Arrow October Truck of the Month Nominations - Plain Vanilla!

I told you I was running short of ideas. This month's theme is Plain Vanilla, trucks that are white. White trucks don't usually get a lot of love, many are fleet trucks or work trucks, no cushy options or fancy rims. But a Cummins under the hood beats a flashy paint job every time. So if your Dodge has a paint scheme that matches your refrigerator, post it up! All years are eligible this month, it just has to be a Cummins powered Dodge pickup to have a shot.

Remember that your nominating pic MUST be from your DTR photo gallery. All white Cummins powered Dodges only! No two tones, diesel conversions, C&C models, or flatbeds this month. All non-conforming entries will be deleted without further explanation.

Truck Of the Month Procedure

* 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 ONE 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. 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 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!

          Truck is actually a vanilla bean color thanks to a short ride behind a Penn DOT tar truck. It's actually got tiny black specks like vanilla bean ice cream does.

          Looks 2 tone to me. Sorry.

          Hey Rob, which truck are you entering? Please post a pic of just that one.

          Here's mine. It is an ST model (no "cushy" options). Other than what's in my signature, I've added tow mirrors, a Linex bedliner and a B&W hitch.
