What do you call your trucks?

Earlier models are Dentsides, Bullnoses, then ... what? Don't the 8th gen 87-91 and 9th gen 92-97 trucks have nicknames?

My 92 350 cc 4x4 was nicknamed Stretch II. With the shackles up front by the bumper and the leaf eyes in the back, I also called it Hard Riding.

8th is brick nose and 9th is slant nose (and often nicknamed Old Body Style/OBS.OBS is kinda cheesy though, like what I call my trucks; chip truck and log truck lol.)

I do not care for the OBS nickname. The 92-96 is also called aero nose. Not really a fan of that either. Bull nose and brick nose sound much beter.

People seem to know what I mean if I say OBS but I don't think it's as catchy as the older names. Also never really cared. Sure never will call it aero nose haha.

Just like I will never refer to my trucks as a brick nose. I don’t like any of the nicknames.

I just call him Turby; I thought we were talking about names for our trucks specifically, not the generation

I call mine White and Blue, though White is white with the brown trim at the bottom, & Blue is really blue, red, gray & black, like the trucks the cops used to show how complete vehicles were built from chop shop parts

My wife and I looked at an Eddie Bauer F150 before I bought my 1996 F150. My 96 is the same color as the Eddie Bauer and is a short bed. My wife nicknamed it junior, as in Eddie Bauer junior.
The nickname stuck, we both call the truck junior.
