Classic GM Trucks - Would you drive one daily?

[396 SS/RS]

I had a '81 K5 Blazer w/350 that was a good solid truck IMO, except the gas mileage was terrible. That thing would get 10-12 MPG either climbing a mountain pass or coasting down it. Basically the mileage never changed.

I had a 1977 K5 Blazer with full time 4 wheel drive 350, auto. I miss that truck. It was my daily driver when I lived on the East coast. It went through just about anything, mud, snow, streams, etc. It was easy to work on when you climb into the engine compartment and sit on the inner fender. I wish I still had it except thanks to the NY winters it was too rotted. I'd love to find another at some point in time.

Funny that came up, a guy in town dailys a Syclone. I see it all the time all over town.

I daily drove this 92 for 10 years. It was "slightly" modified (turbo, exhaust,fueling)

Nothing could beat it between stop lights. Went 7.68@90 local 1/8th

I restored this 1986 K10. 383 with a turbo 400 and 3.73 gears on 33inch tires with a 3 inch lift. It rides a little too stiff for me to drive it every day with my back troubles. It gets a lot of attention when I get it out....esp. the small children, they love it.

All nice trucks. I had a '67 short bed fleetside and a '68 short bed fleetside, both with wood beds. Sold the '68 a few months ago and am relegated to the Peewee leagues. A 2005 Colorado 5-speed 4x4 is my daily driver. I like it and the MPG is an improvement, but different than a "real" truck.

Peewee truck, never heard that one. LOL 😂.

I ran across a few pictures of my truck sitting alongside my Z. This had to be mid 80s. You can see the rot in the truck from winter driving. Sniff... did I say I REALLY miss that truck (except for the rot). It had 33s on it and a 31 gallon tank too. You can see part of the 4 ton Walker jack in 1 picture. I picked it up at a gas station auction. Weighed a ton itself. I managed to get it into the trunk of my '64 Chevy II to transport home.
