July Truck of the Month - Essay Contest!

I tried something very different this month, and I think it worked out well. There are lots of factors to think about this month - will you vote based on the essay, the pic, the generation, or a combination of all those?

Thank you to everyone who entered, this was a great month for entries.

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 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. 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!

          Copejunkie gets my vote! Just something about that truck.
          The essay is good too. If you read it quickly it sounds like the previous owner was beat with the ugly stick

          Man this was hard...

          All nice rigs, all of them.

          I owe both Marc and Sooty for there great support for my TOM victory, I havent forgotten yall.

          Sooty is a fellow 6.7'er and has one heck of a nice rig.

          Why cant I vote twice..... , talk about being torn!

          Soot, you have my best wishes, but, I have to be loyal to my friends and my roots.

          Marc, You've got my vote buddy. Good luck Sir!

          I've found that the closer the competition, the more votes it gets. This month really surprised me, I thought if anything "got soot" would be the one in the lead. Shows how much I know...
