gets beck it will be a fireworks dispay cause i have every intension of mounting my camera to the back bumper and dragging the frame down the highway... i hope someone starts to ride my ass cause im jsut gonna drop the rear and give them a heart atack...lol

dammitmitchell · 01-16-2009, 02:50 PM

dud grab some steel stock (flat) and make a bracket steel stock sparks like hell when dragged..
just my 2c

87c10slammer · 01-16-2009, 03:21 PM

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..

back when i was 13 and i lived in jacksonville FL me and my friend scott where trying to hitch hike to the other end of town so we had our thumbs out then some guys in a truck showed up and tried to show off with the sparks and right as the guy did it his bumper got ripped off lol

dammitmitchell · 01-16-2009, 03:49 PM

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.

Daily driver and to pull around my BBQ trailer.

silvereagle07 · 01-18-2009, 11:23 PM

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.

**old Rusty C10** · 01-19-2009, 12:06 AM

mine will be a mild custom work truck restored to original
