do you drive your truck often or not?
hey guys im jus curious as to how often you drive your trucks! my 67 will be my first vehicle that i will be driving around and to school
 it will cost a lot for gas but since my dad drove it too the pride to drive such a fine truck is better than the cost

Re: do you drive your truck often or not?
yeah my dad has nasty headers ( hopefully switching to ram horns) and dual exhaust but when we switch to ram horns we will run flows. and my 67 will have ram horns and 44 series flows.

Re: do you drive your truck often or not?
-
I drive one or the other of mine every day except in the winter. I drove both the '70 long fleet and the Suburban today. The Burb for the first time.... I have to take it in the morning to get the exhaust put on it..Whoo-Hoo!!!.. I have to tell you though, I am no High Schooler, even though I still feel like one..  LockDoc

Re: do you drive your truck often or not?
Mine isn't my daily driver but I drive it every time I get a chance. It's the vehicle I drive when I have absolutely nowhere to go.

Re: do you drive your truck often or not?
Mine was my daily driver up till I blew up the 307, then it snowballed into a lot of work! I'm well past my high school years too but I'd have loved to have had one of these trucks back then!

Re: do you drive your truck often or not?
The K20 is a daily driver (shares time with my 63 Chevy II during the summer). My 70 has sat in storage for over 4 years and is waiting for me to get a place with more garage space to store and work on it.

Re: do you drive your truck often or not?
Not my "daily" althogh it has been called into service when the 260,000 mile Caprice 9C1 breaks down. The '67 has logged 25,000 miles in under 4 years.

Re: do you drive your truck often or not?
Im disapointed with all the daily drivers with no pics. Not to brag but as a badge of honor!
I drive my original paint BB SWB 72 GMC every day 15 miles each way to the Air Force base and back rain or shine and my daughter drives the 71 to school and back everyday as well... rain or shine. |

Re: do you drive your truck often or not?
Every day, weekdays, weekends, vacations, short trips, long trips... In fact, picking up my kids at school is much easier in my Burb ... it doesn't blend into the sea of mini-vans. The teachers know its me and have the kids ready to roll. If I take my company car or the wifes mini-van, I get carded. Which means, it isn't my smiling face they know, it's the Burb.
