I use my 67 as my primary vehicle.

rico7769 · 08-30-2012, 10:29 PM

every chance I get! When I'm not waiting to replace the seat in it I get to drive it even more.

**Already Gone** · 08-30-2012, 10:52 PM

I bought my 72 in 2001 and I've put on 5500 miles in 11 years.

Im disapointed with all the daily drivers with no pics. Not to brag but as a badge of honor!

I drive my original paint BB SWB 72 GMC every day 15 miles each way to the Air Force base and back rain or shine and my daughter drives the 71 to school and back everyday as well... rain or shine.

Impressive! Especially that your daughter drives a '71 daily!

jeffg1010 · 08-30-2012, 11:51 PM

Every day, weekdays, weekends, vacations, short trips, long trips... In fact, picking up my kids at school is much easier in my Burb ... it doesn't blend into the sea of mini-vans. The teachers know its me and have the kids ready to roll. If I take my company car or the wifes mini-van, I get carded. Which means, it isn't my smiling face they know, it's the Burb.

**allchevy58** · 08-31-2012, 12:52 AM

At least once a week, got to drive them all.

BIGBLU 72 · 08-31-2012, 11:13 PM

in HS i split time between my 72 Jimmy and 68 Chevy. i sold the Jimmy to buy a Silverado SS but after a year im ready to sell the SS and drive my 68 full time! the world looks so much better thru the windshield of an old Chevy (or GMC) truck

LilD · 09-01-2012, 07:55 PM

I used to drive my 70 every day but after gas started soaring I bought a 63 Valiant with a slant 6. I use the truck just for hauling stuff now and thats maybe once a month

74baggedbug · 08-31-2012, 06:35 AM

I dont drive it near as much as I should, that's why I had to get the carb rebuild... I try and drive it to work once a week now

Billett · 08-31-2012, 12:37 PM

Daily. About twice a week I drive it 50 miles to work and 50 miles back.

EDIT: what's wrong with flowmasters?

RINC · 08-31-2012, 04:29 PM

I drive my K-20 dailey !

At work pic. I drive a whopping 8 mile round trip each day !

I aint no high schooler either ! Though now I am old an got doctors appointments. Why 'O why does the doctors office have to be 40 miles east of me in Gilbert ?

With all the miles I am putting on it, stuff is breaking so I am trying to keep up with the maintenance. Once all the bugs are worked out, it'll be a reliable driver.

Sicklajoie · 08-31-2012, 05:34 PM

From April to October I take the 69'er out 5-6 nights a week to cruise nights and car shows. Last year I put 3500 miles on her and this year it will be another 4500 or so.

chevelle · 08-31-2012, 05:47 PM

Every day! I don't have anything else to drive! I'm gonna get a newer 3/4 ton to pull my trailer someday, but even when I get that I will drive my 67 every day. It gets 19 mpg so why wouldn't I drive it haha. Plus I don't think my day would be complete with out hearing the old girl purr down the road

R.L. · 08-31-2012, 07:33 PM

Well it's not my daily driver but it is my truck I use it for what ever hauling I need to do, some weekend trips and a lot of time traveling.[IMG]#171[/IMG]

dbstepside · 08-31-2012, 08:28 PM

i normally try to drive mine to work once a week. that's about a 20 mile round trip and then i drive it all i can on the weekend. normally just short trips and to some cruise ins and local car shows. i normally ration myself to 20 or 25 dollars in gas a week and thats not really alot of driving with my big block, but it sure is FUN.

casey g · 08-31-2012, 11:14 PM

i drive mine everyday and spend over 500 bucks a month in gas!
just put the 68 front clip on

LIGHT EM UP · 09-01-2012, 12:42 AM

I drive it as much as I can! I love that old truck

Cool pic!

I'm going to have to take mine up to the cinders and snap a few.

noco-k5 · 09-01-2012, 02:35 PM

I plan on driving my 1970 Blazer almost daily this winter. I only work about 10 minutes from where I live so it's not a big deal. My other car is a 2012 Mustang GT so I definitely don't plan on driving that in the snow.
