We bought a beer truck!

By • September 8, 2008 Share on Twitter

I’ve loved the Dodge A100 for some time. There’s something about its blocky van-meets-pickup truck that really appeals to me.

So I bought one on eBay. It’s in California right now, but like most air travel, getting to-and-from California is often easier than say, Minnetonka.

Here’s a picture of it:

It’ll need a paint job, (inevitably) some work, and — most importantly — a name. Here are the top ten names we’re considering for the beer truck:

  1. Mr. Emissions
  2. The Meconium Falcon
  3. Putzy
  4. Where’s the Gas Tank?
  5. Stay-at-Home Mom
  6. Andy Gibb
  7. Involuntary Durham Pace Van
  8. My paint job is worth more than my parts
  9. Pro Bono
  10. Underabundance of Affection

Got any better names? Post ‘em here!

    ok, tap handles in the bed side, and you call that area the Ladder Bar (get it? the yellow ladder bars for the back axle?).

    How bout Fully Steamed? logo all in gold foil, with a snorting bull underneath.

    KEEP THOSE (deadly) SKINNIES up front! and go slow in the rain

    I’m thinking those skinnies are going away. Though most pictures of the A100 show smaller wheels up front…which seems unusual for a 60s-era truck…

    This one courtesy of Katey, a friend of my wife’s and mine. As soon as she said it, I realized that “business in the front…party in the back” is very apropos.

    Sean,
    Sweet ride, needs 2×8 pt bumpers to be complete. You gotta call it the “Designated Driver”. You can have it wood burned into the bumper.
