2015 Truck of the Year (ToTY) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Palf70Step** · 12-22-2015, 08:43 PM

For those of you newer to the board, instead of doing a Truck of the Month (ToTM) Contest for January, we gather up all the ToTM winners and have them compete for our Truck of the Year. Main rule that still applies is the vehicle must still be owned by a board member. So lets check out who our contestants are for the 2015 Truck of the Year. Voting will end on December 31 and our 2015 Winner will be announced on New Years Eve.

Can I vote 4 times? Haha! How do you pick just one?

flashed · 12-22-2015, 09:32 PM

Im going to have to study all these a while ,all very deserving .

**Ol Blue K20** · 12-23-2015, 03:46 PM

What a hard decision everyone of them are deserving of the title. Hopefully we won't let Steve Harvey announce the winner. ..lol

iowaboynca · 12-23-2015, 04:45 PM

Not to sway the voting too much, but the guy who built entry #3, the 53 5-window, Skymangs/Chris Klapp of Ol' Sarge Customs was severly injured in a shop accident earlier this year. You can read about the details here.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php?p=7288309

If memory serves the 53 was the last build he completed before his accident.

Might be a nice tribute to him on his road to recovery. Thought everyone might want to know.

1tuff71 · 12-23-2015, 05:15 PM

I'm bias to 4x4's but that crew cab is just plain cool.

straps57 · 12-23-2015, 05:58 PM

The crew cab is awesome and something I will most likely never see in person in my life. The 47 1 1/2 ton would be a close second.

swamp rat · 12-23-2015, 07:56 PM

That was a tough one! 5 stood out for me.

**IronCanine** · 12-23-2015, 10:40 PM

Gotta take my name out of the running. As psyched as I am to see the ole girl listed with these awesome trucks, I sold her a couple of months ago and don't qualify. All great candidates...my vote's for Pete's February K20 Super...just an outstanding example.

Hope the five guys that voted for me can get their vote back!

As proud as I am of my truck being in the running for TOTY I have to agree with you. Pete's k20 Cheyenne Super the February winner is an awesome example of perfection! Good luck Pete she is stunning

**bowtie72** · 12-24-2015, 10:14 AM

Some stiff competition. The list is full of very nice trucks!! Number #1 is going to be hard to beat.

coopdog · 12-24-2015, 11:17 PM

This is one tuff one, especially between #9 and #2 , the amount of time it must have took to get that flawless paint on #9 , and the amount of time it must have took to build the crew cab on #2 , both very impressive
