There is also Lugo's classic truck show in Loomis, I think that usually happens around the 1st of July. Last spring I was invited to a Pilot house (old Dodge trucks) get together in Clements CA. The guy that puts it on has a ranch and has been doing this every year for the Pilot house guys. This past year they decided to invite non Dodge guys and had a great turnout. It would be great if us NorCal Stovebolters could get something like this going on an annual basis. Bob. 52 3100

I could still meet up,just would be in another rig. I really like the idea of meeting at the museum. Would be nice to turn it into an annual event! 41GMC COE http://s579.photobucket.com/user/nd69/library/Miss%20Betty

There is the ATIS show coming on April 25th at the Amador fairgrounds in Plymouth. Also Lugo's has a truck show in Loomis, not sure of the date but probably sometime in July. I would love to get together with some norcal guys sometime! Bob. 52 3100

Santa Rosa (hour north of san fran) a woodland get together would be cool, but i believe the truck collection in woodland was moved to reno, but there is still the AG history museum. EDIT: i just checked the website and the hayes truck museum was in fact moved to reno Last edited by oldtek88; 03/19/2015 4:20 AM. 1959 Chevy Viking 60 In the Stovebolt Gallery More pix on Photobucket

Don't have much interest in meeting in Woodland but there is enough people near Chico to think about that. Bidwell Park would make a nice gathering spot. A tour of the Sierra Nevada Brewery could also be done. Any interest? Chuck 1952 Chevy 3100 1/2-Ton In the Stovebolt Gallery More pictures on Photobucket

Goodguys in Pleasanton was a good show...lots of Stovebolts on display. Didn't have time to bring the truck.
