So what did you name your Truck & Why... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

64c20crewcab · 06-28-2008, 01:18 PM

Back in the day my family has named our rides.
Example our 1963 Buick Skylark - Beula & our 1970 Monte Carlo - Monty
My 63 Caddy - Series 62 - Suzie Q
My Crew Cab - not sure yet - it black / white - crewella, USS RUST-EZE - nah!

While i'm still tryin to decide, what did you name your truck & why?

**Chevy Fleetside** · 06-28-2008, 01:39 PM

I call my Chevy "The 65" or my Mustang the "Mustang" if I am talking about the Mustang that is...

Rogue 64 · 06-28-2008, 01:44 PM

My truck has been "Ol' Blue" for 30 years.

Real original, huh.

Soon it will be "The New Ol' Blue"!

**ChiefRocka** · 06-28-2008, 01:47 PM

Well, lets see...

I named it the "Rock-a-Billy" I guess because of the ratty look and the ww walls...

But it is also known as the "Chief" short for "ChiefRock-a-Billy", I'm assuming.

My kids refer to it as the "Rock-a-billy" or in my little girls case, she prenounces it is the "Roc-a-biwwy"

The wife refers to it as embarrassing, or AKA "piece of crap"

64c20crewcab · 06-28-2008, 01:53 PM

John, in another post you refer to your truck as "she". So I assumed you named it a chix name. that what got me started with this thread. i'm still thinkin bout mine....

inthe mean time i'm headed out to gargae to do some tinkerin! Will see what kind of trouble i can get into today.

but

first!

**ChiefRocka** · 06-28-2008, 01:58 PM

Well not not exactly a chix name, but I always refer to a car as a "she"

I mean, if your around your buddies and your talking about a nice rear-axle in say a Nova, Camaro or something.....

It wouldn't sound cool if you say "Man, HE'S got a nice rear-end back there!!"

You feel me ??

Later !!

**scotts62** · 06-28-2008, 02:04 PM

thats funny!

Mine is just "The 62"

like, What are you doing? oh ya know working on "The 62". Or (my favorite) hey honey im buying more parts for "The 62"

My dads name of his truck is Herby i named it that when i was younger and had watched herby the love bug. mine is weired but Uni66 , you get it since its a unibody....

TimE · 06-28-2008, 04:39 PM

Mine is usually referred to as "POS"(normally with a few other unkind adjectives preceding it) especially when something isn't working right).

Seriously, though, my blue '66 is usually referred to as the "Oklahoma Truck" by my little boy because that is where I bought it. The '64 is normally called "the 64". The most recent '64 has been referred to as "the drag truck" a couple of times b/c when I pulled it home the rearend locked up and I had to literally drag it on into the yard.

The burban is the burban depending on if I am fixing rust or driving. So far its only name has been !@#$$#$%#@$%^&*()*&^^%&(muthaf&**&%%^*&(&*^%&fringinpeiceof(&^&%&^$^^$^^%%&!###@#!#$#!. But the more rust that comes out, the more respect we gain for each other.

64c20crewcab · 06-28-2008, 08:20 PM

Too funny guys!

I'm still ponderin the name here.
its been called "Sum B^$(*h" at times. usually for no reason at all....

Been there done that! But we have since come to an understanding

bad6772 · 06-28-2008, 10:55 PM

my 67..........black truck......
my 72...........Sweet Pea.......

Sillyoldman · 06-29-2008, 12:28 AM

My '63 is "Ugly Betsy". My mom had the same truck when I was littlr. She called it "Betsy". 40 years later I have one too. Between that and the show "Ugly Betty" a named was born. Born from inner beauty and memories.

64c20crewcab · 06-29-2008, 12:37 AM

now that's kewl! then again so were all the others :-)

**slepysal** · 06-29-2008, 01:10 AM

I call mine El Cheepo, I got it for cheep, most of the parts have been picked up for cheep, and it has a cheep Earl Schieb paint job.
All in all a low budget build. Even though I call it "El" I stii think of it as a HER. My wife calls her La Sancha spanish for the "other women"

Mykul · 06-29-2008, 02:58 AM

I call mine Betty, after Betty Page. I looks nothing like her though.

1restorick · 06-29-2008, 06:42 AM

I call my 63 "Red Rumble" , because it's bright red and sounds mean.

62 short step · 06-29-2008, 11:05 AM

I don't know if I really have a name for mine, but me and my 5 year old refers to it as " The Old Truck". So I guess thats its name!

ol Curt · 06-29-2008, 12:29 PM

I call mine ol' Curt. It was purchased new by my grandpa Curt, and has been passed down.

joe231 · 06-29-2008, 12:41 PM

our '66 is called Pa-paw's truck. it was my father-in-law's truck. he built it from 3 or 4 different trucks. He passed October 2006 and we inherited it. it has lots of sentimental value, and it won't matter if times get tough, we will never sell it, plan on passing it to our boys.
