Why do you daily drive a classic? #papasolechevy

[drygulched]

"Start every single morning." For a daily driver that's a good thing.

All those 70's trucks were like that. Immortal. My '78 Ford was beyond tired. The bearings were so worn that it had 4 psi of oil pressure at highway speed. Ran it like that with 20w50 for years.

Sneezed next to my Hyuandai sonata and now I need a new camshaft.

[tcap]

oh man....the header sparks. Freaking classic. They were fun to see at night and in the rain.

This hit me right in the feels. I miss my squarebody

My grandfather was a squarebody man....I miss him and his trucks so much. Thanks for sharing this. Brings back great memories. 👍

Right there with you buddy, I daily a 1982 Malibu Classic with the 229 v6. It leaks and has carb issues but runs everyday. Love my old chevy.

I drove a 76 Silverado step side for years starting in the early 2000s up till the mid 2010s. It was a rock solid truck and always started right up no matter how cold it was in MN. To this day it was one of the most reliable vehicles I have ever owned. I wish I never sold it.

[lindalowe]

Hell yeah!! But that goes for a lot of older trucks with good plugs, coil and a half-assed carb. Good battery too. Lol

[geirmyklebust]

My daily is 1974 El Camino, since 2017. Just love that car.

[samsquid]

some say they can start without an engine

[trapezethedoubledouble]

And people spend $70, 000 dollars on a trucks now, week later in the shop.

My 98 F150 4.6 started every morning and drove two hours a day on only 6 out of 8 cylinders, basically no brakes, no heat/ac, leaky injector, and a bad solenoid that needed a few hammer wacks to get her to turn over. The stress of trying to accelerate up the bridge without blowing the engine and then actually stopping with 100+ brake pumps on the way down definitely took years off of my life, but I still called her ol' reliable. That thing did thousands of donuts in the snow and went deeper than most offroad. Got me through a couple years out of high school and now I have reliable trucks and trailers but I miss that beast for sure.

My 72’ Chevelle El Camino Custom
-ALWAYS gets me back home💡

[dolanroufs]

FINALLY! Someone else who gets it!
EVERY DAMN TIME YOU HIT THE SWITCH

[brg]

For real! I know mines not as old. But my 99 Lincoln never fails to start. Always got cold air and hot air on demand. And feels like a couch on wheels riding a cloud lol

[lostsince]

In high school, I drove an old '77 Chevy pickup. God, I miss it!

[pauliecopez]

My first Truck. 1984 Gmc Reg Cab Long bed 4 wheel drive. 305/700r4 2 tone blue and silver. auto windows and locks. Dual 20 gal tanks.

That was about 1995 or so. I put a high country 3 inch lift
33x12.50 BFG Mud terrains
15x8 American Racing outlaw 2's
It transformed it from stock Grandpa truck to bad azz real quick.
Also I must note even with me being rough on it. It never left me stranded. It was a very reliable truck.

[charlespreiss]

Lol I feel the same way about my 20 year old wrangler. Keep driving!!

[matttagintsev]

I got a old mercedes diesel and sometimes it doesn't even want to turn off with the key out of the ignition. Same principle😂
