Exclamation November Truck Of the Month "Sign-Up" thread

For all of you "FLATBED" fans,,,,,,,,,,,
That will be the DTR Truck Of the Month category for the month of November.
This will be open for trucks of any year! (1st, 2nd & 3rd Gens,,,, SRW & DRW)

It's time for all you folks with a "Mobile-Helicopter-Landing-Pad" on the back of your rig to post your pics!

POST YOUR PICS in this thread!


**********************************************
Truck Of the Month Procedure for 2008

The DTR TOM Staff has come up with a new procedure for choosing the TOM candidates.


* Around the 1st of the month, we will post a thread with the winner for the previous month’s poll in the General Diesel Discussion section of the forums.

* At the same time, we will post a “TOM Candidate” thread in the same forum. In this thread we will announce the category of trucks that will be accepted as possible candidates. (1st Gen 250, 350, 2nd Gen 2500, 3500, 3rd Gen 2500, 3500, MegaCab, etc.)

* If your truck falls into the chosen category for that month and you would like to have a chance to be in the poll, then you can nominate your truck by posting a picture from your gallery in that thread.
* NOTE: The picture MUST come from your Diesel Truck Resource Member Photo Gallery! (Anything else will be deleted.)

* You can also list some of the mods and accessories on your rig in the same post. Please post only once in that thread because the TOM committee will select three trucks from that thread to be in the poll. The process for selecting the three candidates from this thread will be completely at random. If your truck is not selected for the poll or it is but it doesn't win, you may nominate it again when your category comes back around.

* Previous Winners of the TOM will not be eligible to participate. (Previous Winner being defined as truck and/or DTR Member)

* The “TOM Candidate” thread will be open from around the 1st of the month until around the 14th of the month. That gives you two weeks to submit your truck.

* At this time it will be locked, the three poll candidates will be chosen at random and the poll will be posted on or around the 15th . The poll will be voted on until the end of the month and we start all over again on the 1st of the next month by posting the winner in one thread and posting the “TOM Candidate” thread for the next month's category.

          Special THANKS to Tim Barber at TRE Diesel Performance for sponsoring the TOM Award plaques!

          Having trouble downloading more pics to the gallery, most of my pics are in photobucket, and I don't want them to get kicked off for not being in my gallery...

          But I guess this won't be in the original post, so here goes nothing!!!

          Here is my '91 D350. Purchased as a Cab and Chassis and immediately had the sleeper and bed put on. Did some work a couple years ago to freshen it up.

          Used for hauling the ATV's and trailer to play areas



          With Trailer in tow.

          OK here is my truck, the pictures are from a couple years ago, but it pretty much looks the same now. I can't get any new pictures right now as its still down getting an alternator upgrade.







          Hope everyone likes it.
