Re: who fires it up every single morning
Mine's not quite a DD yet, too many creature comforts left to fix. But when the weather is nice and the "creature comforts" aren't needed, I drive it.

Re: who fires it up every single morning
Every traveled mile is thanks to my daily driver. 9 mpg blows but cant complain.
Here are my tags. CRUZEZ Id rather push my CHEVY than drive your FORD There is more to life then gas mileage.

Re: who fires it up every single morning
I got a 91 Step side half ton, not same body style but I do have an 83 305 and a TH350 trans in it if that still counts. Takes me to school and work everyday I have to go. Still gets fired up at least once a day when I dont have school or work.

Re: who fires it up every single morning
150miles on new motor, Clutch, and trans bearings, t-case unknown miles out of a 76 chevy but new bearings and a twin stick conversion 10000 miles ago, same with front axel gears, bearings and all u-joints
the speedo in the truck says 998750.8 but it's not the original gauge cluster because the speedo needle was gone and the odometer did not work.... |

Re: who fires it up every single morning
Yo! It's FRANKENTRUCK's responsibility to commute 40 miles a day when the '76 Camaro can't,...due to weather.
Both pretty much "custom Todd built": And my 40 mile 2 lane EVERYDAY driver: One old Chevy, or the other, everyday. Todd.

Re: who fires it up every single morning

It has a 409sbc with 9.8:1 compression a custom ground .488 lift cam 108lsa 2.02 heads. most ppl cant believe its a daily the driver by the way it sounds and with the cam i got i cant either. with gas prices i shouldnt drive it but i just cant leave her parked!

Re: who fires it up every single morning
Mine goes thru phases when it serves as my Daily Driver. Depends on what else happens to be broke down at the time. As much as I love driving the truck, I do not like having to put miles on it (and gas in it) all the time.
It's on the road daily right now, I've got a flat to fix on the car, and have not found the motivation to work on it in the dark driveway, after getting home from work. Maybe this weekend. . . .

Re: who fires it up every single morning
My Blazer was a daily driver until it got the '83, then that was. I put one winter on the '83 and i now have a hole in each cab corner! I think I'll keep rollin the '95 Saturn until I'm done with college.

Re: who fires it up every single morning
Every day and twice on Sunday. 50 mile round trip to work and back. I put about 30k on a year on my vehicles. And now, with the Suburban, I can haul the wife, kids and all their stuff when we go on trips. I love having a DD and a tinker toy all in one package (as long as it's running, right?).
