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
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.

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
Love this one. How many trucks shed their skin so that yours could have life? I'd drive it.

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.
