You know, I had a 2008 version of this truck w the 4.3l in it and the gas milage was actually worse than the 5.3 version for the same year! After I sold it I used the money buy a 2005 HD Sportster and a 61 Suburban. The suburban with a 292 and a four speed get better milage than the 08!

The HD is my main transport:

And the Suburban is back-up/bad weather/Utah winter transport:

(the panel in the back is under construction but will share daily duty with the HD once it's street legal.)

My bad, I should have explained. I miss my 49 Panel. Wrong place, wrong time. Had to part with it.

Now back to our regularly scheduled thread.

Sorry man but you had me pulling into defensive mode! I freakin' LOVE my panel and I wasn't sure why you would have said that so thanks for the explanation! I have a thing for panel's and if I ever had to let mine go I'm sure I would feel the same as you about loosing yours. Sorry man!

Sold the Titan a month ago. It was my partial DD. The first 3 years i had it i only put 24,000 miles on it.

Bought the 72 3 weeks ago today. Until today i had driven it every day. 400+ miles and counting so far.

The Harley is my true DD. I average around 20K a year on the bike. (good to live in the south sometimes) Now that i have the truck I want though, my miles might decrease a little per year. (Truck will be driven to work and back more often than the Titan was)

prairewolf · 07-21-2011, 05:35 AM

this one will be our " Daily '' this weekend. ..my side Family campout.... the song '' Chevy Van '' by Sammy Johns pops into my head a lot when I am driving it or looking at it ........I like that song. ......

thanks for listening, ......life is good,kent

p.s. ....... I know the hubcaps do not match, it has bugged me off and on since day one......... but thinking about it right now. I will put the back 2 on pass. side and front 2 on driver side and see how that looks if it works.

Looks like fun. Hub caps smubcaps that needs some wheels and bags
maybe some skirts in the back. Flat black. I can see it now.

......

as far as I will go is probably removing the hubcaps and hammer texture white the wheels. ....I have A Lot of room in my budget for rust-oleum mods.

Cheers!

bouncytruck · 02-17-2012, 12:59 PM

I have a new daily. If you look back, I had an Infiniti G35. The economy forced a down size. I drove my Blazer daily for about a year and then picked up this '01 Jetta wagon for $3,500 in the fall (heated seats are nice in the winter!) I just put the wheels on it - bought them for $250 with brand new tires! I'm planning to lower it a bit this summer.

Matt Man · 02-18-2012, 12:46 PM

Here is a update to mine.

NONHOG · 02-18-2012, 02:21 PM

Apache63 I love the look of that truck!

I'm not using the Silverado as a DD
only because my wife rides the train now. I get the Scion XB again.

Hard to compare 17mpg vs. 30+mpg. I'll miss my truck

my DD now ,was my fathers its 2000 toyota tundra limited ed. v8 with 42k miles

GMC91 · 02-20-2012, 04:53 AM

Heres mine, all original(when I bought it anyway) 91 Silverado. Lowered 3-4. V-6 5 Speed, gets excellent gas mileage.

krazy_texan · 02-21-2012, 12:51 PM

here is mine. the lincoln need a little bit of work but runs good and strong. starting to do a few engine upgrades to it. the 65 is just a beater with a heater for now. it just depends on which one has the most gas in it on when it gets driven.
