Being "Truck Force Two" is not just first runner up. It is an awesome responsibility. Because if for any reason "Truck Force One" is unable to serve, or carry out her responsibilities, I may be called upon to fulfill those duties, with dignity, grace and style.
I'd like to take a moment to thank the pageant organizers and sponsors. I am going dedicate my scholarship prize, in honor of the needy, less fortunate persons driving Toyotas. And most of all, I'd like to thank my parents, for raising me, protecting me, guiding me along the straight and narrow path of truth which only GM trucks can shine.
Christmas Sweepstakes.. The best photo of a pick-up loaded with toys to be donated to Salvation Army or Toys For Tots wins a Truck Force hat and T-Shirt. Photos must be of toys being removed by volunteers of such an organization -- with the sign of the place in the background. send your Pic's to dp2000@webtv.net
dave40, How do I post a picture? I have a scanner at work but no one in the office is good at the internet thing yet. Hell, I'm the first to figure out two years ago how to get online!! (dumb roofers here) Any advice? I'd really like to show you and others my fleet. Roc
may i help?.. you have to get someplace online to store your pictures. many of those free webpage offerings like: http://www.tripod.com , http://www.geocities.com, http://www.freeservers.com (i'd recommend them in that order) will do just fine. after signing up, just upload your picture to your webpage and copy the url of where it's located at so that you may paste it in your post here and it'll turn into a link.
now, for scanning pictures: after you scan it and do whatever editing, save it as a JPEG (.jpg) format (if there are options on your software, and mostly is, if you want, you can adjust the amount of compression--more compression, smaller size but lesser image quality, less compression, larger size, but better image quality)
for uploading, there most likely is a web-based tool or instructions for using ftp (a program-- a basic one comes with windows as a DOS command) to do so
hopefully, i can get pics of my super duty (modified) here soon
One thing you might want to try is take your pictures with a regular camera and have them developed by Kodak. Kodak has an option to develop the pictures on paper and also publish a CD that has the pictures in JPEG format. Their CD has software on it that is free and allows you to modify and clean up the picture. You can take those pictures and post them as e-mail attachments etc.
To my surprise my wife sent me some pictures that we had taken during our vacation. It is a quick and cheap way to get digital pictures without a digital camera. And as a side benefit, you get a true printed photo for yourself.

TRUCK FORCE CHIEF NOW "DEAD MULE JAKEY" -- HOW MANY STRANGE WAYS HAVE YOU PUT YOUR TRUCK TO USE? Best Stories Win Truck Force Action Prizes!! In my neck of the woods, when the Amish don't know your name, you'll probably be called "Jakey" sooner or later. My time was sooner when I received a scratchy phone call from an "Amish Pay Phone Booth". (They keep phones away from where they live, often in shacks where rain fouls-up the connection and voice quality.) The voice on the other end was unmistakeable, an Amishman. "Hey", says he "you're the hearse driver for mules aren't you Jakey?" Half asleep, I thought some buddy was putting me on, so I said, "ya, sure, you got Jakey the mule hearse man." "What can I do for Abner", I enquired? (You call all Amishmen Abner if you don't know their names.) "Well, I got this mule ain't doing me no good no more cause he's dead and I gotta get him outa the front of my place cause my Wife don't like dead things and it's startin' to sticnk some, you know." "In a flash of brilliance, I replied, "I guess it does ... don't all dead mules stink Abner?" "Yeah, Jakey, you got that right and I'm Milo, not Abner." "Abner's my cousin." Do you know him Jakey?, he asked rather suspiciously." No, I don't really know Abner well", said I, "but how do I get to your place to get the mule?" "It's gonna cost you fifty bucks and you've got to have the men to load it on my truck." "It's against my Religion to lift dead mules." "Really, Jakey, and what religion might that be?" I told him I was sorry but that it was also against my Religion to tell him the name of my Religion. "That would be too Worldly", I said. He replied, "Well Jakey, I certainly understand that, but do you think you could make it $35.00 for the mule carcass?" I shouted, "Hell no, I was going to get you for $75.00 plus mileage but I kinda felt you were the type of man that deserves a break." "Maybe not." "Oh no Jakey", he said quickly, "I am that type of man and I deserve a break for true" "Fifty it'll be and you'll get no more argument from me." "To get to my place, you first pass Intercourse on the way toward White Horse, passing Bird-in-Hand and when you get to the big street in Blue Ball, turn left and go 2.7 miles to the white place with a red barn and a green roof on the house ... that's me" "Name Milo Stoltzfoos is on the box." "You can't miss it." Wearing my full respirator mask and blasting the AC, I drove my Black Beauty into Milo's spread just past dusk to see some 15 Amishmen, several with Coleman Lanterns lighting-up the huge, dead mule. They told me it weighed between 1200 and 1500 lbs. dead. With a hoist hanging out of the upper barn window and hundreds of feet of 1" manila line, they manhandled the dead thing into my well protected cargo area (I'd stopped and bought a throw-away plastic drop cloth at the Hardware store to protect my sano super machine.) My Super Duty shocks and struts hardly budged when they dropped the big dead thing into the truck. Milo tried writing a check, but I reminded him about my Religion and how we only deal in cash. He looked cheated because he couldn't cheat me, which he'd loved to have done, and I blasted off the the renderers. The Flowmasters made a beautiful sound on that quiet country night and Amish Farm, and just getting $50. from an Amishman is a jackpot rarely duplicated in my experience. If you need Jakey's Hearse, Just call Truck Force Dave. Next time I'll tell you about the $1,000.00 fine I helped a friend pay to his nasty ex -wife. He took 50,000 pennies and dumped them into my truck bed filled with corn syrup (on protective plastic sheeting). My job was to dump the whole load in her front yard and give her a note from him that said something like, "Here's your grand [non-permissible content removed], I hope you have fun taking it to the bank! She yelled, screamed and groaned and I told her, I'm Truck Force Dave, alias Jakey the Hearse Man, I can't help you ... I just deliver in style!! If you've got a good story (and they have to be better than these), send them with pictures if possible and we'll make you a WEB-SITE STAR and send you a Truck Force Gift of great value. Well, sort of Great.

