I have a 40+ year association with my 38 & call her "Sweetie". What feelings does your truck evoke in you?

I am for letting someone in the family name it. Typically it just falls out of a conversation and seems to stick like june bugs on your windshield. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 243 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 243 | the wife loves "BUFORD" and inorder to keep the family peace, "BUFORD" IT IS... sounds kinda cool... thanks guys | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 | John Wayne had a dog he called "Dog".

Remember "Babe", the blue ox?

I got my truck from my grandfather who was the original owner. It's like a member of the family, and has had it's name for as long as I can remember (it's been around a while longer than I have). I don't know when my grandfather started calling it the "Old Buckin' Bronco", but I'm sure it grew out of the trucks suspension and handling characteristics  on the old dirt and gravel roads that it traversed when it was new and continued to travel during our camping trips when I was a child.
