Chances are, your daily driver of choice is probably a modern truck. After all, reliability is the name of the game when you need transportation for the dreaded freeway drive to work each and every day.

Then the weekend finally comes, and you can drag your cool truck out of the garage. The more adventurous of us choose something a little more unique for our daily transportation; a quality classic that is reliable and downright cool.  Sure, dull and boring can be useful in situations like this, but why not buy a daily that stands out from the sea of Subarus and SUVs on the road?

What you really need is this 1972 F-100, a Ford truck that is daily-driver material from top to bottom.  An older re-paint still looks great but isn’t so perfect you’ll be afraid to drive it.  New 35″ tires have a lot of miles left in them, and you’ll have a nice view of the traffic ahead with a 8″ suspension lift.

Things are comfy inside with a reupholstered bench seat and new carpet.  Plus, you can count on this old Ford for your daily dreadful ride to work, thanks to a rebuilt 390 block with less than 3,500 miles on it.  The front and rear differentials and transfer case were also re-done with the motor, meaning you can commute worry free every day!

It’s time to park that Toyota and jazz up your boring drive a little bit.  Just think; instead of sitting in stopped traffic, you can simply blaze your own trail off-road. What better way to make your dreadful work-week just a little bit better?
