My 72 K5 is my only driver so it has to get the job done everyday. And it does--of course.

At least 4 times a week. About 40 miles round trip to work. Some day I would like one for nice, and one for a daily driver. Darren

Duffy · 04-02-2002, 10:33 PM

Every day, rain or shine. Its my special quiet time of the day, shifting, revving, and cruising. Very peaceful.

Daily

chevyman 68 C/10 · 09-05-2002, 07:52 AM

Everyday, that is what I have driven almost all my life-67-72 trucks

tim m · 09-05-2002, 08:01 AM

I drive my 70 every day. My 71 gets driven about once a week.

bigcarguy · 09-05-2002, 08:12 AM

Everyday......when it's running

mt Al · 09-05-2002, 08:23 AM

Almost every day for 14 years (other than a few when I walked to work most every day).

Protrucks · 09-05-2002, 08:24 AM

Everyday in the Spring, Summer & Fall after all Michigan is the Great road salt state

Jwill41 · 09-05-2002, 08:31 AM

I alternate. I drive the 67 for a week or so then the 68 for a week or so then the 88 for a week or so then the 97 for a week or so. The 68 is the one I drive the most though. It is used for runs to the dump, home depot, etc.

*Zkast* · 09-05-2002, 08:32 AM

Drive it everyday, 14 miles round trip

Funny part is I bought a 93 grand am so I wouldnt have to drive the truck all the time (giving it a break) and the grand am is the one that just sits LOL. Cant be without ma Truck!

Frank_Zeller · 09-05-2002, 09:24 AM

Every day, rain or shine plus take it on long road trips to swap meets.

slam33 · 09-05-2002, 10:05 AM

it's my work truck, which sucks when ever I want to do something major to it cause I need it up and running all the time

tom hand · 09-05-2002, 10:11 AM

I drove mine every day for about 16 years then I restored it, now it sits in the garage and collects dust. I get it out about once a week if I am in town.

Kas68c10 · 09-05-2002, 10:12 AM

Daily driver

Stout72 · 09-05-2002, 10:47 AM

I drive it to work 5 days a week, except in the summer when my bike is running (which now it is not). Once in a while when I have the time I get to go out in the dirt and play.

Low68 · 09-05-2002, 10:51 AM

every stinkin chance I get!

I was going to school one day and some guy on a harley asked me about my mufflers. Said he like them! That was cool.

wlee · 09-05-2002, 10:59 AM

I drive the Longhorn everyday around the farm . . . usually with a ton or so of firewood, hay or some other farm related stuff - but I drive the Jag to & from work

I'm in the same shape as slam33 - my truck works every day, (& has for the past 24 years) so it's hard to get it in the shop to restore her. I plan to tear it down around December or January.

palallin · 09-05-2002, 12:43 PM

Daily. I'm going to have to arrange for a back-up when I finally get to do the body work next spring.

Tim Rich · 09-05-2002, 01:07 PM

Daily driver, round trip to work is 52 miles, plus many extra miles shuttling two boys to football practices and church. And then there's all those trips to the gas station...

GMC71k20 · 09-05-2002, 02:43 PM

Daily driver, not too practicle with the 4.56s but its fun.

Dan67 · 09-05-2002, 03:20 PM

My '67 is a backup vehicle and steady work truck. It hauls loads of gravel, straw, topsoil, etc. for working around the house. I drive it to work frequently, although not every day - I also have to drop off and pick up my daughter at day care, so the lack of A/C on hot days and the tight quarters for a child seat make it less desirable. I just put in a new GM Goodwrench 350 with a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty and I am hoping to get as much out of that warranty as I can, so I plan on doing several thousand miles per year.
