Re: daily drivers
Mine's my avatar, Drive it sometimes seven days a week.
Don't drive it if i can help it during the ice and snow here in the atlanta,ga. area. That would be just asking for some of the IDIOTS around to kill it.

Re: daily drivers
Thanks Keith. At first I didn't like it but as I learned why it was like that and used it, it's grown on me a lot. I've been thinking bout shortening the sides a lol thought cuz they run and scratch the bedside

Re: daily drivers
Oh man! I love the DD thing, and that's what I'm doing with my 70. But after seeing all these... I'M NOT WORTHY!!

Re: daily drivers
Looked for more. Not as many as I thought. It's a 402/400/AC/Sport. Interior is almost back together after a strip-and-clean and some Lizard Skin coating. Trying a newer/smaller GMC wheel which works well but loses that 1970 look. And... have you ever seen a cat that likes to ride in a truck? Now you have...

Re: daily drivers
Rusty that's cool blue right there. GM truck medium blue?
I am working on the same stance and wheel/tire package for my 69 right now. Some day maybe I can squirt some med blue on it too.
