So who hasn't parked their truck yet? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sboris · 02-01-2015, 07:26 PM

Looking for the year round guys. Not a daily driver here, but almost every weekend. Had to really try out the 4 wheel dr. We got 10in last nite. You sunny and 75 guys are welcome to chime in too

.

Andy4639 · 02-01-2015, 07:44 PM

Nice pictures man. Love the snow and the lake in the background!

Mine is in the garage right now waiting on my console to get finished so I can install everything inside.

sboris · 02-01-2015, 07:52 PM

Hope that console comes through for ya soon. Sounds like youll be back on the road soon?

TheCougarine · 02-01-2015, 07:54 PM

I originally bought mine as a project but it quickly replaced my former DD once i worked out a few electrical problems. We haven't got much snow down here really so no snow pictures to show

Andy4639 · 02-01-2015, 08:11 PM

I could have it abled in a few hrs. I've been fixing small stuff. My friend in the local truck club is doing it so I'm not rushing him. He sent me a picture of it today! He has it primered! It was in pretty bad shap but I told him to do what he could with it. It looks wonderful compared to what it did before Christmas.

redbaron · 02-01-2015, 08:24 PM

Can't wait to get the K10 done and go play in the snow. Sure like your truck Shawn.

john@thepier · 02-01-2015, 08:36 PM

I look forward to the day I finish this project, hopefully I will have finally made the move up to the Bison farm. I have promised my self that I will be using the truck year round / all the time and not a garage queen. But I know she will be grounded to the farm only during salt season and street driven only after heavy new snows, before the salt trucks go down them. I started this one approximately 8 years ago with parts all bought here on this awesome site. PS. I really dig your truck, thanks for the steering stabilizer, I know yours isn't seeing salt. ;~)) John

slikside · 02-01-2015, 09:59 PM

SB,

Your truck is kickass!

Very Cool!

Beautiful pics, too.

kowboy63 · 02-01-2015, 10:36 PM

Mine stays parked most of the time but I did take it out for a short drive today, usually drive it around a little every week or so just to keep it going. I bought it to eventually restore but I haven't started yet, I knew when I bought it I would need to wait a while before doing much work on it. I have twins (boy/girl) in college so most of my funds are spoken for at the moment but if all goes well they will be finished by this time next year.

**special-K** · 02-01-2015, 11:22 PM

I'll go out before they plow and salt. I no longer have the Chevy but have the GMC still

18" snow day Dec '09:

Weird. I cut 'n' pasted this from my Photobucket, went back and I must have been on a different page. I went back page by page to the first, then back up past where I know I was and can't find the pictures I had. Oh well, forget it. I'm too tired to let this frustrate me. I have more...somewhere

I like your pic, even if you are confused. lol

hounddogs! · 02-02-2015, 12:17 AM

Just a dusting this morning, but the new driver in the house wanted the Jeep. The C20 went out rather than the Buick.

Your right no salt! Looks like yours is coming along.

Cool pics, confusing or not, keep em coming!

**thelonerife** · 02-02-2015, 12:55 AM

I drive mine when I can but it seems to be not very often. This was the last time I went out with it a week ago. 2nd pic is from this past summer.

**special-K** · 02-02-2015, 01:07 AM

Nice trucks, but shouldn't they be in the garage under a blanky?

I found another one in my gallery from the same snow, and here's my GMC:

67ChevyRedneck · 02-02-2015, 01:14 AM

I see no truck in the 2nd pic?

Mine don't get put away either, I had the windows down in the Mustang yesterday, I love SC.

**leddzepp** · 02-02-2015, 01:21 AM

Almost 80 today. Cut down Palm trees and other vegetation, loaded up the 68. Headed to the transfer station to dump it tomorrow.

**leddzepp** · 02-02-2015, 01:22 AM

Ready to roll

67swb72klb · 02-02-2015, 01:27 AM

The weather has been dry a lot and gas is so cheap so I been driving the k10 some but tonight we were getting hit with a bunch of the white stuff and the HHR was not up to the trip so I took it to go watch the super bowl

Daman · 02-02-2015, 07:49 AM

If I park it I'd be walking.

Lee H · 02-02-2015, 10:00 AM

I'm one of the lucky ones. Daily driver. Only supposed to get to 75 today, burrrr. Might have to break out a long sleeved t-shirt.

1972BlueC20 · 02-02-2015, 10:34 AM

I'm one of those lucky daily driver guys.....weather has been pretty awesome in Southeast Texas!

It's in the 50's today but sunny!

mrein3 · 02-02-2015, 11:30 AM

I put more time in my truck in the winter - but put way less miles on it compared to the summer months.
It is my primary driveway clearing tool. It is also my primary ice fishing vehicle. Both jobs keep the the truck away from the salted roads.

kcsa75 · 02-02-2015, 02:36 PM

I probably drive my 72 more than most, but generally doesn't leave the drive way when there's snow and ice.

However, it was 4 degrees this morning and my Explorer was having an electrical issue so I drove me truck to work. What does that tell ya?
