March 2013 TOTM - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Palf70Step** · 02-13-2013, 08:48 PM

Since most all of us are dealing with the holiday of the heart, our theme for the March 2013 Truck of the Month (TOTM) contest will take on an old familiar ring….

Heartbeat of America

To see what it takes to be a nominee March TOTM, the truck will need to meet these criteria:

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 to be on the road.
The truck’s primary color is RED!
If a truck was selected as a 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 at least one picture of the interior and one full outside view of the nominee's vehicle, as well as the owner’s board name, and make/Model/Year of vehicle.

Nominees will run through February 21. 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. 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 by February 22 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 March 1 and the official announcement of the winner will be on the afternoon of March 1. The announcement of the TOTM winner will be posted through the General Discussion Board area.
