May 2023 ToTM
 

For our May 2023 Truck of the Month (ToTM) contest the theme is

Mo-powah, not May Flower


To push us further into spring, we need more power to get the aroma of our lives. . Here’s the criteria for this month’s contest.

• Open to all years and models of Trucks, Blazers, Suburbans, Tahoes, Yukons, and Jimmys.
• It must be powered by a big cubic inch gasoline powered GM Big Blocks. For this month it will be any engine that is 389 CID (6.4L) or larger. This could be a big block or a screaming small block.
• The vehicle nominated needs to belong to a board member during the time of the contest.
• It must be road worthy and currently legal (until the cops catch you) to be on the road.
• If a truck was selected as a 2022 or 2023 ToTM winner then you are ineligible. If the truck was nominated but not selected as a ToTM winner then it 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 and one showing the engine. In addition, we will need the owner’s board name and the Make/Model/Year of vehicle.

Nominations will run through April 23. The first 15 nominees that meet the criteria will participate in the contest 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 Make/Model/Year of vehicle. I will PM the nominees to get any additional data or pictures if they have not already been provided. 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 April 24 in this board area and an announcement will be posted on the Discussion Boards to notify all that voting has begun. The Poll will run thru the morning of May 1 and the official announcement of the winner will be on the evening of May 1.
