Re: what do you use your truck for?

Mine's (the '73) just a toy for now too. I want it to eventually be my DD, so I can save the miles on my newer truck.

Re: what do you use your truck for?

DD, show truck, work truck, ongoing project, when I gets some helper bags it will be used as trailer hauler, chick magnet or guys that want to steal it, and if I get out of my house it will be aplace to sleep "oh wait I do"

Re: what do you use your truck for?

Mine has to be 'other' because none of the other choices apply. I basically use it for either stress relief (driving it) or a source of aggravation (working on it).... whichever I am in the mood for at the time.

Re: what do you use your truck for?

While it's a paperweight for a couple more weeks... I plan on hauling stuff. Primarily ass. Actually, that's the only thing it can haul anymore aside from a passenger or two.

Re: what do you use your truck for?

Bought it to tow a trailer / hauling. There are better trucks for the job, but they are cheap and it will do what I ask.

Re: what do you use your truck for?

Yo!
My FRANKENTRUCK will be a daily driver, some camping and 4x4, and for showing off, but right now it's mostly stationary because I need to re-torque the new 350's headbolts after running it in just a little. Hope to have the new 285x70x17 Firestones installed on the new Foose Spank wheels on Friday afternoon and maybe do the headbolts over the weekend, if it warms up.
Todd.

Mine is a daily driver back and forth to work. Don't really take it out of town too much.

Me too. Not a DD, although I drive it to "cruise nights" it is by no means a show truck. Just a toy for weekend cruising.

Re: what do you use your truck for?

well, mine is my daily driver, mostly ... but my vehicles are all attention whores, so they all get driven for the most part equally ... it also is for cruising the bar scene on the weekends ... makes drunks trip over themselves and fall over seeing a chick driving a big mean black old loud chevy truck ... and, it tows ... it carries a load when i need it to ... it's my jack of all trades kinda sweet deal all in one ...
