You know, I might just have to look up some of those old WW2 german tank names, I know some of them just sound cool...

I'm fascinated by that kind of stuff, military stuff, old technology, mechanical stuff, tanks, etc.

Let's see, Panzer (armor), tiger, jager.... I could go on and on...

 

Named my 79F250 4x4 "Lynn" (my wife's middle name). When she asked WHY I named it after her, my response was, "I love my truck, but sometimes it's a pain in my a$$".

She didn't see the humor, but all of my friends thought it was funny.

 

So... big and loud and german military names all together? My mind tells me to name it "Big Bertha", like the german cannon... try the wiki, see if it suits your truck It's just an idea...

 

How about "Panther" or "Black Panther"

 

So what does everyone think of "Black Panther", I seem to be liking it more and more.

 

Gotta put my vote in here. "Black Betty" Damn thing gone wild.

 

Black panthers are sleek, stealthy, and agile............do you really think a 4x4 Ford truck fits into this category?

Sounds to me like you're starting to force the issue...give it time. The name will eventually come to you.

New idea to throw in the pot...."Vlad the Mudbuster"

 

I know how hard it is to name a truck!! I'm going through that with my 77. I painted it John Deere green and now i call it "snot rocket" but my family hates that name so i'm looking for a replacement. Your truck looks like "Black Beauty, "Satan's Servant" or B.M.W. (Big Mud Wagon) anyway good luck searching!

 

According to wikipedia, a black panther can take down an animal over 1300lbs.

And they just look menacing I think. Not trying to force the issue, just wondering what everyone else thinks.

 

Black Panther ?


Nope !

 

you said the truck was raven black call it the raven

 

I still say that the vehicle generally names itself. The name will come to the owner when the characteristics of the vehicle become obvious. Since my original post on this thread, I've added two more vehicles to the fleet, and their names became obvious within a day of my having bought them.

The first, is my 1991 F250.....named Lumpy. The reasoning behind this is that it came with a 460, which anyone here would know that when it's cold, as 460's are cold blooded, has an idle that is fairly lumpy. Also, it has ridiculously stiff suspension, which makes the ride fairly.....lumpy. And finally, the color is that cream colored off white, which is kinda like oatmeal..........which is bland, and well.....lumpy.

The other vehicle is a 1986 Honda CRX.......named Dexter. It's red, tiny, zippy, and screams "Dexter" anyway, but when I looked at the owners manual, and it said it's technically a 1986 Honda CRX "DX", that cinched it.

So, as I said before, I still believe that your truck will tell you its name in due time. I know you want the name of your truck to instill fear into the hearts and minds of the general populace, as it's big, black, and imposing......but to offer perspective, my truck is big, black, and imposing, and his name is Buford. Not the scariest name, but it fits.

 

at least its black my 78 f100 is tangerine swb fleetside.i thought about tangerine dream but i listened to some of there music and quickly changed my mind.its got rust holes in it and its always gonna be slow the creeper would fit because ill be creeping along with lots of people behind me cussing that im going too slow lol.at the moment its yard art til i get legal so just to be able to call it rolling will be great

 

2x...... the rig will name itself..... I've got the "F-Bomb" and "BFT" - Blunt Force Trauma.

Big, black, and imposing? ...Ha! Darth Vader, Shaq, or Tyrone! LOL.

 

ZOMBIE THREAD ALERT!!!!!

BTW, I know that black in Italian is Nero, how is that?
