Last year, several people brought things to give away in the Swap Meet area and we had a few things from our goody box.
Hagerty has sent us a bunch of cloth carry-bags that are nice.
Guy Auto Parts / NAPA is putting together some goodies for us to give away.
American Classic Truck Parts has sent us TWO $50 gift certificates.
Guy Excavating has donated a 2-ton Task Force GMC donor / practice truck for our use / disposal / demolition.
Will work on getting some more. Will make space for these guys on the Homecoming page when I get back to it.

I have lots of extra parts and I need a few. I was thinking about maybe starting a thread of a wish list of parts wanted by attendees of the homecoming so we could bring what someone needs rather than bringing a tractor-trailer load of who-knows-what.

It changed this post. There was more stuff in the Swap Meet than I knew. Good job making a list here.

Oh yeah, some stuff was sold. I moved some extra items (rims w/tires, a steering wheel, some other stuff). I was looking thru the garage yesterday at things I want to bring this year.

And then please take it all home with you after. Please do not "donate" unswapped parts/components to Stovebolt.com.
Metal items left at Friendship Forest after Homecoming will be added to the scrap pile and sent to China. Flammable items will be added to the burn pile and sent to heaven in the form of smoke.
Items I will add to the SwapMeet:
flywheel ring gear (from a '54 I think)
'47'54 bumper brackets (1/2-Ton)
Bumper (AD, I think)
Lower flywheel cover
AD Big Bolt running board
Task Force fan shroud
Various radiators (GMC and AD) with useable cores
Various starters, generators, etc
Mostly complete '53 Dodge M-37 no front bumper or top, does not run, no title
'65 GMC 4000 series truck. Runs good, good title. Recent paint job
Starter, flywheel for a 261
Misc engine parts for GMC 305 V6 engine
Box of Arrow turn signal parts, lenses, steering column units (have to take whole box for price)
Possibly -- Good running 216 (currently in truck)

I'm interested in GMC radiators and Big Bolt running board. Flywheel cover if for later (than AD) model big truck?
Everyone,
I could bring a set of six, 6 lug Bud 22.5" tubeless wheels if a deal is made ahead of time. These fit many 56 and later Chevy and GMC big bolts among various other years and makes.

I think Frank58 needs those wheels .... ?

I think John will pick up the stuff from Guy Auto Parts tomorrow.
