Not a bad thing to start a good thread.
Sometimes it sparks a memory of a time passed and I like to bump an old thread just in case members who haven't been here or even thought of this place in years may get an e-mail notification that a thread they participated in has a reply.

My first Ford truck was dubbed "the truck from Hell" by my friends, it was a 1978 F150 360 Supercab my dad bought when I was one year old, unfortunately it got stolen a month after I got my license.
My 1992 F150 302 supercab was named Whitey, I managed to flip her 1.5 times while I took a turn too fast on a remote highway in Southern AZ after a few beers with a hot brunette in shotgun (I had to pull her out of the driver side window...Whitey took care of us and all we had were a few superficial scratches
)
My 66 F100 shortbox with a 289 was a rolling POS and knighted "The Purple Dream" by my then girlfriend, even though it was maroon.
My 68 F100 390 longbed was named by me, the Karma Truck. If I was good, so was she...
My 1994 F150 302 shortbed 4x4 never got a name, all I did was drive the hell out of it for three years.
My 1997 F150 4.6 4x4 longbed will probably be called "Blue," it's painted "midnight blue" per Ford and I hope she serves me half as well as all of my previous trucks...

Shouldnt it be a female name or is that only with boats/ships/airplanes?
Ive tried to think of one for mine, but nothing has come yet...
Maybe I will think a little harder.
Ive named my Computers:
The Dude
Donnie
Jesus
Any one want to guess the theme behind that naming scheme?

"The Bright Red One"
Sort of a tribute to America's 1st Infantry Division, "The Big Red One"
"On D-Day, June 6,1944, the Big Red One stormed ashore at Omaha Beach. Soon after H-Hour, the Division's 16th Regiment was fighting for its life on a strip of beach near Coleville-sur-Mer that had been marked the "Easy Red" on battle maps. Within two hours, the decimated unit huddled behind the seawall. The beach was so congested with the dead and dying, there was no room to land reinforcements. Col. George Taylor, commander of the 16th Infantry Regt., told his men, "Two kinds of people are staying on this beach! The dead and those who are going to die! Now, let's get the hell out of here!" Slowly, the move inland got underway.
A German blockhouse above the beach became a command post named "Danger Forward."
The Division moved through the Normandy Hedgerows. The Division liberated Liege, Belgium, and pushed to the German border, crossing through the fortified Siegfried line. The 1st Inf. Div. attacked the first major German city, Aachen, and after days of bitter fighting, the German commander surrendered the city on Oct. 21, 1944.
The Division continued its push into Germany, crossing the Rhine River. On Dec. 16, 24enemy divisions, 10 of which were armored, launched a massive counterattack in the Ardennes sector, resulting in what became known as the Battle of the Bulge. On Jan. 15, 1945, the First Infantry attacked and penetrated the Siegfried line for the second time and occupied the Remagen bridgehead. On Easter Sunday, April 1, 1945, the Division marched 150 miles to the east of Siegen. On April 8, the Division crossed the Weser river into Czechoslovakia. The war was over May 8, 1945.
At the end of World War II, the Division had suffered 21,023 casualties and 43,743 men had served in its ranks. Its soldiers had won a total of 20,752 medals and awards, including 16 Congressional Medals of Honor. Over 100,000 prisoners had been taken.
Following the war, the First Division remained in Germany as occupation troops, until 1955, when the Division moved to Fort Riley, Kan."
