Is the geometry UV mapped? If not, you'll have to do that first. If so, open the UV texture editor along with your bump image and align it that way. Hope that helps, and of course if you have more questions about this, feel free to ask.

It's never too late (or early) to learn UV mapping and get a good texturing workflow going. I'm no pro, but after a little while it gets much less daunting and tedious than it seems to start with. Start by checking out the Maya help tutorial on UV mapping.

But I think I see the problem there, if you really don't want to UV map it, try selecting only the top faces and apply your blinn texture to those faces only, instead of the whole geometry.

Glad it worked. Even hard surface objects such as vehicles should be UV mapped, so that you can add texture and bump detail that doesn't need to be in the geometry. Any wear/tear/dirt/rust or otherwise non-uniform color will need a good UV layout to work well.

No reason not to open a new thread for another question, so that the thread title is relevant to the question.
