Does your truck have a name? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My 70 cst10 was named "Ol' Betsy" by my kids, and my "66 c10 was named "Fred" by my husband after Fred G. Sanford. ( He's not a gear head like me, and I didn't have the heart to tell him that Freds red truck was a 51 Ford...) :-)

Mine is being referred to as the "Mistress" don't know if it will stick yet.

This is Elbert, my 66. My dad bought the truck from the original owner, Elbert, 11 years ago when I was in college, and that was the name from day one.

I ended up naming mine "Maggie" after my mom (Margaret). When I got the truck I was looking for some floor mats and found a brand new set of "The Simpsons" floor mats in the closet my wife bought for my son when he was 16. He never used them although he was a huge fan of The Simpsons.

So I used them since little "Maggie Simpson" is at the top of the mat and the orange in the mat was a good match to the color of the truck. It seem to be a good fit.

The strange things we do.

When it is running I call it my baby.
When it is not running I call it my money pit.

My truck name is ZVIETE! which is 2nd in German; this is because this is/was my high school truck which got sold when i got deployed to Japan in the Marines (my Dad and I are still in a debate as to how this happened...) almost 11 years later my brother found my old truck sitting in a field by his house with a blown motor; of couse I had to buy it back, hence the name... ZVIETE! for getting it back the 2nd time.

still looking for a name for the new find, the 63 Burb; usually drive it for a bit, then a name will surface.

Wagz, 2nd is spelled zwiete. Zwei is 2.

My truck is Babe, as in the Blue Ox. When running and driving she wont be fast, but will pull anything down the road!

My son named his Sleeping Beauty, because eventually he wants to build it into a sleeper (when he is on his own insurance).

White ghost or "THE GHOST" for short. Named by my son and his buddies the first time I owned it. They would put the 3 seats in and all pile in and go to a high school football game. Back in 98 or 99. Decided 14 years later that the name still fits!!
