Name that truck...

Obviously, there's a lot of masochistic love here. I'm cuious how many of our beloved blazers have names? We've got a running tally on 4x4's, so I'd like a similar count of named trucks. POS, !@#$, etc. do not count.

I present the Fox. 383 TBI stoker, 700r4, 4x4.

Re: Name that truck...

My wife lovingly dubbed my last K5 "bouncytruck". The name has been transfered to my 72 although it is technically "bouncy 2". My daughter (4) calls it "daddy's bouncytruck" and she loves riding in my truck.

Re: Name that truck...

Originally the blazer was named "Orange Crush" but that name has been used so many times that it got changed to "Daily Driver". Still looking for a good name for the blazer. One of my wife's friends named the 71 pickup "Purdy Sweet". The wife always tells me it will melt if it ever sees some rain.

Re: Name that truck...

Well I'll take Orange Crush cause thats what everyone calls it. Maybe I'll change it one day but anything else would be to classy for the old girl. Edit: VinceY thats an awesome looking blazer I wish mine looked that clean.
