April 2007 Truck of the Month - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Palf70Step** · 04-14-2007, 09:10 PM

Alright, trying something a little different again for this month. The theme is:

It's what's on the inside...

Our theme is about the truck with the nicest interior, stock, custom or anywhere inbetween.

Let us check out the criteria or rules for those being nominated.

• Open to all years and models of trucks, Blazers/Jimmys, Suburbans, and panels.
• It must be together and able to move on its own power.
• If a truck has won a TOTM already in 2006 or 2007, 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 your truck. Just add the nomination to this thread. We will need a two pictures minimum with/for the nomination. One picture of the interior (at least) and one full outside view of the nominee's vehicle, as well as the owner’s board name, and the any specs of the truck (interior details, year, engine/drive train specs). You or your nominator can provide additional info if desired.

Nominees will through April 22. If additional information is needed, then I will PM the first 15 nominees to get any additional data or pictures if they have not already been provided. You can PM me for an e-mail address in case anyone has problems resizing them for the board. A Poll Thread will be set up in this board area. The poll will have 1 inside and 1 outside shot of the nominee's vehicle. An announcement will be posted on the Discussion Boards to notify all of the voting. The Poll will start to run on April 23 and will run until the morning of April 30. The official announcement of the winner will be on the afternoon of April 30. The announcement of this month’s TOTM winner will be posted through the General Discussion Board area.
