Daily Drivers? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Dub_X · 08-28-2012, 12:44 AM

Hmm...there was a thread like this in the '67-'72 section, but it never really went anywhere, can't guarantee this one will either, but it peeked my interest

.
So...how about pics of your daily drivers?

Here's mine, my '92 GMC Shortwide.

I'm a little curious to see if this thread keeps going or dies.

The wife's on the left. I usually swap between the 99 2dr tahoe (4 sale) and 98 z28. The truck stays in the garage for now and used when needed for a truck.

red94chev · 08-29-2012, 10:17 PM

Usually 7 days a week.

cochino12 · 08-29-2012, 10:37 PM

nice trucks guys. My '00, I drive it everyday in the summer and but it sits WAY too much in the winter

**special-K** · 08-30-2012, 06:46 AM

Here's my '92 K3500. I don't just drive it,I work it...

First in '92,then in '01,'07,'11,and yesterday after I washed it

**LEEVON** · 08-30-2012, 09:03 AM

My last (4) dailys in order from 2008. I guess I have truck ADHD. The '99 is current but has yet to be modded...stay tuned.

bpeters5814 · 08-30-2012, 09:26 AM

My '94 K2500. It works on the farm, pretty hard some days. Pull water tanks, seed tender, pipe trailers, car trailer, etc. with it. Some days I'd like to upgrade to something with an 8.1, but this one is paid for and gets the job done.

Here's my 97:

Nice assortment of vehicles you got there. . . . . .

Dub_X · 08-30-2012, 10:18 PM

I'm definitely liking what I see. A lot of nice trucks. I guess there are a lot of us that have projects for daily drivers

1badgmc · 08-30-2012, 10:21 PM

I drive too much to be able to afford a truck for a driver, so I roll around in my Caddy.

My wife doesn't do much driving, so she gets to roll around in the bus.

YBNORML · 08-31-2012, 12:24 AM

Here's mine, The x-cab was my daily for years but it was getting too cramped in the back for the kids so I sold it and bought the crew. It will soon get an altitude adjustment similar to the x-cab. The Tahoe is the wife's.

Dub_X · 08-31-2012, 09:38 AM

@1bad, hell I'd love to roll around in that 'Burb.

have you been watching the build thread my dad and I are working on?

I'm subscribed. I look in from time-to-time.

old_blue_truck · 08-31-2012, 08:53 PM

If its sunny I am on my street bob

If theres a chance of rain I am on my XR650L

If its actually raining then my 2012 Z71 I bought a few weeks ago

And I hope by next spring this will be my daily once its done.
88 C1500 I was driving until I stripped it down for a frame off/short bed conversion

*project 67 sub* · 08-31-2012, 09:20 PM

here is my i guess you can call it a somewhat daily driver... that is when im home, it gets driven a few days or so every 6 weeks. and now that i can drive the burb again, it should hopefully be driven just as much. so i guess you can say they are both daily drivers

red94chev · 08-31-2012, 10:29 PM

That sub is badass dude.

jb1016 · 09-01-2012, 10:25 AM

Lol, it's gone a long way from how it started. No updates for a month, but our last update was a pretty big one, I'd say

Dub_X · 09-01-2012, 01:35 PM

JB, how are you liking the SS wheels? I was thinking about getting one for my spare. Are you running 60s or stock 235's?

jb1016 · 09-01-2012, 02:07 PM

275/60s -- I love 'em...my old eagle alloys were in really good shape, but kinda out of style. These are classic.

bloertcher · 09-01-2012, 03:09 PM

This is my daily,when I bought it.I have boxes and boxes of stuff for it,and a fresh engine on a stand,I'm hoping to spend some quality time with her in the shop this winter.(I'm a farmer like many other members here,so my only free time is when it's too damn cold to do anything else)
When all is said and done,I'm hoping for a blue version of JB's truck.Just a clean,low,solid driver.
