New daily driver...
My buddy did some body damage to my '02 Tahoe that will require some downtime. Now my '72 is my daily driver. Last 3 days on CA freeways around 22 miles each way at 70MPH she is doing great. It's a damn good truck and still has a healthy original enine. I may never go back.

Re: New daily driver...
As long as gas is this cheep! I've been driving all my 67-72's now. When it gets in the $4.00 a gallon range, 10mpg 72 K20 versus 40mpg in my VW diesel pickup I have to regress. Beautiful ride there.

I doubt it sees that, that's the last thing I would put that truck in.

Re: New daily driver...
Ditch the Tahoe....roll this 72 every day. The only vehicles I own are two 72's myself. Both get driven daily, the way it should be. Chairs make good garage furniture...our trucks do not.

Amen! I'm in the process of restoring my 72 Cheyenne Super. She has pulled boats, hauled hay, and worked on a farm her whole life. Still has a strong original drive train, but I want to make her look sharp again. But I can promise she will never be a Garage or Trailer Queen! She'll be taking me to the lake and camping and to work (just like she does now)... only with a better appearance! ![]() As she sat when my dad gave me the keys earlier this month. |

Re: New daily driver...
Just funnin wit him jimbo. Why have a 4x if your not going to use it? Hunting-fishing-mudding-hill climbing-pullin the sleds/dirt bikes-or just getting home...............It would look real cool in its element? We have a name for 4x that never leave the pavement. LOL
