Re: names

GR8WYTE (white '64 Chevy C10)
BCKNBLK (black '66 Chevy K10)
LILRD66 (red '66 Chevy C10)
OLEBLUE (blue '65 Chevy C10)
BIGRED (red '66 Chevy K10)
BIGBLUE (blue '66 Chevy K20)
OLRED66 (red '66 Chevy C20)
OLRUSTY (maroon '65 Chevy C10)
19SEXY5 (red '65 Chevy C10)
19SEXY6 (red '66 Chevy C10)

Most of these trucks have the name on the antique plates. I had to name them to keep them straight.

Re: names

I named mine Betsy. I thought she reflected the lyrics of the Beach Boys song. My girlfriend named the '64 Cad Mable that I just bought. All of our old rides need names.

Big Slice Low Price. HAHA I was working on the drivers door and a old shirt pin fell out. It was from a old pizza place named Big Slice Low Price. So it came from that. LOL

Re: names

Well, my wife gets the credit for naming mine. She first called it "the bread truck" which was later reworked to the "Wonder truck" . She and a few of guys in the local car club have been threating to paint red, blue and yellow dots on the panel sides.

Re: names

Mine's named Magoo. My dad bought the truck from a guy who was the original owner since it was titled in November of '63. He proceeded to have is tagged "64Magoo" due to the fact that the truck is obviously a 64 but also he is legally blind ala Mr. Magoo. I am changing the tag when registration is due again this year but I'm positive that the truck will forever be Magoo.

Re: names

My c10's simply "the pickup" cuz its the only pickup we've got. Some of my friends call it the beast though. It used to do an excellent job of scaring everyone at school. All the newer cars and even trucks, would set their alarms off when I started it in the parking lot, was awesome.

Re: names

My 65 is putt-putt cause when I got her the exhaust leaked and kinda made that putt-putt sound, now a new motor but the name stuck, my 87 v10 is big red cause of the colour and lift kit, oh these names were given by my wife and she never says anything about the time and money I spend so she sure has earned the right to name them LOL
God bless
Mike

Re: names

Mine is Maria. The reason being is that I found some old paper work in the truck that had the name Maria Lopez on it. The truck cab is also from southern New Mexico.
