This is my wife's daily driver. Bought it fully rebuilt

We bought it for her as a replacement for her modern mini, a car that had so many electronic/computer/mechanical related issues that makes driving a rebuilt 84 pickup truck a reliability dream vehicle.

Thats a bad sign for the industry when we can run a hotrod more reliably and economically than a modern vehicle (the down side is that I've had to rewire the truck, but all is good now that everything is fresh).

Some people scream at her for daily driving it, saying it should be treated like a trailer queen, but many of those same people have new $40k+ daily drivers. We bought her truck for essentially less than what they lose in taxes and depreciation year one.
