Kinda obvious, but right now she's called "Big Blue". Of course, once she gets introduced to the missus them I'm sure she'll be known as "MY truck".
Then again, in memory of my old 1981 Land Rover Series 3 diesel, I might rename her "Bubba's Revenge II"

Hi Guys,  gotta update my list. I just got a White 87 C10 305 F.I. 8 ft bed pickup. It's from Winston Salem N.C., it's a rust free county truck.

I'm calling it Jethro after my hero Jethro Bodine from the Beverly Hillbillys. My brother has a red 82 C10 and he calls it Jed.We're kinda the hillbillys of the neighborhood so we had to name them after our kin foke.

My 1976 K20 is called the Goat Catcher. Im not sure how that particular title came to be but it has something to do with it being a ranch truck and its from wyoming. its catchy so it stuck i even drew up a logo for it and as soon as i paint the truck im going to have it air brushed on the tailgate and hood. My 83 K5 blazer is named rebel just because its red and white and thats what everybody decided to call it. We are all a bunch of rednecks so all of our vehicles have names. ;)
Some times it brings joy and sometimes it brings anger but in the end my chevy is better than ford and dodge

Mine is Emmy, I can't remember why anymore, I think the 2 letters stood for something and the other 2 were for somethings else. Anyway, the name stuck.
My 88 is Eleanor for gone in 60 seconds- you know why. It used to be Christine, but I realized it hated me and was never a problem for people that borrowed her.

All normal practicality and rational money handling goes out of the window when it comes to my truck.

My 1980 C10 is just simply "PawPaw".  Cause it looks like a truck that everyones grandfather would have driven with the ralleys and whitewalls and all. To me though, I think it's about time for PawPaw to get a "heart" transplant!

Mine is Bad Karma, as in, the bringer of bad karma.

If you can't park straight, I'll pull real close to so you can't get in (until I get a new paint job).
If you can't merge at highway speed, I won't let you in.
If you sit in my blind spot, I'll tap my breaks and scare you.
If at all possible, i'll take that parking spot you were waiting on.
when I get my air horns installed, I'll pull up close and blow them if you are going too far under the speed limit, or won't turn when there is plenty of room or other general situations :)

My wife drives an ambulance and one day while crossing railroad tracks, someone thought it would be funny to blow their air horns when passing in the other lane. I thought it was funny, she really didnt.

thats  my brothers truck story..
 mine is simply the "K30"
the one i had last;

This one was called "The Real Deal"     believe it or not that name came from a random guy in another car while i was stopped at a red light, he pulled up next to me an vigorously rolled down his window and shouted with excitement:  "Hey Man!...  That truck is the Real Deal!"    I smiled and nodded as I pulled away..  from then on after i told everyone the story the name just stuck.
