Went to a swap meet here in the area and think I came out ok with a few necessities.

Bench Seat from '65 el camino and rear bumper from an earlier model truck = $135
2 ton Engine Hoist = $70
Original Shop manuals and reprint operators manual = $65 (Not a steal I just wanted the originals)
Bench Grinder = $40
Clutch head bits = $12

I think I did ok for my first swap meet. Next step is to empty the garage into the spare bedrooms and start disassembly.

Swap meets are fun even when you are not buying anything. grin Looks like you did good especially the bumper and seats. The onset of winter is usually the bargain times at swaps.

That seat looks great, and it looks like you did pretty good on the bumper and hoist!
