I mean on a good day. I haven`t named most of mine except for Harold, a 71 F350.
Harold was the prevous owner`s name who I never did meet as he was apparently murdered before I bought the 71.
So I`m driving a deadman`s truck.

 

Casper, Kormick, Old Yeller, Old Joe, Nester, Jenny.
Our family grain trucks are Boss Blue, Big Red and Mike

Thinkin of naming my 1957 Tom Hanks, because of the movie money pit.

 

my 65 was the "brokeback beater"

we just call the 79 "beater", even though its not really a beater any more.

its not too bad boss, ever listen to "The Ride" by David Allen Coe?

edit: or Phantom 309? maybe we should get someone to write a new sonf with a Ford in it

 

There is afew songs with Fords in them like Alberta`s Ian Tyson`s Steel Dustline and Allan Jackson`s Drive.
Allan Jackson`s Mercury Blues, there is a song about a Hot Rod Lincoln and Tracy Bird`s Lifestyles Of The Not So Rich And Famous that has a Fairlane up on blocks.
There have been alot of songs with Mustangs and the odd one about a Cobra.
I have never heard "The Ride" by David Allen Coe though I have listened to alot of his songs.

 

but i've never heard one about a ghost in a Ford, thats missing, the missing link

 

My wife and kids call my PSD the Bio-beast. I just call it the Ford. It's simple and easy. Then there's 'the Dodge' and 'the Nissan'. But, I'm original that way. I can both of our cats, 'Cat' and our dog, 'Dog'. Aren't I just amazing?

 

My 51 is named "Faith". The Money Pit is a good movie.

 

My 78 I call Big Blue, My 85 is Demondog, My 64 Econoline I called it when I first got it Rex the Garbage Truck. Now Just Rex.
The others I have never named.

 

Black Beast on good days. PITA on bad days!

my step dad used to call his 74 390ed truck "betsy" I am sure thats a pretty common one LOL...i think jughead in the archie comics called their jalopy betsy...maybe im thinking of betty

I am like 7.3 fullcrew... our mazda protege was called "the protege" our bronco is called "the bronco" and our van we call "the van" HAHAHA

but we do name our pets...roxy is our dog

clause, oly, brooklyn, and stubs are our cats

ratticus is our gerbil

stubs was born with only a stub for a tail

If I ever name a truck anything...my first choices that come to mind right now are...

beater, fart banger, and sniffles that about sums up my taste in vehicles HAHAHA

Beater=overall condition
Fart banger= leaky exhaust
sniffles= engine

 

The PSD is just the Diesel or the Red Truck which is Amy's pet name for it.

 

the wife calls mine "THE truck"

 

Hi guys,

This is Skidooman's wife talking. He was telling me about this post and was too chicken to reply that his 79 truck is named "Betsy". I actually got to pick the name. He tried to change it with "Clifford the Big Red Truck" and "Big Red" but for some reason Betsy just stuck.

Anyways, FORD rules! I won't drive anything but!

 

Sorry guys some how she got on here with out me knowing!!

 

So nice to meet you, I`m glad that you feel that way about Ford.
