My '82 Chevy Silverado short bed was given the name "Cheby" by my brother and some friends of ours.

The story is, we drove up from the north Houston,TX area to Grand Prarie,TX to buy the truck. When we arrived and saw the truck the owners were Mexican.....I don't mean Hispanic...I mean really Mexican immigrants.  About the only thing NOT done to the truck at that time to turn it into a Mexican style low rider was the little "dingle berries" that are usually hanging from the front windshield.....and the exception of a bunch of fiberglass body accessories.

Before we drove the truck back to the Houston area (a 3+ hour drive) we had to go to an Autozone to change out the water pump. While I was in the store purchasing the water pump and some parts, my brother and friends snuck over to the decal section and bought a set of chrome plated plastic adhesive backed letters.  

When I came outside to begin swapping the water pump out, I went to raise the hood and noticed something on the front endge of the hood-----the words "Cheby"   I couldn't help but bust out laughing.....in fact we all had one heck of a laugh..... because we knew the truck needed to undergo a major transformation to make it something worthy of me driving it.

Thank God the truck ha come a loooong way since I bought it back in October.

I call my 81 K10 "BIG UGLY"

She's big and ugly...short story I know...lol

[Lt.Del]

There are a lot of references to songs being the origins of nicknames.  There are a lot of Big Red's and such as well.  I couldn't help but to think someone's kid has to have named daddy's red car the "Big Red Car", you guys with toddlers know what I am talking about....The Wiggles...C'mon let your child pick out a name....
 
Wiggles Big Red Car 


There are some vehicles that should be called The Beverly Hillbillies car

or called SpeedRacer

Of course, if you have another type of truck (other than a GM product of course) you'd probably call it  this because they go about the same speed--downhill.

[84chevysilverado]

I call my 84 swb "elvira" story goes everyone in are family has some kinda name for there vechical. heck even one of are snowmobiles has the name betty. anway i bought the truck and dad kept asking me what i was gonna name it i could never think of a name. so one day after supper i went up to the shop and was listing to country (my favorite) and the song Elvira came on by the Oakridge boys. So thats what I named her its an old name for an old truck now everytime i pull into parties I get it playing over the subs and all you can hear is "My hearts on fire for elvira"!!!

[eventhorizon66]

I can't hear the name "Elvira" without picturing an over-the-top performance by a ghoulish hottie wearing pasties with tassels.  LOL.  I've gotta get that movie.

[75??? franken-trunk]

Franken-truck,    Its a project thats mostly other trucks and junk yard parts.... it said 75 on the title but it has an 80's box frame and dash pad. i think its a 84!

[Lt.Del]

gitty up, ah oompapa, ah oompapa mow mow
hi oh silver, away

sorry, got the tune in my head.

[zieg85]

My white 85 doesn't have a name, I just know my wife doesn't like it at all.  She has got a keen sense of smell and can tell when I drive it.  It is running rich cause the carb needs work and everytime I run it, she complains that I smell like fuel...  I think the main reason is that it is one of few things of mine that is all mine.  She can't drive stick and refuses for anyone to teach her.  My 86 is just called Ole Red.  Sold my 95 last weekend so in the garage the 86 goes in for its long awaited transformation...  To bad for her it is a stick as well, I am all broke up about it...

[choptop]

Zeig, call it the Fuminator

[ccz145a]

I had an old green 68 Dodge Monaco 383/A727 2dr fastback when I met my wife in 1987, she called it the Dinosaur... I got my 75 Silverado about a year later... she dubbed it the Eye-Sore.

She has to come up with a new name now that it's purty.

[oldwhity]

She has got a keen sense of smell and can tell when I drive it.  It is running rich cause the carb needs work and everytime I run it, she complains that I smell like fuel.

That funny, mine does the same thing. Even though she knows what the smell is she will still ask "What is that smell!!". I just tell her it's called "Old Whity" do you like it? lol

[Stantonss]

uh...oldwhity because well, it's old(oldest vehicle we own) and it's white.

Mine is Whitey... Old Whitey... Or Whitey Chev.

Mostly Whitey but my 7 year ol dcalls it Old Whitey.... For the same reasons.
