"Grounds for divorce" if I'm not careful!

ratrod67 · 10-11-2007, 06:30 AM

Michael Jackson because it don't look anything like it did when it was born.

70' GMC · 10-11-2007, 06:43 AM

gmc67swb · 10-11-2007, 07:16 AM

dznucks · 10-11-2007, 08:08 AM

OLDCHEV4X4 · 10-11-2007, 09:03 AM

My 71 suburban had rust holes and it was orange like cheeze..........So the kids called it the Cheeze Wagon.

When (IF, seems mor like it) I get mine done I'm gonna let you guys name it...so be thinkin' (68 stepside, canary yellow, black trim, bucket racing seats are the plans)

Brock how about Bumble-B/10? ok a little corny but thats all i could think of.

**70cst** · 10-11-2007, 09:26 AM

My truck has two names...Me and 70cstjr call "her' THE GREEN MACHINE because it's going to cost me (did you notice I said me 70cstjr) a lot of GREEN when she goes into the shop this winter for her "make over". My 70cst is also factory painted tuo tone green which is a little unusual. Now my wife calls it "UGLY". Go fiqure? maybe it's a wife thing?

caminokid · 10-11-2007, 09:41 AM

I call mine Fade To Black. Kinda what happened to her.

BB72CHEVKT · 10-11-2007, 09:46 AM

Nothing special here. Called the 72 old green before the 69 came along, but also call the 69 old green. I guess it will be confusing when I get the 72 on the road.

**Already Gone** · 10-11-2007, 01:30 PM

Would you believe " Pinky"

griesel72 · 10-11-2007, 01:34 PM

jake

67Mach1 · 10-11-2007, 02:01 PM

Purple Monster for the 67 purple GMC.

Yeller for the 70 yellow and Pretty much the rest of them are all related to the color of the truck... Whitey, Greenie, Goldie, Red,

gonline71 · 10-11-2007, 02:22 PM

My 1971 Longbed is nicknamed "FATMOJO".....

personalized plates to boot!

Unfortunately, its in a non-op status for now.

AH619 · 10-11-2007, 02:38 PM

Mine Are Coppertone
Logans Truck
Daltons Truck
And The Beater

northerngmc · 10-11-2007, 03:04 PM

First one is Whoopee!

Second one is Junior....

Even my part trucks are named......

Blue one is Tulita
Green one is Harry

chvtrkman · 10-11-2007, 03:15 PM

My truck is named "NUTHIN' FANCY" (see sig for explanation)......I've also been known to call it "the green machine" since it's green. But when I'm in an affectionate mood she's "Betsy"....don't know why, there are probably a million "Betsys" out there.Just sounds like an appropriate name for an old vehicle, and as others have said there's that feminine attachment.

glock35ipsc · 10-11-2007, 03:18 PM

My 70 K10 has been called "Goldie" ever since Dad bought it in 72.

My 68 was nicknamed the "Hot Rod truck" by my son after I finished her the first time.

My 02 GMC is nicknamed "Jim" by my daughter.

And, well, my old Subaru is "Scooby Doo". Again , the kids.

timcos · 10-11-2007, 04:17 PM

Mine is Maxter. After the guy named Max who owned it for 34.5 years. I never met the fellow...he died two years prior to em buying the truck. I bought it from his widow.

*ksjh1316* · 10-11-2007, 04:46 PM

Mine "Tank" look an the heavy ram bar on the fron has a thicker on on the rear. If I hit it I ain't goint to feel it

green724x4 · 10-11-2007, 05:45 PM

My 72 chevy 4x4 is called "precious"because my dad sees how I wax, and wash it all the time. That and its a 4x4 that has never seen mud.
The 99 silverado is named "guinea pig" because it was my dads prototype expirement for his supsensionMaXX leveling kit company. That and for a 4.8 it hauls a 2,000 lb load in the truck box or a 5,000 lb trailer and still running strong with 150k.

We call my 69 Chevy "Grasshopper." My mother in law named it. She said it reminded her of a grasshopper... It was light green with a white tool box.

My blue 68 GMC we call "Bluebelle."
