April 2012 TOTM

Time for the long awaited special Truck of the Month (TOTM) contest:

You really drive that?

Yep, you guessed it. The theme for this month will be our less than perfect specimens; our beaters, our beasts, our rust-buckets, our TRUCKS. Now here are the rules or criteria for the vehicles

To be an eligible beater
  • Open to all years and models of Trucks, Blazers, Suburbans, Tahoes, Yukons, and Jimmys.
  • The nominee must be a board member and the current owner of the truck.
  • It must be road worthy and currently legal (until the cops catch you) to be on the road.
  • It must have an unmatching paint scheme (no all primers)
  • It must have at least three other distinctly viewable issues. This includes things like:
  • Missing panels
  • Dents and Holes (large and small)
  • Dominate rust formations (not patina)
  • Anything that might make someone afraid to go near it for fear of catching some sort of disease
  • If a truck was selected as a 2011 or 2012 TOTM winner then you are ineligible. If you were nominated but were not selected as a TOTM winner then you may be nominated and compete in this month's category.
To Nominate:

You or someone else may nominate the vehicle. The nominee must be a board member and the current owner of the truck. Once you decide on who you wish to nominate, just add your nomination to this thread. We will need two pictures minimum (at least one full view of the vehicle) with/for the nomination as well as the owner’s board name, the year of the truck, and any other specs of the truck (interior details, engine/drive train specs) that you may want to provide.

Nominees will run through March 24. The first 15 nominees that meet the criteria will participate in the contest. I will PM the nominees to get any additional data or pictures if they have not already been provided. I normally use 1 picture showing a good front-side view and 1 with a rear view of the vehicle in the voting threads. If the owner has a preferred picture they want used in the contest, please let me know in a PM. You can PM me for an e-mail address in case anyone has problems resizing the pictures for the board. A Poll Thread will be set up in this board area and an announcement will be posted on the Discussion Boards to notify all of the voting. The Poll will start to run on March 25 and will run until the morning of April 1. The official announcement of the winner will be on the afternoon of April 1. The announcement of the TOTM winner will be posted through the General Discussion Board area.

I'd like to nominate makman1297 with his '77. On a side note, my search criteria was the word "beat". This was the first thread that showed up.

Re: April 2012 TOTM

Darn! mine's just a little too nice to qualify . It's a driver,won't win any beauty contests,but the rust is minimal,dents are most dings,trim's all there but faded out only on one side...nope,not quite bad enough to win.
I'm trying to figure who I can nominate w/o offending them. Hmmm...I think this is one to leave for self-nominations. I wanna keep what friends I have

Re: April 2012 TOTM

I might as well throw my 64 in the mix. This is the only TOTM category that it qualifies for.

Just because you drive a beater doesn't mean that you can't look good doing it.
