krazy_texan · 02-04-2008, 10:39 AM

allright i know i have seen this in here before but what the hey i want to see what you guys have as names for your trucks and why

my brother a while back dubbed mine "Johnny Cash" after the song about building a cadillac cause my truck has stuff from so many different year models

lets see what you got

Psycho71 · 02-04-2008, 11:26 AM

I have several names for my truck. But if I posted them here, I'd probably get kicked off of the board.

I figure I'll give it a kid friendly name when I get it done.

My wife and I are calling our '67 short-step "Tangerine Dream"...

I think the name is speaks for itself.

The band was founded in '67 and the truck is orange. Gotta thank my wife for comming up with that one.

My 69 step is named FLASH. It's even painted on the doors. I work for the Boy Scouts and when I go to an event in my other truck the boys ask "Where's the Flash?" lol

Arad68 · 02-05-2008, 04:21 AM
