Event Coverage Treasures I found last weekend at the Springfield, MO swap meet

Last weekend I went to the Springfield Mo August swap meet and I managed to find a few things to buy and bring home including a 34 Ford windshield header panel, a couple big block chevy tunnel rams, a wooden horse for my wife to decorate with, 5 32 Ford grill inserts and a pair of 32 Ford five window coupe doors. I usually do pretty well ant this swap meet and today was no different.

 

Is she going to pinstripe or flames on the horse?

 

From what I usually find around my neck of the woods that looks like you were at Hershey.

 

Ya did good - congrats

 

I came somewhat close to going this year. I bet it has been 30 years since I have made that swap meet but it was sure a good one last time I went. Looks like you did good!

 

I was there and found some good parts.

 

Hot damn! Good scores

 

Did the coupe door come off of a Coca Cola truck..
I wish there were good swap meets way down here with good stuff. Here they are mostly Chinese tool vendors.

 

I was their friday they said it was sold out (vender). the place was packed. I bought a nice engine run stand. Could have sold it 4 times on the way to my truck. neat swap.RLS

 

The horse needs some TLC and some glue and carving. When it's ready she want's to paint the horse off white and will antique it. It should be a fun little project

 

It's local for me so I always go. I haven't missed one since the first one I went to in 1976. Damn that makes me sound old.

 

I bought a $3 bottle of water . I did a lot of walking and some visiting

 

Awesome! Thank you for the information. I have been doing Texas swapmeets since 1981 and Prewar Chickasha plus Petit Jean. Texas was always great. Was. The last years have yielded almost nothing. A waste of gas to drive to them. I will be going to Springfield. Thank you

 

I went to Pate this year and found a few things but not a lot. I went to Hershey last October and I assume because of rain it's turnout was down but I found several items. I haven't been to Chickasha or Petit-jean in hears but I'd like to go at least once again. I did go to Frog Follies last August and they have a decent swap meet and I found a few things but was limited on what I could buy because I had to haul it home under the seat of my 32 coupe.

 

The fairgrounds built a huge building that used up a lot of spaces and the club was scrambling to find replacement spots anywhere they could. Once the construction is done it should be better. At least they can use the ground around the building. The construction footprint was even larger than the building itself.

 

I have not hit it since 07? But I was really impressed. Our swaps around here usually lack early stuff. Usually a lot of Camaro crap and worn out racecar parts

 

You did well, indeed.

 

Save your gas on Chickasha. It's basically dead.

 

I purchased a 7 dollar root beer.

 

Me too! And I got a fair deal on a nice narrow Dana 44 rear axle. Hopefully it will work to replace the crapped out 44 that is currently in my '51 F1

 

I was there Friday and found several good deals, and the weather was pretty nice that day.
