Ok ya”ll, been a while since I posted but went out this evening to a Cruise in at a new restaurant I been wanting to try. The food was good but by the time I got back outside it was too dark except for the one picture I got. They turned lights on later but oh well. Still felt good to get out. Been really busy with work and grand babies.
Please don't tell my wife how much this thing cost!
That looks like a good turn out. Our local shows haven't started up yet.

My wife Nelda and I had the privilege of giving 'The Little Blue Truck ' experience to two different schools this past week. Thursday was a church school and Friday was CECO. CECO is a school for severely handicapped children.

We went to Car Show sponsored by a local Church this Saturday. It had a decent turnout but there were very few Trucks, and fewer "Old" Trucks. Here are some pics for your enjoyment.

Thanks for posting, everyone. I enjoy going to the shows & cruise in’s. The old car/truck hobby covers a lot of territory as far as types & makes of vehicles. Never know what you might see.

I'll be attending the monthly cruise-in this coming Saturday on the square in Scottsboro, AL if anyone else in the area wants to join me. Maybe I'll get to see what the NE AL old truck community is ...

Got out today with the wife and went to a seafood festival/car show over in Waveland. Pretty decent turnout. You see some of the same trucks but this had some different Louisiana folks that must have driven over.

Few more, Yes, you will probably only see a camo trick in Ms. 😂🤣. There are a few good pictures of the raffle truck the blue and white c-10. A very well done truck.

I’m thinking Alvin needs a posi unit in that truck. Savings on right rear tires ought to help pay for it. LOL. Every time I’m tempted to launch the C10 like that, I think about how much I don’t want to scatter my drive train all over the roadway. Great photos, btw. Thanks for posting.

Or just weld the spider gears together! It will only buck a little on tight corners.

Y'all, don't need to give Alvin any incentive, he sends us pictures of him hitting 100 MPH quite regularly...

Ok, after 3 tries finally made it up to the Smokey Mountain Nationals and the Southern Bolters Jamboree held at the same time. Did not get to bring my own truck but maybe next year. We all dodged rain drops most of the day but it was nice to meet most of the folks in person on this site. Just a few pictures below. I will post some more pictures tomorrow since it will be sunny all day. Trucks everywhere, grocery stores all the hotels. A lot of time was spent today drying them off after the multiple showers today More to follow!!

Wd had a local Show on Saturday. Proceeds were going to a Woman that is battling Cancer. Not many Trucks and fewer GM's.
