F100 Show in Moultrie GA Nov 16-18

[bmcgc]

Im heading down Saturday morning to the swap meet/show.

Im hoping to drive the 66, but I havent had much road time and am a little nervous about making the 260 mile roundtrip.

I want a hood and core support and some misc stuff, to much to fit in the wifes Cailber or my Harley.

Anyone else plannign on making the swapmeet?

[cwindsor]

Is it a F100 swap meet or just a all around swap meet?

[bmcgc]

Im told Midwest Obsolete and Hot Rods F-100 will have booths and the swap meet is huge.

If you cant make it, I will post pics and gloat.

Been there a few times, probably going when they come back in Feb. Huge swap meet with everything!!!! Worth the trip.

I might have made the trip down if I'd have known about it sooner! Let us know how it is...

Swap meet was a bust if you wanted F100 parts, a huge success if you wanted Chevy parts.

What few F100 parts were there were in poor condition and way over priced.

350 miles round trip, a pocket full of cash, 3 hours of walking dragging the misses along with me, and I spent $25 on an oem owners manual. I owe her big time.

If you have ever gone to the Pomona swap meet, and are a Ford guy. Its like you are in Hell. There are acres and acres of parts consisting of 99% GM parts and 1% of Ford parts. Of those 1%, 0% are anything you'd ever want to pay money for.

Its just easier to buy a whole truck for parts.

BM,
Buying a complete parts car or truck is a lesson I've had to teach myself over & over. As advanced years are creeping up on me I decided I did after all want power steering on my '66.
A really rusty '79 showed it's self to me a month or so back. I was pretty sure I could buy the glider for $300, worked out I could & right after the first frost, I did. The cab and front clip along with a mystery radiator went to scap iron, net $124.00, it had a small block C6 just sitting in it, sold as core $50.00, a pretty decent front bumper brought $25,00. The pick up bed trailer will bring $250.00.
I picked up power steering, power disc brakes, a front sway bar and a factory tilt column
for the '66. Net price on the parts "a little bit of labor". Along with a hundred fifty in folding money. Parts trucks, got to love them.

SURE Don't know where you walked but DID NOT GO BY Us with all CLEAN Truck parts especially since there was more than just those 2 you mentioned, especially since we are on a corner block on a main road,,,,,,,,, AND WE DO NOT HAVE JUNK, CRAP or RUSTED OUT PARTS Especially on our spaces ++++++++ SOLD many 6166 parts this weekend

I walked for over 3 hours. Didnt see you stuff or I would have stopped for sure.
