I call my '76 F250 4x4 "Rusty but trusty." My old '77 F150 2wd was called "The truck from Hell." The name fit because it started on fire last December. The horn in the truck never worked in the 5 years I drove it. After it was towed home and it sat in the driveway the horn went off for no reason. I guess it was its last dying breath.

I'm seriously considering "one headlight" after the song by the wallflowers. "this place is old, feels just like a beat-up truck, I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn...but we can make it home, with one headlight."
Engine was locked-up when I found her and it is still real hard to turn. Hopefully it will loosen up with a little running.

What's in a name?
Like most of ya'll, my wife has some pretty colorful names to describe our ford. Heck, she has colorful names for my 79 toyota wagon too. For that matter, she usually has some pretty colorful names for me, too.
But of all the things we call my beloved 79 F350 custom CrewCab, my 3 year old son named it best.
His first words were "J-jah" and that has stuck to this day. He calls cars "autos" and he'll differenciate between "autos" and "petas" (beetles). He even calls all sorts of jeep style vehicles "Jee-barbas" en honor of a bearded friend of ours and his old 60-something nissan patrol.
But J-jah,... I never could figure it out at first. Till one day while riding shotgun with me, he started to mimic me driving and you could here him murmurring (as he changed gears) J...... jah.......j......jah.

We call the 94 F super duty wrecker Baby Girl. She's the money maker.
98 International 4700 wrecker is Rosie. She's the fat lady, you know when she sings it over. I have never named my personal trucks.