I remember when it was first being built about a year ago back home. Its a 3/4 ton with the 6.0. When they got done with it, a friend of mine drove it and said it was the worst thing to drive. The 4Xstore in Franklin Tn. built the lift from scratch, so you could not drive it over 30 mph or it was all over the road. It was deep blue with the black fender flares. It looks awesome with the new paint job.
My name's Mike and I live in northern VA. Here's a photo of my 1999 GMC Sierra 5.3 Z71, Black over Grey with every imaginable factory option. I've installed a Gibson dual rear exit catback, HPP III, 160º Powerstat, K&N air filter, Lund bugshield, York bedliner, Westin step bars and an English Spring Spaniel named Barney. Coming for Christmas: DeeZee bedcaps and a speaker upgrade. http://community.webtv.net/dp2000/TRUCKFORCEACTION
I didn't see any Tahoes, so I thought maybe you would let me break the mold. Afterall, it is a truck, and four wheel drive.

My name is Early and I live in south Louisiana. Here's a pic of my 98' Z71 back from a trip where a hummer got stuck in a hole I didn't. The truck is a Z71 SLT with every available option and Dueler M/T tires. I added a wood dash, CB Radio, Dual whip antennaes, Rawson Koenig toolbox, Line-X bedliner, and I also removed the front airdam (on the trail lol). To come-new sound system, JAOS Bull Bar, Nerf Bars, Bed Rails, Exhaust headers and cat back, Jet stage 2 powerchip and low temp thermostat, and two KC HID lights to finish it off. http://community.webtv.net/dp2000/TRUCKFORCEACTION
Here is my 2000 Sierra SLE Z71. It has the 5.3 liter engine and the autotrac transfer case. I have ordered a set of Warn 4x side steps. I am not planning any mods at this time. As this truck does not need to modified http://community.webtv.net/truckforce/USTF
I hope you are Y2K Compliant. Everyman should check his truck and girlfriend for the same compliance. They should both be able to start and run well at fast idle for an extended period of time. Not to mention "gettin' it on" no matter what road you're on or off of. Best To Ya, Dave-40 http://community.webtv.net/truckforce/USTF
Here are some pictures of my new 2000 GMC Sierra 4x4 extended cab p/u. It is fully loaded and all decked out. Got the striping done today. Hope you enjoy looking at it as I do driving it.
I think that's the best looking new Sierra I've seen! That striping really sets it off nicely. The only thing the truck needs now is a dual-out, split-rear, chrome-tipped exhaust system. Congrats on such a great looking truck! -powerisfun
