Does your truck have a name? - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Grizz1963 · 03-31-2013, 04:22 PM

We do not yet have a truck, but my wife who is into naming everything has already decided on a name......

Has to be Redneck (she says I am one) and based around one of our favourite actor/writer/director (and many other things)

Based also on one of my alltime favourite movies - Slingblade in which this guy played the lead. Love him or hate him......

In Slingblade as Karl Childers

In real life as B-B T

The truck we do not have yet, will be called ......Billy-Bob......

I have always referred to my vehicles by their color.

I call minne the Big red machine, my kids just call it big red. I am 6ft and the top of the bed is at my nose, so it works.

Previous owner named mine Bella and sold it to me on the condition that I kept the name, so it stuck.

Hey Don most of these trucks suffer from the bad ground malady, check and see if what ever your working on is grounded good. Also I have a wiring chart that's color coded if you would like to use it...Vernski

still looking for a name for the new find, the 63 Burb; usually drive it for a bit, then a name will surface.

Wagz, 2nd is spelled zwiete. Zwei is 2.

Call it Julius, as in orange julius....

gofastnut · 04-04-2013, 03:04 PM

Love all the names on here, Guys! We've always called mine "Ole Brownie" for pretty obvious reasons. My Lovely Wife sometimes calls her "the other woman" too. Not sure what I'm gonna call her since I'm painting it.....
Maybe Bertha....Have you SEEN the size of them rear fenders?!?

rob_stang2000 · 04-04-2013, 04:12 PM

When my sister was a little kid she named my truck. My dad was the previous owner and one day she went to tell our mom that her and my dad were taking Bit*h up to the lumber yard, and would be back soon. My mom asked her why she called the truck that, and she told her every time dad tries to start it he says come on B*tch! The name has kind of stuck.

truckdrivinsob · 04-04-2013, 05:01 PM

My wife has lovingly named mine "farm truck"

This is B.O.B. (Big Orange Bast##d) and he earned every bit of that name!

ChuckW · 04-05-2013, 01:06 PM

Bobbie. After my Mom. (She liked green).
