Re: Whats your trucks name

I've named my dog and my kids, but not the truck......any name/s my truck ever had was temporary and could never be repeated on this website for fear of being permanently banned.

Name my truck....that's just silly.

I do have my name painted under the driver's side window and the little lady's name under the passenger side window.......RIGHT!

Re: Whats your trucks name

Ours is named "Jumpin Jimmy". And I talked to my mechanic/restorer last night and it will be home for the holidays.

I'll get some new pics sometime next week.

Re: Whats your trucks name

I refer to my '69 Chevy as "the white truck, or the Chevy."
And my '72 GMC as "the blue truck, or the GMC."

Now, the previous owners called my '72 Plymouth "Elvira." I still use that name because I think it may be a problem trying to change it. Kinda like giving a puppy a new name.

Re: Whats your trucks name

Nothing special here. Called the 72 old green before the 69 came along, but also call the 69 old green. I guess it will be confusing when I get the 72 on the road.

Re: Whats your trucks name

My truck is named "NUTHIN' FANCY" (see sig for explanation)......I've also been known to call it "the green machine" since it's green. But when I'm in an affectionate mood she's "Betsy"....don't know why, there are probably a million "Betsys" out there.Just sounds like an appropriate name for an old vehicle, and as others have said there's that feminine attachment.
