How Many Use their Truck for the Daily Grind?

[Corts60]

My '78 has been my daily driver since Sep 2010. I've put about 15,000 miles on it Since then. I am in school right now, live downtown and take the bus a lot so it doesn't get driven that much right now.

Because mine is a diesel, I'm not really worried about fuel prices going up. Getting 22 MPG in a square body makes me a happy man. Especially when I see that the 2012 F*rd's new ads are claiming 23 MPG's Took 'em long enough.

Having to drive my C/20 now that I sold the gas mileage Honda.

Hoping to drive the C/10 daily once my engine is swapped out.

Premium gas prices be damned, the burb will be my DD as soon as it's screwed back together, which should be any week now.

I have had my truck 11 years this month. It was my daily until 3 or 4 years ago when gas prices went nuts. I don't have overdrive, so it drinks a lot of gas. After gas prices went up, I couldn't afford to drive it daily any more.

Since that time, I have moved out to the country, and have a 30 mile drive to work each way. There's no way I could do it now.

[QUOTE=Cue-Ball;5280366]Never seen a roots blown C10 daily driver before. Kudos to you! That thing looks bad ass!

Thanks for your words as well!! That was my intentions when I built this engine combo over 4 years ago, to be a little different. Really nothing more than a glorified intake swap, except instead of just inhaling the air it is stuffing it in. The computer helps keep things street friendly. Obviously I wasn't concerned about mpg when I did this. But on the highway, even with the rear gearing, I can knock down 10 mpg. In town tho, never been able to figure that out since the weight of my right foot varies so much.

Nice shot of your truck INSIDIOUS. I'm curious about the "4" on the tailgate.

The 4s are in all my friends trucks. We all have CB and use channel 4. There is a long story behind the four though

[Zane M]

I drive my '87 V20 for work purposes. Unfortunately that has slowed the restoration to a crawl since I need it to make money.

Between me listing it on Craigslist and trying to trade it for a 4 cylinder, it's my DD.

'78 K10. 350, SM465, NP205. 12 mpg.

Driven to work every time I go, but I live pretty close.

[yousesteers]

Mine gets used if I need to pull the trailer or go some where but it is only a mile for me to work and I drive my JD Gator every day. I went 2 months and never started the truck from January to March.

Sweet jebus, I gotta go get myself a towel. BEAUTIFUL truck!

[rwhit57]

After seeing the trucks of killthewabbit and fan2zee my mind is made up! I am putting all the trim back on my truck after I paint it. I always thought I would but now I'm positive. Those trucks are beautiful. KMK454's truck is unbelievable!
