Ole Blue 68 · 03-29-2007, 05:00 PM

Here's a stretch. 'Ole Blue.....

Although I do call it the "Pickemuptruck" when I drive my 1 y/o daughter in it. She loves ridin' in the Pickemuptruck.

snj8198 · 03-29-2007, 05:12 PM

my folly!

**SactoJim** · 03-29-2007, 05:17 PM

"MP"

Money Pit!

sb69chevy · 03-29-2007, 06:21 PM

My 5 yr old daughter has always called ours Ole Green, and she calls the CRV Ole Black.

cstanley · 03-29-2007, 06:32 PM

wife calls the green '72 "that thing" and of course the blazer is the "sportchicken" or "the bird"

68 P.O.S. · 03-29-2007, 07:01 PM

I call mine Mr. Truck...my wife calls it "your POS".

ms. Attitude · 03-29-2007, 07:34 PM

'04 ford crew cab "the FORD"
'90 chevy short/fleet 4x4 "the CHEVY"
'67 c10 short/fleet "ol' Blue"
'91 chrysler Imperial "white lightning"

bagged91 · 03-29-2007, 07:39 PM

Depends on how it's running that day...

Like today, it's unfit for print what I call my truck.

turner15 · 03-29-2007, 07:54 PM

My Blue 80 25 is old Blue
My 89 Black LeSabre is the Fun Machine
My Wifes o6 Mini vav is **** box
My 71 project is yet to be named. It is yellow and has lots of custom work
it is a gmc custom 1500, so maybe just Custom?
I Had a blue 79 gmc called it Blue Nothing II

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?

Sport Chicken?

That's hilaroious!! I love it!!

ND_guy · 03-29-2007, 08:11 PM

My father named mine for me. When I bought it the timing and carburation were so far off that at shut down it would diesel for a few seconds then let out the most terrific, deafening backfire. He christened it "THE BOMB" and even after I fixed it the name stuck.

THE BOMB

RANDY COX · 03-29-2007, 08:38 PM

Well let's see when mine doesen't want to shut off and decides it wants to desiel not all the time just sometimes well then I call it a _ICTH Well you get the idea.

fourty1 · 03-29-2007, 09:00 PM

I prefer the WhiteKnight. while my teen age daughters refer to 'it' as
" Your' Other Old Truck "

MXmaniac · 03-29-2007, 09:18 PM

She has been dubbed "Mean Green".

Down south truckin · 03-29-2007, 09:32 PM

the black truck
meanie greenie
the farm truck
the beast
the rock
J B (the 96 year old p/o initials R.I.P.)after him owning the truck since 1973 it just seemed right to name it after him
rampy aka the ramp truck

ChevyDude · 03-29-2007, 09:40 PM

Why...Lil' Red ...of course.

dan42 · 03-29-2007, 09:45 PM

My son named mine, 'the beast' -

Webrigs · 03-29-2007, 11:20 PM

I've named most of my trucks after the previous owner; The truck I wish I had back more than all of the others was named Butch. '70 SWB with 5-lug conversion, tilt, tach, buddy buckets, and a very healthy 350. I was the 2nd owner and Butch was the gentleman who bought it new.

I'm breaking the trend with my red '68 by naming it Lucy after N2Billet's fantastic ride.

dave2953 · 03-29-2007, 11:39 PM

I call mine "Big Orange" and $&#!@/? WHORE!! Just depends on the day.

Rokcrln · 03-30-2007, 12:12 AM

Well most people can guess a few of mine. My 70 is Low Buck and my 71 is Slow Build. I just ordered my plates last week
LOW BUK
SLOW BLD

My 70 2WD Blazer also got it's plates but that one can not be revealed yet

Shyguy · 03-30-2007, 01:27 AM

My 71 C-10 I called Ole Farm Truck, but tonight my wife renamed it "Da Beast".

The 92 GMC K-3500 Duallie is called the "The He-Man Truck".

The 86 Toyota 4-Runner is called the "Foul Weather Vehicle".

The 93 Camry is called the work car.

The 2005 Grand Marquis is called "My Car", of course my wife is talking about it being her car.

Here is a picture of the "Da Beast".

I drive it when I want to take a break and remember simpler times.
