Daily Drivers

Was just driving down the interstate with a buddy and we were talking about how cool it is to be using an old truck as a daily driver. Then he joked about watching the highway go by thru the holes in the floor!!! lol... My Honda car burned up in January and now I'm back to my old K20 for transportation. Forgot how much fun driving an old truck is, thou my teen age daughters hate it when they come over...

So lets see your daily drivers!

Mine.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: Daily Drivers

Here's mine. I try to keep mine in the garage when there's salt on the roads. I like vehicles you actually have to drive, i.e. no cruise control, no automatic transmission, no power steering, no power brakes, no power period in my case You won't see me talking on the cell phone while cruising (not that I could hear anything if I tried).
