Poll: Driver or Non-Driver - Post what you got - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**lks dcvn** · 09-10-2009, 05:05 PM

Trying to see how many Blazer/Jimmy trucks we have that are actually driven vs in some stage of restoration...

Driver - Driven Daily
Driver - Weekend Cruiser
Driver - Needs Minor Work
Non-Driver - Almost There
Non-Driver - Basket Case
Non-Driver - Parts

If you have a few Blazers - you can vote a few times -

Details and Pix of your trucks always appreciated...I voted twice for 3 trucks

Driver - Weekend Cruiser = 1969 4x4 Blazer - 350/350 - 6" Lift (Rear Blocks), 35" Tires
Driver -Needs Minor Work = 1972 4x4 Blazer 350/350 - stock lift with 31" tires

Non-Driver (Basket Case) - 1972 2WD Blazer - 454/350 lowered 2.5" and 4" - still in AZ being built - might be in Ohio by October [fingers crossed]

Weekend cruiser but not finished (almost there).

NTR72GMC · 09-10-2009, 05:55 PM

What if I have 2 basket case's?

hgs_notes · 09-10-2009, 06:55 PM

The junkyard jimmy is driveable, but not street legal, or safe for that matter (brakes).

My 2wd is basket case, though it it all in one rollable pile now.

Not quite daily although thats how I voted because I would if it never rained. I drive it every day the weatherman says it will be sunny.

cparman · 09-10-2009, 08:47 PM

driver when it is not going to rain. Weather is just about right to drive it to work every day. As soon as the motor gets back in it

70gmcjimmy · 09-10-2009, 10:35 PM

I voted non driver-almost there as I can't call it a basket case. Due to circumstances I haven't gotten much done since the body mounts. Carpet is fitted but requires a little more trimming. A little more free time to spend in the shop will be happening soon.

Later---DAC

69TowRig · 09-10-2009, 11:06 PM

Mine is hard to describe. It drives, is tagged, but never leaves the garage because it runs and drives so crappy. So it is a Driver-Basket Case!

packers05 · 09-10-2009, 11:11 PM

I have a driver that only gets run when no chance of rain, no top available

Otsa580 · 09-11-2009, 02:50 AM

Well mine's a driver but I live 4 hours away. It will be coming to its new home soon.........I hope.
I gotta kick the gf's Jeep out of the garage first.
I think I have the smallest 2 car garage ever.

Good thread idea...where'd you ever come up with it?

**lks dcvn** · 09-11-2009, 09:23 AM

saw you posted it in another thread - and I got curious as to the real comparison of what is out there...you can have credit for the idea -

VanceH · 09-11-2009, 10:20 AM

shes a daily driver she is my mine transportation

drunkbus · 09-11-2009, 12:14 PM

Weekend driver / project in progress

-Greg72 · 09-11-2009, 12:52 PM

Nope, I can't take any of the credit, Long Roof made the call.

Good thread already, should be some really interesting reading in the weeks to come.

mgass69 · 09-11-2009, 02:07 PM

Daily driver. In fact it's the only transportation I have right now so you could say I trust her.

**Yukon Jack** · 09-11-2009, 02:15 PM

The K5 gets driven just occasionally, could be driven daily but I'll let the 30 mpg vehicle do that for the most part

About the same for the K20, just driven occasionally. 8 mpg kinda sucks with a long drive to work.

Arizonak5 · 09-11-2009, 01:03 PM

damn i want a first gen so bad my 73 is just not cutting it!

Thealien · 09-11-2009, 02:19 PM

Mine is almost finished and I drive it often!! I do have "other plans" for it?

**KevsClassics** · 09-11-2009, 09:10 PM

Mine is a weekend cruiser. Take it to shows or cruise nights. been done for 12 years still add things or make changes. Always driven because we all know...
