Sorry to be so late to get to reporting on yesterday's super show event. Even though we hit a confirmed 100 F (with a 114 F Heat Index) yesterday, we still had 102 vehicles that strutted their stuff for the Show-N-Shine yesterday.
A nice bump of more than 20 vehicles from last years event. Lots of Chevy and a few GMC trucks of many vintages were present. I'll add pictures for folks to see in the next coupe of posts.
I got there at 7:30am and there were already about a dozen "early" vehicles looking to snag the few all day shady spots. Long time attending folks know where and when to be - hahaha! With the heat and everyone in agreement, we called the show an hour early at 2pm with the awards ceremony, and folks skeedaddled pretty quick from there.
It was great to see and visit with several old Bolter friends, and even better to meet Rock49, a local Blue Springs 'Bolter, for the first time. He spotted Steve's (KCMongo's) logo and Steve and I happened to be chatting when he walked up and introduced himself. Looking forward to meeting again in the near future and hopefully he'll be able to attend the MBA Roundup in September.
In answer to your question Rock, the AD series trucks switched from a 5 glass tube fuse box in 1947-49 to the 2 glass tube fuse box for 1950-55.1 (First Series).
BTW Don, Tim "57 Drifter" saved the blue camp chair you left behind and gave it to me for safe keeping. I'll bring it to the Roundup to help it find its way home.
Pictures up next. Hope you enjoy.
Edit Note: Kevin beat me to the post button with the fuse box answer - Thanks Kevin!
