I think Gertrude is a good name.

Perhaps Sunny if it was painted a bright color.

My truck is called Gretchen :)

My wife calls mine "That D&*@ Piece of $h17" :lol: She and it have a troubled past...keys locked in it on a cold November day, rusty brake line busted at a Home Depot parking lot, spun a bearing going down the highway to an auction. :dohh:

You can't really pick a truck name. It just happens. The truck will find its own name eventually. I've got a feeling that when mine does, it'll have several cuss words in it.

When I bought my blazer the valve seals were shot. Every time I started the truck it would smoke, so I named the truck "Smokey". The 86 pickup I use to own was just a plain tan, plus my favorite Sci-Fi show was still on tv, so I named the truck "Moya" after teh ship from Farscape...

Re: truck names
 
Is it a dark brown or a walnut color? If so why not call it BIG BROWN.?? Or BROWNIE? Or CHARLIE BROWN?

I agree with Matt any thing with a motor in or on it finds a way of giving itself a name...I do alot of vanity plates ( there kool and cheap and say so much) I have WRKNSTF on my F350 diesal..you figure it out?? I have been fighting to get my new to me 70 slammed long bed done on a tight budget....

I was thinking for a plate........LO BGT.......

My room mate's '74 Blazer is called "Tonka"

My truck doesn't really have a name. I call it "Truck" alot when I'm @ work. My mom suggested I call it "Banshee" and the g/f doesn't want me to name it.

You could call it "Rig"

How bout, Crouton? I don't know, just an idea.

My burb's the Tank. I've had enough collisions with everything to get it that name, not to mention everything went on it and it's still my DD.
I had a white town car a while back that for some reason we named the "infamous white lincoln". The best day ever was when the cops said they were looking for the infamous white lincoln and now they'd found it.

Re: truck names
 
My g/f calls my beat up brown 83 the "Poop Wagon" and my friend calls it "The Grunt" because it's like a big turd and you'd really have to strain to push it out!

I think it's going to officialy be dubbed "The Torque Turd," since it's running a Cummins that's soon to be more tweaked than a lottery wining meth head.

Re: truck names
 
When my truck was just blue and silver i called it my blue truck. Then i put it back together with a black cab and bed and i was calling it my black and blue truck, so a guy at work told me to put TKO across the windsheild since it's black and blue.
