hahahaha ^^ that made me laugh. i played baseball in high school with a hefty kid who could drink an entire milkshake from braum's in like 4 or 5 seconds... his nickname was "Big Thirsty"


70c10 - that's one of my favorite rides that ive seen so far, i dunno why but it just stands out to me. i love the color and the stance seems just right.

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

My son dubbed my 68 "The Hot Rod Truck":



Dad's 72, "Deuce":



My GMC, called "Jim":



My old 67 GMC, we call it "Sissy" cause it has faded to a pinkish color:



I don't have a pic of my 70 4x4 handy, but it is the factory bronze color, and we call her "Goldie".

Sorry gloc, but no GM truck deserves that name, regardless of the color.

Just teasing . To each his own, but I just couldn't let the thought pass.

For me, I've been collecting names and trying to decide for 2 weeks now.

Here's my top 5.
a. BluByU (Would fit on our state's 6 position licence plate)
b. Thunder Truck
c. Blue 'Zilla
d. See-Ten and
e. Mighty Blue

I like BluByU the most because of its double meaning and reference to the truck's color, but haven't made the final decision.

Any of you like to offer your thoughts?

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

Mine is a 69 stepside that is 3 different colors. A 6 cylinder with no extra options. His name is "FLASH". My niece pained it on both doors along with a lightning bolt. It doesn't get any better than that. lol

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

We name our vehicles original names...
My truck is "Orange". Always has been (since it's been orange).

My dad's truck is "Red". It is a red dually.

My wife's car is just, "Your car".

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

I've tried to name a few of my trucks, but it didn't seem to matter to them. No matter how many times that I stood outside and called for them, they still wouldn't come.

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

Mine are not that orignal but my dad got me started by naming his cars this way.
(Mine)
68 C-10, 68 or the 68
71 Gremlin X, the gremlin or gremmy
03 Pontiac Vibe, the vibe

(My dads)
48 pontiac, the pontiac
41 Plymouth truck, the Plymouth
07 Chevy HHR, the hhr

The 68 has been called, cold blooded pos, slow and my Girlfriend calls it Clifford after Clifford the big red dog.

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

Ill start with my wife’s suburban "Jimmy" (appropriate after she keeps locking the keys in it and I have to keep jimmying the door to get in) . My 93 GMC pickup (Betsy) the kids love that one. And my 70 "Orange Juice" (I wonder why)
