What's your Trucks name?

[Redcap]

The Beast is what I call it.

My girlfriend calls it the Behemoth or Juggernaut.

[68f-250]

old reliable because it always runs

I call mine "The Highlander" because of my Celtic Heritage, and the fact that the thing is Green. LOL When the kid and I were out racing on my Holiday, We had huge speekers in the bed tied down blairing 'Scotland The Brave' as we'd accelerate. (that's bagpipe music) I'll tell you what, As a 20 year old I find that extremely fun, moreover my 2 year old son is belted in next to me gigiling up a storm saying, "Faster Daddy!" Especially when beating rap playin hondas, and country playing v8 rigs.

Most of my trucks I have had in the past I called them whatever the previous owners name was or the town I picked them up in. Like "NELSON" that was a z71 CHEVY,"MAXWELL" that was a big dually I had etc.... For some reason I have not really named this truck but have refered to it as "The Sweet Machine" or "The crew". My kids call it the "Schwan Man Truck" I guess its the color? I have a guy at work that calls it "Big Green Ugly" I have for some reason overlooked actually naming this, I will have to get to thinking about this.

Hi
Does anyone know when they went from calling the truck the F1 to the f100?

1953.

my '72 F250 is called "Big Turq" 'cause it's... duh... turquoise
my '63 is called Jinx, because it took from October to January to overcome the Jinx of buying it, and getting it home despite many many hurdles.

Took that long before she'd let you back in the house, did it?

[ivansgreat]

I just call my 1968 red f100 "The Truck". My dad used to have a white 1969 Chevrolet Cheyenne that he called "la Paloma" in spanish which translates to "The Dove" in english.

A brief history of The California Cowboy (CACWBY). After I bought it in San Berdoo in 89 my girls called it called "White Truck", in part becuase we had a cat named White Cat, and they were both white. I guess I kind of became the California Cowboy after moving to Wisconsin in 1990, I was born in SW Mo to a couple hillbilly's who moved to No. Calif. in the 50's because, well, the streets were paved with gold and it was the end of the hillbilly/okie rainbow. And I became part Califonia kid who had country roots - and I grew to accept that, and have been to Dick Dale concerts and Merle Haggard, and on & on, so my Trucks Nickname is also an extension of me and my persona. And when it was time to re-do it I still had to keep at least part of it White as a token of it's past and so my girls (now women) wouldn't forget.

So my Trucks Nickname is also an extension of me and my persona. I am not a real Cowboy- and not a real Californian either (whatever either of those really are), to me a California Cowboy is someone who feels comfortable in a bunch of roles (who has surfed Trestles before it was legal, and seen the sunrise from a sleeping bag in the desert more than once), and can wink at it all. So anyway when it was time to re-do it I still had to keep at least part of it White, as a token of it's past and so my girls (now women) wouldn't forget.

Ol' Blue - Christened that by my Grandad.

[Heavenlyfire]

After getting this thing home, and my kids seeing it, all I heard was " look at that beast". So it stuck, The Beast.

[1968flareside]

I call my 68 "Effie" or "The Bumpside" since it's a flare side.
My wife calls it the old truck, because I have a 99 F150 as well.
My four year old calls it the "blue truck" or the "loud truck"

If you have kids, here's a little funny story on the "loud truck" name.

I put the new 302 in the truck a couple years back when my daughter was only two. I was so eager to start it after I got the headers, I ran it open headers for fun. She was walking into the garage as I fired it up and she immediately put her hands over her ears. To this date, when she sees the truck in the garage, she covers her ears even though it hasn't been running in some time. My wife and I get a kick out of it!!

[460 crew]

I had done the same thing with a 4stroke dirtbike with a obnoxious pipe on it and he still coovers then ears when he sees bikes even my streetbike now. First time there was a look of terror though
