Ok, I have been to swap meets before, but after years of having no time or money for this, I finally got back into the hobby with the '47 panel a year ago. Well, work and school keeps me from spending much time, but school ends in February!
So Scott Ward (48 Bigtrucks) gave me the heads up on the custom car club swap meet this weekend out at the local speedway. I went, looking for some taillights for the panel. Didn't find them, but I did pick up a gauge cluster with a nice round speedometer and fuel gauge for $10.00. They thought they were from a '78 Camaro. Speedo goes to 130! Like as if my truck will ever see that! At least 65 will be straight up.
I did learn some things about my panel, and got some ideas for the taillights. Froze my buns off in the process. I noticed a lot of guys dressed like it was the arctic. Think I learned something there too...
Not five minutes after I bought the gauges, I found another set that looked like they would work too. $110.00! I tucked my little $10.00 deal under my arm and moved on.
