Features Does anyone actually use their hot rod truck?

Not mine, but I'd love to build something similar to it for a workhorse/beater type - only a little nicer.

 

Weekly.
I bought a house so now its being used to haul houshold goods for remodeling etc too.

 

Well Used Every single day!! Gotta love that Buzzard Roost

 

All the time. I don't waste that bed.

 

My wife takes it to Lowes and loads it up with flowers and crap, but it also hauls cool stuff from time to time.



-Abone.

 

I've used it more then a few times. But here are a couple examples.

 

Mine is going to haul some lumber to repair our spa deck this weekend. I also hauls flowers for my wife. Have to be careful as my classic license has limits about it's use.

 

That what there were all made for originaly. Especialy the trucks. I will use mine to be used as a truck just like any other regular truck. If it made just for show then it not realy fun to enjoy all the way.

 

gona use it like how grandpa used it for camping. Side jobs. Daily driver. Maybe dump runs. Not pull out tree roots lol he did. Ad a tow hitch pull a trailer ect... Use it the same way my new silverado can do.

 

yep....been on the road 8 years and just turned over 90 thousand.....goes to the dump and shopping...

even tows it's little brother around....when it's not on the road then my 56 Vicky is....us car guys are so lucky

 

That's actually my father's truck. He drives that thing everywhere and is pretty much his daily during the summer. Though it isn't pretty, it does drive down the road at highway speeds very comfortably...

 

Off to a swap meet

 

That is THE Best application of a tractor grill shell, ever!"

 

Best swap meet camper ever.

 

haulin' ass-phalt

 

who's thinking about firewood?
fresh cut red oak.

 

Ladder not tall enough

 

Wish I had pictures, but used my avatar once to carry both 289s and Paragon trasmissions from my boat at the marina to my home. The truck never rode better.

 

Going to pick up my new motor for my hotrod truck in my hotrod truck.

 

loaded down with ~1000lbs of concrete. Not bad for a bagged and C-notched truck with a 16" bed depth!

Our recreational use...

 

Back in late 60's I met a guy at work and went to his house to see his 34 Ford project...In his driveway was a stock 38 Ford Dump Truck; with a 401 Buick nail head with hurst motor mounts and a trans adaptor! Stock trans and rear end, faded paint and rust and dinged bed..Just an around town neighborhood helper...Of course every once in a while the urge to open the four barrel and catch some unsuspecting person in a car or pick up by surprise couldn't be resisted..Most times the rear axle would hold up, once in a while not..

 

64 gmc. 350 pontiac engine. Th400 trans and a 2.79 rear from a 78 pickup. Disc brakes from a 78 also. Needless to say it drives great down the highway.

I have a 4 dr 07 chevy right now. When the time comes I don't have to haul my mother in law, Mom, or grand kids, I'm going with a 50's or 60's chevy, camaro sub frame, later rear end and a/c for the wife. Wish I could do it now. Damn taxes and insurance anymore kills you. I see these new trucks at work with a $60,000 price tag and wonder how anyone affords to own them.

 

No, the bed is too short,so just hauled luggage,Poinsettia's and Christmas Trees. HRP

 

OK, I'm the odd ball, just haul ass.
Especially after I refinished the bed wood.

 

I use my crummy ol Dodge every day

 

Awesome thread how come I never saw before! I'll be using my f-1 as a truck should be when I'll finish it.
