It's ELECTION time,,,,,,

Time for a vote on which Diesel Conversion you folks like the best.
We had some really nice rigs submitted and I think we can say that this category will be put into rotation with the rest of them.
Good luck to the three candidates!

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

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

* Starting Dec. 1st, 2007, we will post a thread with the winner for this 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 the 1st of the month until 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 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!

Maybe next time Hot Dawg .............Theres one in the mix that I was hoping made it though.....

 

Conversions are awesome, but I had to vote for 5.9excursion for a great write up on a great conversion.

 

Nice looking rig turbos10, I had an 87 standard cab. Takin me back........

 

Go BK.....................

 

hmm...guess my rig doesn't count anymore?

 

My hat is off to all the conversion guys- I know how much work there is into each and every one.

My vote went to 5.9 - I think it's showing DC what they did wrong and it shows that it is possible to get even the CR engine working in a different vehicle with each and every function it should have. Awesome!

I'm astounded that I am in the minority here so far!?

Who doesn't appreciate the classic and clean likes of the older Chevy/GMC trucks...........
No offense to the others of course, as Alpine said, the conversions are a ton of work anyway, regardless of the package they end up in.

 

I do....

Thanks for the props! It is definately a ton of work....fabricating crossmembers, drive shafts, shifters, and every piece/part from linkage to piping to wiring....all has to be custom. But, I love it now that it is done. My wife says the only thing that would make my truck more redneck is a rebel flag flying in the stake pocket

 

5.9 Excursion!!

 

Where are you located, that might be totally appropriate!

 

I had an 86 chevy short bed. Still love the look off those years of chevy.

 

I built a flag poll that goes in my bw turn over ball hole that I do fly a confederate flag in. Usually at the nascar race in Ft. Worth or other big parties.

 

Dang. I was hoping to get in on this TOM..........

 

Well, I am in Stephenville....so i guess I could fly that right next to the "Interstellar Coalition of Species" flag (search "Stephenville UFO" if you have somehow missed it)
