TXDeisel ...

Boy .. now that's an idea!! Personalized plaques ... I'll talk to the CO that makes them to see how long a delay that would make .... hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Your suggestion ... although I don't think you were looking for "your Name" on the plaque ... but that really sounds like a great idea!!

Thank you!!


Keith

OK .. just talked to the finance manager .... she said ... we can do this two ways ..

1st option: add a stick on name plate - which is no biggie ... not a big delay ..

2nd option: We can have the name engraved directly on the main plaque .... she will call and inquire on the options/timeframe to add this ....

Any opinions?

The TOM committee peruses the member albums and finds a some worthy trucks.

Then they narrow it down to 3 trucks and let the DTR membership vote for the favorite.

The one with the most votes wins.

Way back when I got mine selected, (December 2003) it was just the comittee that fought it out,
much better letting the members vote.

So, get pics of your truck uploaded, the next 3 trucks will be submitted for voting on the 15th.

Keith, thanks for my plaque also! It is a prized possession. I have a lot of people ask about my truck so I carry the plaque in my truck to show it off!

Hey Dodgezilla, my Hubby makes faces when he sees it too, grins from ear to ear!

Belated thanks from me, too, Keith. Mine's on the wall above my bed.


I think it's pretty obvious that I'm single.
