73-87 Square Body Calendar - Nominate your favorites!

I have published a few calendars featuring quite a few different body styles on here and someone told me this weekend I needed to give the Square guys a little "calendar lovin'", SO here we go.
I would like this theme to be "73-87 Square Body's"

Link to one of the latest calendar's...

NOW... before you start uploading your photos, please read through the rest of this post. It seems that we always get one or two nominations that havent read the criteria.

If you want to nominate your truck (or another board member: They must be an active forum member (who I can get in touch with).

Post the BEST pictures (2-3 if you have them) you have of it. After receiving all of the photos, I will post a poll for forum members to vote on the calendar trucks. This should be around May 1st. The maximum amount of contestants we can have for a poll is 30, so that will be the cut off point -unless we dont get to it in a timely fashion. You can nominate more than one. AND... they can be located anywhere (not just in the USA -in fact I think an overseas addition would be cool) This is open to all trucks for now. After this one is done, (and if enough people show interest) I will do a 73-87 Blazer and 73-87 Suburban Calendar. Feel free to go ahead and throw your Blazers/Suburbans on this nomination thread for inclusion in the other calendars.

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 $17.00 for a regular size and 27.00 for the large size. So... we need 12 nominations to make this work. The standard size is 11"x17", and the larger size is 13.5"x19".

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, state
-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 :lol:
-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 a couple of the other calendars. This not only makes the truck look bad in the photo, it makes my cropping skills look bad :lol:
-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 :metal: 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 :lol:, but it still won't make the cut. :metal:
-You need to be the current owner of the truck. Otherwise, nominate the new owner (if he/she is a board member) It wouldn't be cool to nominate yourself if you sold your truck last year.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you subscribe to this thread if you are nominated. I will post updates on here after the poll is over. If you do not get me the info/photos after the poll is over, I will move on to the next highest poll finisher. These calendar's require a lot of effort and I appreciate your timely response to updates/info requests. I would prefer not to have to chase you down via PM for info. I may just request the info from the next highest finisher.

Thanks to all :bowtie:
