67-72 Suburban / Panel Calendar

[jeffg1010]

I just published a calendar featuring Classic Chevy Trucks (all years), and I wanted to do one for us Burb guys, since there wasn't any Burbs in the 12 month version. (and mine was the only was one in the 24 month version-not representing well for the Burb crowd). Link to calendar http://www.lulu.com/product/calendar...rucks/18945824

If you want your Burb/Panel (or someone else's-must be an active forum member who I can get in touch with) submitted for the calendar, post the BEST pictures (2-3) you have of it. After receiving all of the photos, I will post a poll for forum members to vote on the calendar trucks. 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 this is open to all Burbs and Panels in the 67-72 range. AND... anywhere (not just in the USA)

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 $15.00. So... we need 12 nominations to make this work. If anyone is interested in a large size "premium" calendar (larger, glossy paper, etc...) let me know. I can add that as an option. The standard size is 11"x17", but there is an option for a 13.5"x19". The price goes up about $7.00 per calendar though.

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
-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
-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 the other calendar. This not only makes the truck look bad in the photo, it makes my cropping skills look bad
-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 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 , but it still won't make the cut.
-You need to be the current owner of the truck. Otherwise, nominate the new owner (if he/she is a board member)

Thanks to all

I'll throw my Burb in the mix for consideration. After sitting uncovered in a dusty garage all winter while I worked on restoring the Blazer, I finally put a (used) TH350 in it so I can rebuild the 200 4R. I washed her up and she let me know that she felt neglected.

Here's mine all finished and ready to go.

Not seeing much action over here. If you know of a good looking Burb, throw it on here.

[jbclassix]

I wish I could put mine up for nomination, but I don't have any great pictures of it, and it's not in one piece.

Since Dougo hasn't been around for a while, I am going to post his awesome burb for him.

Are you thinking about doing some lowering and wheels on yours? It would look sweet as long as you didnt do anything you couldnt "reverse" on that original survivor
