We have a celebrity in our midsts. I just got this coming year's calander from one of suppliers (Kaestner Auto Electric Co.). They hand out "Antique Trucks" calendars. I turn to the first month and looky what I see;

Miss January... Dennis Sullivan's 1949 Dodge B1B

I knew that picture was out there. In fact Dennis showed it to me, and told me the back story, earlier this year.

Here's a couple more to tease our membership.

One for Young Ed... Miss April...'41 Plymouth

One for GregG... Miss March... '49 Studebaker

And for the rest of you Dodge Truck fans... Miss December... '47 Dodge WJA 57 Dump Truck

That was kinda fun to get a pile of calendars in the mail this June. I also talked to a fellow that sells calendars and told him that all of the trucks in this calendar are from Minnesota. He got me the catalog from the printer and there are several versions of the calendar picture with my truck in it.

All of these trucks were at the Fathers Day Truck show at Ellingsons Car museum in Rogers, Minnesota and the photographer was asking for names and phone numbers of various trucks on display. Merles is the first one from a real advertiser.

I was visiting up in Grand Forks North Dakota over the New Years and I stopped in at a store called the "Home of Economy" and what do you know, my pickup was on one of their calendars. They give out calendars with only one picture on it, and they had a selection of four different scenes and my pickup was one of the scenes.

My name isn't identified on the calendar so the clerk would only give out one to a customer.

Ok, I've got to chime in here and maybe toot my own horn a little too. I subscribe to another internet forum called the Mopar Mailing List. It deals primarily with muscle era Mopars but also the newer stuff and occasionally older stuff too. But all discussion is welcome as long as there's a Mopar tie in somewhere somehow.

Anyway, on that list is one individual who each year asks members to submit pictures of their rides for a calendar that the members of the list vote on. 12 months, 12 votes. The last count I heard was there are about 600+ members on the list. He then organizes the whole thing for individual purchase at

or can be viewed at

and clicking on the 2010 calendar.

It's gratifying to selected by professional photographers. It's also gratifying to be selected by your peers.

My little 'Green Bean II' is Mr. July.

1952 B 3 with a Volare front end setup, 400 inch Dodge big block with lots of go fast goodies in it and on it, 727 tranny, and a wicked sounding exhaust note.

Ok. I think I'm done chiming and tooting now.

I don't want to steal anyone's thunder here as it's exciting to get one's truck on a calendar. All of the DPETCA members have calendars going out into the mail this week. They were delayed this year for a variety of reasons, mainly it took longer to get them printed and I'm still waiting on the USPS to deliver the stamps so I can send out. All 200 of them. But they should go out by the end of the week.

There are 12 mighty fine images of our members pilothouse trucks, all selected by some of our own members doing the judging.. Look forward to getting these soon.
