Re: truck names

According to the wife.... "The Other Woman" or "The Mistress"

We haven't really named the truck yet, mainly because we're still trying to determine the direction the truck is headed.

Re: truck names

Mine has always been called the Beater. However when it comes back from paint I hope we can call it something else. Like Copper or Bronzey or penny. My wife said Transformer because it has.

Re: truck names

My subaru driving co-workers call it the blue bomber, big daddy, the blue monster, detroit steel......and on and on. My favorite is swing seat because the pass side of the bench seat doesn't lock and will slide forward and back depending on the braking/acceleration. When you wear the lap belt it will try to cut you in half under heavy braking. I never have to drive to lunch...I wonder why?

Re: truck names

I bought mine out of Oklahoma, so I started calling it Ruprecht.

I know a few movie buffs on here will know where that's from and why!

Re: truck names

My 14 year old daughter calls mine "The screaming metal death trap" LOL!
A 396, headers, and dual 40" glass packs can be quite load when the glass is gone...

My folks used to call it "La Bomba", no idea if it was from the song or not.
