This is my true Daily Driver, unless I need the Truck or I'm giving the barracuda some seat time this Polara is it...
The truck (1970) is my "new" car.

Daily driver is a 2002 Toyota Tundra extra cab SR5. Never gives me any trouble.
I've had a couple early Dodge trucks and they are very cool... That Mustang is going to ride a lot better.
You run over a dime in the road with an early Dodge and you can tell if it's heads or tails and what year the dime is.

I can't agree to much with that...... My crew cab isn't a limo but really dosen't ride and drive to bad. Not to great for city driving but I bought the truck in Cedar city Utah and drove it 2200 miles home, (North Carolina at the time). i was amazed at how well it rode, never got fatigued. The long wheel base likely has a lot to do with it. Still after 12 years and 35K miles it drives nice. Brakes........ now thats a whole different story.
Probably the wheelbase and extra weight help a lot.
I was never a fan of the manual steering either. I never drove one with power steering, so I can't comment on them.
I always thought using an early body with later frame would be an interesting combo. I bet they will bolt up too.

In a truck forum there is talk about putting the early (61-71) body on the later frame and it isn't that simple. I think it has to do with wheel placement, wheelbase etc.

Love that Maverick! We don't see any of them in the rust belt.
My daily / kid-hauler is an '05 Subaru Legacy GT 5-spd wagon. My toys are my '66 New Yorker and my '91 Toyota MR2 Turbo.
I want a brown, diesel, AWD or RWD station wagon with a manual transmission

I've seen it done and it really dosen't come off all that well ....... Basicly ruins a good sweptside truck.

My 98 ram rides like crap anybody want to buy it. My 95 neon rides better, gets better mileage, and hauls everything as well as the truck except gravel and a car trailer. I think the Peterbilt is going to get those jobs as soon as the ram finds the straw that breaks this camels back, off to the bone yard and good riddins damn gas motored thing.

That is basically what I have. Extra cab & the gutless 5.4. The 4.6 is such a better engine. I hardly wash mine as well. Silver. It hides everything.

My present daily driver is an '05 Chrysler Sebring sedan that I bought used. It's actually a pretty good car and has no rust outs on it anywhere. I've owned it three years. Since I've owned it I've had to replace a camshaft position sensor, a cooling fan motor and the timing belt. I had to have a couple of spare keys made. The PO, who was not the original owner, didn't have the keyless remote for it, so, I still don't have one.
Until I bought the Sebring, I was using one of these as my daily driver.
A 1970 Meteor Rideau 500 built by Mercury (Canada only). This isn't mine. Same car except mine is a four door without a vinyl top. Engine is a 351W. I would have to say this is the most dependable vehicle that I have ever owned. Although my Newport comes in at a very close 2nd place. My Newport is my favorite for a project car though. The Meteor is my spare driver now and could become a project too. Yes, it still runs.
My other project is a '69 F-100 powered by a 390. The 390 now has an Edelbrock Performer manifold and a Holley 4180 four barrel. I installed power steering and a 4-speed OD trans with a floor shifter. As soon as I finish putting some of the small stuff back together, I hope to really get started on my Newport.
I would consider a later model but, not new, 4x4 truck as my next daily driver.
