Re: Truck names?
i decided to name her "balls". for all the kids that have the set of testicles hanging from the bumper. i am going to get a set of those and hang them on the front bumper. i refer to all my slicks in the feminine cause they are my babies. my latest definitely has balls. i don;t have enough balls to hold it wide open for very long however. it sure is a blast to drive and is loud enough to hear her coming.

Re: Truck names?
Mine has been Little green since 1966 when the father in law bought a 66 f100 4x4 in Caribean turqoiuse. He had the 64 2wd sb already. So they were named big green and little green.
Re: Truck names?
I call mine "Maybe"
Every time my wife asks if it is fixed I say "maybe"

SIN BIN...becuase it rhymes and I thought it sounded cool. Also the name will fit on a vanity plate for when I actually have it registered.

Long wheel base or lwb
turk for turquois
army truck or afro american truck because of its distinct coloring and one red rim
223 uni, or the one up in Paradise also for obvious reasons

Re: Truck names?
F100 called "white truck", someone called it White Lightning years ago and it stuck. F250 just "truck", coworker called it "old lightning" and it has stuck. Funny because I never mentioned the other truck. Wonder what the connection is?

Re: Truck names?
My daughter named my truck "the loud one truck" a few years back. Most of you that have seen it in person can attest to how it got that name.

Re: Truck names?
I call my truck "Big Red". I can't remember exactly why, other than when I repainted it in 1979 I changed the color to red and it was big compared to the other vehicles I had at the time. It's going to get repainted Red again soon.

Re: Truck names?
Growing up in rural Oregon during the 'eighties and 'early nineties, disreputable white-trash types often favored beat-down '60s and '70s pickup trucks. On any summer Saturday, every swimming hole in the Coast Range would be crowded with crusty old Fords, Chevys, Dodges and Internationals, and toothless burned-out druggies of roughly the same age.
Being as my Slick is a long way from being pretty and the bed often features a collection of empty beer-bottles, my brother reminds me of it's similarity to the crankster mobiles we used to make fun of as kids. And so the truck is known as The Meth 100, the Mullet-Mobile, or simply Dusty, who was an incorrigible buttrocker who terrorized the Washington County logging-roads back in the day.
I pointed out that the empties in my bed are bottled microbrews, not cans of Bud Light, and that I have all my teeth and no history of amphetamine use, but he just laughs and asks me if I have any extra Mötley Crüe tickets or a GPC cigarette... So, I've settled on Dusty.
And all things considered, he did run hard for a long time.
