68 K20 is Frank the Tank or the Dakota Cadillac



70 GMC is Rusty the Rebel due to floor board / cab corner "issues" when I first bought it

Re: What's your truck name and why. Pics?

I always liked the looks of these trucks, classic but tough. So I named mine Old School Metal. Also my favorite genre of tunage...

Re: What's your truck name and why. Pics?

Tom. Back story: I've owned the truck since 02, and moved it once but worked on it in three spurts, which has required moving and packing stuff every time. The badge below, somehow makes it out every time even though most of that type stuff is still locked up in storage.

From my blog:

"...For 8 years that badge has been following me around, trying to convince me it was destined to be. Finally I caved as it just seems fitting."

Update: The CST was sold to a fellow in California.

The K20 Diesel is named 'The Pumpkin Wagon' in honor of my old hunting buddy Jim who called every orange truck he saw on the road a Pumpkin Wagon.

Moose. It's kinda colored like a moose, and it is kinda a family tradition to name old trucks after animals. Grandpa had a 1959 Chevy Napco Suburban with PTO winch (example in picture) that he called the Blue Goose. Still miss that thing.

Re: What's your truck name and why. Pics?

My wife named mine "The Needy Beast" shortly after I bought it 16 years ago, due to all the parts "needs" it had (and continues to have to this day!)

Re: What's your truck name and why. Pics?

I call mine JugRunner because it looks so ordinary on the outside but has a nice motor under the hood. It just looks like it would make a good moonshine hauler. Of course I would never use it for that, wink, wink.
