Re: What's your trucks name ?

See my signature.

It's been my experience that if you are having trouble coming up with a name, it will usually present itself to you. When I bought my K20, I thought of a bunch of names but none of them seemed to fit her. Then I thought of 'Pumpkin Wagon' in honor of an old friend who called every orange truck a Pumpkin wagon. That was the correct name!

Re: What's your trucks name ?

To my kid's it's "Daddy's Old truck".
To me it's "My Truck".
To the neighbors it's "Piece of cr@?"

Re: What's your trucks name ?

The kids called it "Lil' Blue Truck" after the truck in the children's books. It kind of stuck. The wife's truck is named Big Red, also by the kids.

We also have a 1952 Ford 8N named Matildee and a 1954 Ford 660 Jubilee named Ben.

We're weird that way, I guess.

Re: What's your trucks name ?

The Green Barge

A friend has a nice Harley named The Green Monster, and he was giving me crap.
The Pink Car is a famous local landmark.
My '48 Chevy 5 window was The Angry Bumblebee because it was mostly black, yellow, a little red, lots of rust. 1st MINI was Swifty, 2nd MINI is Trigger. Just a name.
