60-66 Truck Calendar Nominations

[jeffg1010]

I just published a calendar featuring Classic Chevy Trucks (all years), and Chevy_Man5 requested I do one for the 60-66 guys (and gals). Link to calendar http://www.lulu.com/product/calendar...rucks/18945824

If you want your truck (or someone else's-must be an active forum member who I can get in touch with) submitted for the calendar, post the BEST pictures (2-3) you have of it. After receiving all of the photos, I will post a poll for forum members to vote on the calendar trucks. The maximum amount of contestants we can have for a poll is 30, so that will be the cut off point. You can nominate more than one. And this is open to all Chevy trucks in the 60-66 range- longbed, shortbed, stepside, Suburban, Panel. AND... anywhere (not just in the USA)

If you want one, you will be able to purchase the calendars, I will be publishing it on the lulu.com website. It will be a 12 month calendar and the price will be around $15.00. So... we need 12 nominations to make this work. If anyone is interested in a large size "premium" calendar (larger, glossy paper, etc...) let me know. I can add that as an option. The standard size is 11"x17", but there is an option for a 13.5"x19". The price goes up about $7.00 per calendar though.

Feel free to submit other board members or yourself. Just make sure it is a really good picture that is uncropped. Photos that are too "rectangular" will not work.

I will also need:
-the owners name (how they want it shown on the calendar- first name only, or first and last name)
-their city
-the details on the truck (example: 1961 Chevrolet Apache 10 Stepside)

Here is what I need for the pictures…

-You must have the original picture available to email me once the nominations are done.
-Pictures you took with your cell phone often have low resolution. Sometimes, I can make these work, but these NEED to be quality digital shots (for example, my iphone will take some photos that are 2 mb large... I can make these work)
-No photos that you scanned from 1983
-Preferably the complete truck centered in the photo- don’t let the bumpers get cut off in the photos (common problem apparently). I had a couple of these on the other calendar. This not only makes the truck look bad in the photo, it makes my cropping skills look bad
-More than likely, it needs to be outside, with good lighting. A picture you shot 5 minutes ago in your garage probably won’t cut it. UNLESS you have a really big (and well lit) garage with room to get the full truck into it. Haha.
-A straight on nose shot or even a rear facing shot would work too… as long as it is cool looking and the lighting is good.
-I’d say it needs to be visibly complete (or at least presentable and drivable) I know, they are never complete.
-IF it is an artistic "calendar" quality shot, it could get added too. (see the cover on the Classic Chevy Truck calendar) I think if the theme is right, a very small portion of the truck could be "calendar worthy"
-And -no people in the shots. Maybe next year... of course, many guys will vote for a "Chicks on trucks" theme. haha. If you have a really good picture of a smoking hot girl adorning the hood of your truck, I will gladly review it and make a decision. -just kidding-I will review it , but it still won't make the cut.
-You need to be the current owner of the truck. Otherwise, nominate the new owner (if he/she is a board member)

Thanks to all

Heres some of the cooler pics of the truck... might work for you. I know the last one it vertical.... but it could be cropped pretty cool.
These look fairly washed out.... but we can fix that :-)

Thanks man! That was cruising last year to the Heavy Rebel Weekender in Winston Salem.

[chevy_man5]

I agree Jeff, that picture of Malibu's truck is cool!!


I would like to nominate J.Kirns 1960 Chevy 4x4

[chevy_man5]

I would like to also nominate Bubba327's 1964 C-10.








I'm sure they both probably have better pictures, but this is all I could find on their builds.

It depends on how long it takes to get 12 entries. If it jumps to 20+ quick, we'll end it. If it takes forever to get 12, we will end it when it reaches 12.

But, that photo would look GREAT in a fall month. A lot of guys have nice summer pics, not too many good fall/winter shots. I say... keep this one.

BUT... so far, this is shaping up to be some SWEET entries!!!

[Malibob]

hopefully you get WAY more than 20 then you have some choices of the best pictures.

Man, you got some awesome backdrops to work with. Wish I could get sunsets like that out east. Too many hills.

[jocko]

only problem is that you can never drive anywhere without the sun in your eyes, except at night! But no complaints here...

Man, the other calendar is cool. But this one... it's gonna be AWESOME!
I cant wait to see who else comes out of the wordwork!

The maximum amount of contestants we can have for a poll is 30. So, if we keep the current pace of nominations, we will get to that. I cant wait to see who else emerges

Don't forget Panels and Burb's. Only 12 to be selected? Pity with so many nice trucks on here.

Yep, it is open to all types of 60-66's. I mentioned it in post 1.

We did a 24 month for the other calendar...
http://www.lulu.com/product/calendar...month/18946404
I said I wouldn't do it again though. These take a lot of time to put together There is a lot of logistics involved in getting the high res photos from the contestants as well as their info and stats. 12 seemed like a easier number to work with.

We'll burn that bridge after we get the poll done.

ALSO... if you guys/gals know of anyone outside of the US/Canada that has a complete truck, I would love to see a nomination from overseas. It would show what a global following these trucks have.

Thanks

That is a sweet burb. What color is that if you don't mind me asking? I'd nominate Aerotruk63 if it's ok with him.
