May 2012 TOTM

[Palf70Step]

The Truck of the Month (TOTM) contest theme for May is:

Pleasures Having a Fleeting Brilliance

In case you cannot guess, this month is dedicated to those who love our fleet-side model trucks. So in order to compete in this month’s contest you will need to meet these criteria.

• Open to all year fleet-side trucks.
• The truck must be together and able to move on its own power.
• The truck has to be licensed for street use.
• 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 April 23. 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 April 24 and will run until the morning of May 1. The official announcement of the winner will be on the afternoon of May 1. The announcement of the TOTM winner will be posted through the General Discussion Board area.

This is putting me in a very uncomfortable position. How am I expected to vote for 3 different trucks in the same month?!

[rwhit57]

I'll throw mine in. It's nothing special, but it started out a long bed Iowa farm truck. After changing all the sheet metal out with an Okla. truck the same color I drove it for a couple of years before cutting it down and making it a short bed. All the body work is done and it's waiting for fresh paint.
