Since it has the nice chrome bits and has that classy look... maybe some lady like name...

Me, I started going through names in my head until I stumbled on one.

Beautiful Truck! I would go with "Red Rider" since I am a fan of the old western comic series..How about some specifics on the truck such as engine, transmission, etc..

Hrm...

The amount of Bling that is present on your ride would mean that it's a she.

How about Aideen? It's derived from the old Irish "aed" which means "fire". The "een" on the end is a diminutive (i.e. Maureen = Little Maura), so this would translate into "Little Firey One", which goes with the paint job.

And with the V8s, she's probably got plenty of pep, just like those Irish girls...

Very nice ride! The picture showed up on my posting as almost orange, but it's probably red. If orange, how bout "Orangena" - if red, I like "Red Rider" (Edabbs posting), or "Old Red," or just "Red." I call my 51 1/2 tone "my (blank) truck" and reserve the right to attach whatever expletive fits the mood of the day. Sometimes its my "Great Truck." Other times it's my...."not so great truck," if you get my drift.

Whatever you name it, that's one sweet ride! I'ld love to see another posting once you get the new power plant in. Good luck with it.

Your truck looks like a Christine...I hope it doesn't have a temper eek

I like Aideen (from brendanm720) for all the firey meaning behind it.

It looks more like a boy though. Maybe just Red.

It sure looks nice grin

Here's a few "Old Flame"
"Red Bolt"
"Bloody Red"
"Big Red"
"Old Red"
"Reddy Freddy" or "Ready Freddy"

Depending on how picky you are with your spelling

Or, how about "Chief" as in Fire Chief.

What did they call the old red wagons?
"Red Flyer" or "High Flyer" something like that.

I think my vote would have to be "Chief"

Good Luck

Hey there's another how about "Lucky"

OK, I'm done with this one.

just upload your photo to a image site like imagetrail or photobucket then copy the url address to that picture and when you post a message click on the button that says image then paste the address there

actually the preferred way here is to use the URL button and put a link to the pic rather than posting the pic directly in the thread, which cost's the owners more money and slows things down for those w/ dial up grin

if you really think you need to put the pic in the thread, try to make it as small as possible, especially NOT as big as the one on this thread which causes side scrolling for most folks eek
