December 2012 TOTM - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Palf70Step** · 11-19-2012, 09:14 AM

The theme for December’s Truck of the Month contest is.

DOWN thru the Chimney!

This month our theme will focus on our low rider vehicles.

Any make model, style of lowered GM truck, Blazer, Suburban, Tahoe, Jimmy, or Yukon.
It 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 November 25. 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 by November 26 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 December 2 and the official announcement of the winner will be on the afternoon of December 2. The announcement of the TOTM winner will be posted through the General Discussion Board area.

Okay, I know ya didn't think that Ol John Lee qualified based on the pics I sent, but hang on tight. I let summa the air outa the tires and he's sittin lower in the front. I'm playin with the back tires now to get a neat rake so...

I'll have ya some new pics of how he looks lowered and raked which should be pretty sweet. Now about air bags, I heard they get used for suspensions that can be lowered but, how do ya install and make em work?... I got 4 good ones from the junk yard offa some wrecked sentras - rolled em back up and puttim inside the coil springs on my truck but don't see how to hook them up or how'd they work? They're pretty dusty too, white powder all over stuff.
