Lonnie,
I have asked a couple of experts about this.
I was told that as long as you ask for and are given permission by the site owner then you can put up whatever you want.
On the other hand you (like me) may have things you pulled off of websites years ago, and don't know where it came from.
If that is the case then you have a couple of choices.
1. Don't put it up.
2. Put it up.
If you choose choice 2 then you run the risk of somebody writing you someday and asking you to take their picture down.
I asked the "Can I get sued?" question several times, and the general agreement was that for what we are working with nobody will spend the money to sue us, they will just ask you to take it down.
If somebody does such a thing, make sure they are the owner of the item in question (not the truck, but the image), and take it down.
It is as simple as that!
Eric
