My wife has named my truck: "The Blue Sh**hole". She hates it with a passion.

mrein3 · 10-14-2002, 12:55 PM

Old Faithful.

I bought it from a good friend who lives in Wyoming. When he had it there...
Well its a Chevy so you know why it is called old faithful.

White Thunder because it's loud.
Wish it was fast - then it'd be White Lightnin'.

LOL....that's something I thought I'd never see...

Another vehicle named Mahana!!!!

Seriously. Some friends of mine had an '80s-vintage Chevy wagon of some sort...ugly and beaten down...so they called it Mahana and used the classic phrase "Mahana, you ugly!" whenever they could.

I haven't really ever thought of a name for mine, though. It's just that damn blue GMC to most people around here.

diggin69 · 10-14-2002, 03:45 PM

I call it digger.......its a 3/4 4x4 & it hasnt been stuck yet, I pull FORD BOYS OUT!!!! LOL

Cliff · 10-14-2002, 04:13 PM

A friend from school last year named my 1972 Long Wheel Base 1/2 ton Chevy "The Blue *****" It's big, it's blue, it's loud. It has kinda stuck I imagine. Cliff

Custom 68 · 10-14-2002, 04:31 PM

old dusty truck
compliments of my 4 1/2 year old (3 at the time)
She sits in my shop and collects dust.

68ChevC10 · 10-14-2002, 04:33 PM

The Blue Beast. She's been called Cliff's truck's name but I usually apologize afterwards and give her an oil change or run Super Unleaded through her.

adamls · 10-14-2002, 04:50 PM

I call mine "Pieces", because that is what it is in right now.

Truck Hippy · 10-14-2002, 04:52 PM

Hey. I call my truck "Bomb" because its so beat up and junkie looking, it looks like it has been in an explosion.

**Palf70Step** · 10-14-2002, 06:09 PM

Don't really have any myslef...Mostly it goes by
"The Old Shed Truck"...named by my 3yr old....cuz....it's my old truck and it's private parking area is at the shed.

PanelDeland · 10-14-2002, 07:05 PM

LIZ because the guy I got it from called it Elizabeth after an Allman Bro's song.My wife just calls it the other woman.I tell her at least she knows where I am since my truck is my hobby and I quit drinking heavily years ago.

JackP · 10-14-2002, 10:37 PM

"American Pie"
1) It's all American.
2) That song was released the same year the truck was "born".

GMC71k20 · 10-14-2002, 10:39 PM

on a good day its called evelyn, a bad day, "that damn thing"

colohusker · 10-14-2002, 10:43 PM

My boys named it old yeller when I brought it home. I just call it the truck, and the wife calls it the dump truck since the only time she likes it is when I haul junk to the dump.

*Zkast* · 10-14-2002, 10:48 PM

Same here, "Ole Yeller" is her name. Thats the '71...

The '72 has been named by my wife... She calles it " HERS "

She's hooked now... she cant wait until I finish the engine for it.

Brewski* · 10-14-2002, 10:57 PM

The RED ROCKET now because it was red and loud as a Rocket when I got it. Not to mention I am a Sammy Hagar fan. It will be Black Betty when she returns to the 500 Black factory paint someday. Wooooho Black Betty bamb ba lamb~! This truck rocks~!

LS1 K-5 Blazer · 10-14-2002, 11:04 PM

The Jolly Green Giant.
It is happy because I saved it from the wrecking yard. Guy was to mechanically challenged to put a starter in it and hook up a fuseable link.
And it is the the biggest thing I have ever owned on four wheels!

O'l Buck · 10-15-2002, 12:55 AM

I call mine Ol' Buck.......because it rides like crap.

Patrick Sullivan · 10-15-2002, 01:10 AM

Hehe.. all my friends started calling it "The Beast", so that's what it is..

Xzavior240 · 10-15-2002, 03:24 AM
