What do the cool kids call them?

Ok, CCKWs are called CCKWs for 352 and 353 (don't even think about saying Jimmy).
Jeeps go by MB, GPW, or jeep (Ford GPW or Willys MB is redundant, IMHO)

What do you call the Chevy? Just Chevy? G506? There are eleventy billion variants, are they also 'Chevy'?

It seems that there is no acronym/shorthand for the Chevy 1.5 ton trucks... or is there?

A couple of vets I talked to referred to a "ton and a half" as being the smaller version of the "duece and a half". Not quite as sexy as "CCKW", but an apt description.
