It is fun hanging out with him and watching him drink all of Charlie and Jays beer. He is a cheap form of entertainment. I will miss him.
Maybe, next year

I'll try to stop by to meet you as I have a weekend place out at Brock.
If anyone sees the lift brackets or parts for upper clamshell of 47-53 suburban at any swap meets please call me ( 214-213-2471 ). I will pay you a reward to buy them for me.
Thanks
Sid

I'm sure all will be at Decatur. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | Dennis, still trying to scrounge up a fender for you. I'm assuming you want no spare indent. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 438 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 438 | Cletis
I checked with all three with no luck. Seems clamshell parts are scarce as hen's teeth.

Lots of the national venders have spaces. Lots of independent vendors, some from out of state. Come on down and be sure to stop by and say howdy. http://www.wcaac.com/dsm.htm

I decided I must have been at the wrong space. Anyway, it was the first time I had ever been to the Decatur meet and it was a good one! Made the 4 1/2 hour drive from San Antonio and back worth it. Found lots of AD parts!!!
