Do you have a nickname for your truck?

Big Al, I remember watching "Sylvester" from the old cartoon days and the name fits your truck perfectly!

I've always had names, or phrases, for my trucks. I had a white 1-Ton Dually that was my DD. So, the little white shortbed I was working on became "The Little White Truck". A few years ago, when I bought a SWB, LS-powered truck, the ad for the truck referred to the "custom mixed copper and white paint", so that truck became "Copper"!

But, my favorite named truck was back in the 1982 or 1983 when I bought a 1978 Chevy "Heavy Half". The truck was pure white and the PO had put white wagon wheels on the truck. With all the white, he names the truck "Honkey"!! LOL!! The name stuck and it remained Honkey while I had it. I sold the truck when I bought a new 1984 GMC shortbed, that was all white. Of course, that truck became "Mini-Honkey". Being on active duty in the Air Force at the time, I really needed to get away from that name and one of my friends started calling the shortbed "Lightweight". The name was in reference to going from the "Heavy Half" to the lighter shortbed truck.
