Who here is daily driving a 67/72?
 

Hi all. I am kinda thinking about getting a nice 67/72 truck and using as a daily driver but with modern touches like all new suspension, 5.3 engine, newer auto trans, etc. Basically a brand new powertrain under the old school truck. Who here is running a similar setup as a daily? How do you like it?

I drive my truck all the time, over 10,000 miles the last 2 years. Turbo and all...it's just a blast to drive and cruises like stock when not in the boost.

I think it's a great idea and I certainly would recommend it to anyone.

I drive mine every day, every where I go. scrapping, groceries, the lumber yard, mail run, last winter I drove it moving to the new place. heck, I'm still hauling stuff from the old house. I love that old truck, it fits my personality to the T.

Me to! I only average around 3k a year having a short commute to work. It also serves as travel trailer puller, dump trailer puller, parts runner, and shuttling kids to soccer practice and other activities. Thats why I sold my 69 C10LB and got a Burb.

I drive my 68 almost daily. I'm retired and don't go out every day but when I do, it's the C10.

I daily drove mine from the time I sold my Silverado SS in September 2015 through december 27th 2015, when I picked up my 2016 Camaro SS. Michigan winters...3 speed manual...65 miles round trip everyday.

Now or when they were new ? Kids , You've got to love them ! I would think there's only a gazillion guys wanting to daily drive a 67-72 and half a gazillion already doing it . Go for it ! But buy a clean stock truck and keep it that way .

I just got my 71 back on the road after a couple years of down time. I used to like driving it but only when I needed to but now that it looks so nice I enjoy driving it more cause I'm loving the looks it gets as much as driving it. Even though it was built to be a work truck for my business I find myself driving it even when my car would do just because I want too. Not sold on the updated technology idea though,that's why I fixed my old truck instead of buying a newer one. Less headaches,easy to fix old school technology. More dependable than my newer stuff.

Not because I need to but because I love it. Drive it every day to work about 8 miles each way.

I remember into the early 90s, there seemed to be one of these on every block locally. Other than the one in my garage, I rarely see one.

:devil: Every day

:devil: Every Day!

:chevy: Over 106 k in over 10 years, most repairs took no longer than 1 day.

I love driving my sweet '72 C30, just be nice if it had power steering, it's my only ride but I found my next rescue C30 In the local yard. I can't wait to haul it out of there. I think a 67 or 68 but not sure. Should own it this weekend, trading my beat 94 ford F250 that isn't drivable...... well maybe one more drive, I hope it won't be Found On the Road Dead. Is it saturday yet.....

Re: Who here is daily driving a 67/72?
 

I don't drive everyday now since its summer but when I do have to drive my 71' is my first choice.

Re: Who here is daily driving a 67/72?
 

I trust mine to go anywhere, anytime, but..... I don't see the need for the late model drivetrain and updates. heck, I just put a set of points and plugs in mine last week, and she's ready for another hitch. Gets about 16 mpg at 60-65 or so and yea, it sucks not having air. All in all, they hold up fine with the original drivetrain, and have for the better part of 50 years.

Re: Who here is daily driving a 67/72?
 

I daily drive my 70 C30 Longhorn up until they lay that calcium down on the roads in the winter. I trust mine to go anywhere as well, matter of fact I just got back from a 12 hr. round trip and she didn't skip a beat...

My '72 is my daily driver. 30 miles daily to/from work. Up to 40-45 if I have classes that night.

Re: Who here is daily driving a 67/72?
 

My 67 GMC goes to work every day and all over the place. 327 with a 350 behind it. I don't have the big tires on any more and the lift is coming back down to a 2.5 in in the next month.

Here's mine at work with a rebuilt trans and rebuilding the motor now, should be back to a daily driver on by the end of July once again.

Re: Who here is daily driving a 67/72?
 

I drive my car to work and back most of the time but drive my truck everywhere else. I always drive my truck on weekends.
It's I970 C10 with a new L31-R crate engine and new th350 trans. I have new tires and wheels waiting to go on it then I will be taking it on some longer trips.

Mine's a daily driver from the end of April till November with all the car shows and cruise nights I go to.
