Morning Y'all, I had a great day at the Swap Meet yesterday. It's about a 2.5 hour drive for me but definitely worth it. I had my Son Justin and a couple of good friends David and Adam as my entourage, took turns pulling the War Wagon.
I found an intake manifold for a 454 project I have going, great deal at $100.00. Picked up an intercooler for the 261 Turbo project, stole that at $50 00. I located a complete under bed spare tire mount for a 47-55.1 AD, these are a rare find, I bartered this down to $125.00. ( this goes to PaPa Joe)
Of course I left with a couple of Craftsman Tool Boxes. I gave $20.00 for a large red box with the tray. I haggled the price down to $60.00 on a multi drawer Machinest type box. This box is filled with vintage Machinest tools, some are worth more than what I paid for the Toolbox.
I was supposed to meetup with RLB (Rob) and his wife, unfortunatelyhe had an overheating issue with his truck and was able to make the Swat Meet. While walking around I receiveda text from .593ETow (Andy) he was at the Swap Meet as well. I never managed to meet up with Andy though.
I did buy me some wall art, a steel lazer cut silhouette of a 58-59 Task Force. The fall Swap Meet is always larger than the spring event, this was the largest I have seen yet. There where plenty of Mom and Pop's as well as Pro Vendors, and a huge crowd of folks looking for their treasures.
