March 2021 ToTM - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Palf70Step** · 02-13-2021, 12:45 PM

The theme for our March 2021 contest is

Extensive Vastness

Definitely a play on words but the idea is for those with an extensive length (ie longbed) and vast spaces between the side, ie widebed or fleetside style. To be eligible for this month’s contest you must meet the following criteria

Open to all years and models of trucks that are long fleetside bed (ie….8 foot or more) style trucks.
The nominee must be a board member and the current owner of the truck.
The must be together and able to move on its own power.
If a truck was selected as a 2020 or 2021 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 with at least one full view of the vehicle. In addition, we will need the owner’s board name and the Make/Model/Year of vehicle.

Nominations will run through February 21. 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 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 evening of March 1. The announcement of the TOTM winner will be posted through the General Discussion Board area.

I'll be first my banana truck as my grandson calls it

**Dan in Pasadena** · 02-13-2021, 10:17 PM

This criteria automatically excludes ALL trucks before 1958!

tim_mc · 02-13-2021, 10:53 PM

I thought I'd nominate my '67 C20. It's not fully restored nor a low-mileage barn find, but it's a lot of fun to drive and maintain. This board has contributed to this truck in countless ways. Thanks to everyone that has posted over the past few years!

**FirstOwner69** · 02-14-2021, 12:02 AM

My '69 CST/20. I bought it new in 1969 and completed a frame off restoration in 2014. I installed a GM Vortec crate engine and added shoulder belts, tilt, AM/FM and Hummer wheels. All original parts are in storage. It now has 120,xxx original miles.

P7M89MM · 02-14-2021, 01:51 AM

I have no objection to that. Anytime you make any specific TOTM criterion, you automatically exclude all trucks that don't fit that criterion. For example, they've had TOTM for green trucks - which automatically excludes all yellow trucks, red trucks, blue trucks, etc. The whole point is to pare it down to a manageable few. Heck, I'm going to have a hard enough time making up my mind as it is!
