Daily Driving?
Hi everyone,
I was curious who is daily driving their classic trucks. Or just state how much per month you do drive it in miles or percentage of use. Thanks

Re: Daily Driving?
I normally drive my '71 once a week when I go to my son's house to work on old trucks. My '67 not so much since the brakes don't work.
I don't go anywhere that much any more since I no longer work away from the farm. Danny

Re: Daily Driving?
I retired in sept of last year.Before that I sold my Dmax 3500 & have turned my jeep into a trail rig.My 67 is in pieces,so my GMC & my H-D are it.Only problem so far is the GMC is probably going to get the Vintage Air thats for the 67,down here it's already getting humid...........Bob

Re: Daily Driving?
With the exception of the dark time in my recent past (18 months in a town car) I have had my trucks as my daily drivers since 1999, and many of those years they were my only vehicles owned.

Re: Daily Driving?
Before I started the frame off on my '69 Stepper, I drove it to work all the time, 60 mile round trip, 454/TH400/3.73's and a lot of unleaded.

Re: Daily Driving?
I have driven a 67/72 of some sort daily since 1987 and will do so until I die!I have 3 72's tagged at this time and rotate between them.Once in awhile I stick a tag on 1 of the other just to take it for a ride.
