Everyone calls my truck BIG RED. Not sure who in the family coined it, but it has stuck for the last 15 or so years.

Iron-Butt · 01-09-2004, 09:27 PM

"The Hotrod truck"

pphatbasstard · 01-09-2004, 09:45 PM

I dont know if it is a name or not but I like to call it, "67 delight" and my uncle has a 63 he calles "Rustin Red"

c-tenkid · 01-10-2004, 01:21 AM

Boomer...short for boomerang
After I bought my truck last summer people started telling me that that truck use to run around here back in the 80s. I figured it must be one like it.
a couple weeks ago I found out its true, & actually met the original owner,& Marty, the guy who redid it in 1988. He was like a kid who found his lost puppy. He had to sell it in 91. gettin him in to much trouble..
The truck had left the area in 91... 13 years later & only 20,000 more miles, its back home. Boomerang
Hey I cant attach a pic!!!!

67 4x4 lwb fleetside. Either Old Maroon or The Beast. The truck is maroon, with white top (first n.n.) and it has no powersteering or power brakes (second n.n.)

Thought of making a thread about this, but was sure there was one out there already.

Anywho, my truck's name is Scarlet. Scarlet is a shade of red, which is the color that it'll be

. Also, I like my truck having a feminine name.

big_al_71 · 02-08-2013, 05:37 PM

"Sylvester"

As was said on an early post of this, I think the term "Lawn Ornament" might be more appropriate

As seen in my signature the 70 has aquired a new name

Pieces (I wonder why

)

The 83 is our Hoopty Jr or Jr for short

Of course Whitey is still Whitey

Codez67Chevy · 02-08-2013, 11:55 PM

Mine is called " Dead Pumpkin" cuz it used to be orange back in high school and it got the name "Pumpkin" so i did a little work to it and just ended up primering it gray with a couple of spots of orange still left and everyone just started calling it "Dead Pumpkin".

Now theres a name that makes sense!

**special-K** · 02-10-2013, 03:51 PM

There was a thread a bit more recent two,as I recall...like '06.

Never really gave names other than "The 72","The Red Truck","The Shortbed","The work truck","The 1t","The GMC",etc,unless I had more than one.
Right now I have my White '72 GMC K2500 That I either call "The '72","The White Truck",or "The K2500". My '67 GMC SWB project I call "Project Poorboy" in my signature and that's it. I usually call it "The project,"The '67",or "The shortbed". The '71 C/30 tow truck I call "The tow truck".

Lattimer · 02-10-2013, 04:02 PM

Mine gets called son of a b.... and motherf..... on regular basis. When I'm done working on it I will call it a nicer name.

Zable49 · 02-10-2013, 04:53 PM

You know, we still dont have a name for her. We have named every other vehicle we have owned, so we will find something soon that matches her personality.

**Steeveedee** · 02-14-2013, 11:32 PM

Big Orange. I'll get some pics taken tomorrow, I hope. I make a point of calling it "Big Orange", as it is Hugger Orange, which my wife and her family have called "red" for decades.

JOJABOY · 02-15-2013, 12:23 AM
