My '64 is a daily driver and if I can get the heater installed soon it will still be driven through the winter.

Rich 5150 69 · 11-02-2010, 08:04 PM

Dailey driver and starting to show it, 25 miles to work and back everyday plus some excursions for vintage tin hunt has been for the last 19 years or so........

my 66 is my daily driver. its alittle inconvenient sometimes with no power steering, no power brakes, and a broken speedo but i love drivin the thing. my 05 gmc gets driven maybe once a week. to bad i still have to pay 300 a month.

63redsled · 11-03-2010, 05:06 PM

I have a 63 that I drive almost everyday... minus the bad weather days...

blackmopar · 11-03-2010, 05:36 PM

my 64 was my DD for about a year and a half - took it off the road for a few quick fixes (about a year ago..DOH!!) but is just about to be again - minus days I still wanna ride the scoot

20 miles each way.

Mine is not done yet, but I am building it with the intention for it to be my daily driver. Olds 350, TH-350, and whatever gears are in the rear end now. Before I got my '03 Ranger about 5 years ago I drove my '79 Camaro everywhere and every day for about 5 years, sun, rain, snow, whatever. Loved it and miss driving a classic daily.

Drive to high school...

az65 · 11-04-2010, 06:42 PM

I used my 65 for a dd until a couple weeks ago. Have to go through the brakes and put a tire on the front before she returns to dd duty.

Mine was purchased to be a daily driver...

BUT I CAN'T STOP CUTTING IT UP!

SOMEBODY STOP ME, I CAN'T CONTROL MYSELF!

63AROD · 11-10-2010, 06:45 PM

63 w/292 and 3 on the tree. Drive it daily 50 miles round trip, Gas Is my #1 enemy! hahah. I need a small 4cyl during the week.

az65 · 11-10-2010, 07:21 PM

haha, I drive mine since it gets such good mileage compared to my other truck which nets single digit mileage

enick72 · 11-11-2010, 02:14 AM

I use my 65 as a DD and since I swapped out the 4 speed for the T5 I REALLY love driving it, it's like having a new truck. Of course I have to swap off with the 55 so it doesn't get upset

I am still running the inline 6cyl. I just changed engines about 1 month ago to a 250ci but same basic thing. The T5 is awesome with the 6 cyl. best thing I've done to the truck, P/S nice but the 5 spd is really great. Others on this board have done this also and have pretty much the same response. Last Friday I drove 2 hours south and back and it just cruises down the highway nice and smooth.

dallas71 · 11-11-2010, 04:31 PM

I have been driving mine everyday for about 3 years
