driven daily?
who here uses there truck as a daily driver? I drive my truck just about everyday it's not snowing or raining and I wouldn't consider it a daily driver. I'm lookin at some ebay cars and people call em daily drivers? I hope not.

Back and forth to work 5 days a week. Haul lawnmowers, pull trailer with 4 -wheeler. It is more than my daily driver, it is my daily driver/work truck. LOL and 14 sec 1/4 miles

Since I have 2 that are driveable, I alternate during the week. But, even though I don't drive each one everyday, neither gets preferred treatment as both sit in the driveway..... night & day, rain or shine.

Use to drive my C-10 as a daily driver, but now its sitting in the driveway since late summer waiting for me to install the new waterpump, new radiator, new alternator, new electric fans, new heater core, new belts, new hoses, etc. Can't seem to get motivated right now. Been driving my mom's 94 Grand Prix which doesn't help the urgency of finishing up the truck.

My 79 goes 85miles a day round trip just to work and back. Add another 30 or so at night from just cruising. My 78 used to be a daily until it killed itself one night and got borken into the next night. At that point I changed everything including the cam which ment no more daily driver

I drive mine daily when it is running. That hasn't been often lately, but I am just about done with everything. It is time to put some miles on it.

I drive mine 5 days a week as well. No time for me to really tear down and work on it with no other trasnportation. Wife drives her truck and I drive mine. With different schedules and different places working hard to use only one.

My C10 used to be my daily driver, then I got my saturn...but I think my C10 is back to being my daily driver...because gas prices finally went back down to a buck and a half a gallon.

I used to drive mine everyday, until I bought my 68 stepside about 6 weeks ago. Now I drive it daily, because The blazer is finally getting some well deserved attention in the shop.

Mine used to be, drove it everywhere and used it as a work truck (still has some epoxy on the bed). I'd like to get it back to a regular driver instead of just fixing it and driving it for a week before something else goes wrong.

I drove mine daily from the day I got it back in 77 until a year and a half ago when it went into my shop for a much needed up date. Motor is done. Wheels just came in today!!!! Now its time to narrow the rear end. then bags, then paint. After all of that I think it’s daily driving days will be over.
And to think when I started I told myself "I’m just going to rebuild that old engine" Looks like another garage queen. |

I used to drive mine everywhere until I got 373'3. For me to get to OKC and back takes about half a tank hauling butt on the highway. But it's all worth it when I race someone. I make my friends drive anywhere far away.
