Event Coverage Retired Fireman Managed Automotive Swap Meet 600 + Vendors March 20th - 22nd Duncan, Oklahoma

I was told 7 is when it opens tomorrow.

 

Thank you. I walked by your stuff

 

See you Sat. Unless you have sold out! I am looking for the left [ drivers ] end of a Fulton Sun Visor.

Ben

 

Cool! See you tomorrow Ben! Anything you need me to bring you? I’m headed back home tonight and will be back in the morning.

 

How is the swap meet going so far ?


Jim

 

Pretty good turnout. I have heard lots of folks comment how it is the biggest one they have seen here in Duncan. Will see how tomorrow goes.

 

Think not. Safe travels.

Ben

 

Safe travels to you as well.

 

Well, I would call that a pretty good swap meet this year. I may have to go again next year. Good seeing lots of friends as well as making several new friends too.

 

Good seeing you! Did not find the Fulton piece. Did find complete ones. Too rich for my "wants" though.

Ben

 

that was a great swap meet. More pre-war stuff than any other since Chickasha cratered. I talked to a lot of nice people and had a really good time. I will go back next year. The fireman in charge is a great guy, very helpful. I got some Model T parts I wanted. I didnt buy a lot of parts but I got this

 

Sweet! I saw that car said sold. Glad you got it!

This was all I bought. Only problem is…now I have to find another one like it…

 

trulyvintage, I really appreciate the advance notice so I could plan to be there. Other swap meets need to be advertised ahead of time.

 

You are welcome !


Jim

 

Well, good luck with THAT! Bet the seller has been saying the same for some time!

Ben

 

I got a Model T steering wheel for $10 and the plastic is perfect. there was a rag tied around it and I guessed it was the nut that holds the wheel on. yep its there. both parts of it. haha its incredible that someone saved both pieces so long ago. Got the woodruff key too. since they saved both parts, I will just have to repair it

 

Best news for me is that after counting up the money I collected at the swap meet, I have just enough to now buy the rebuild kit for my 312.

 

sorry I missed you. I talked to a little boy and his dad who has 11 Model Ts. He said he rode down with you, Are you going to the Tulsa swap meet?

 

The guy with 11 Model T’s that you talked to was Sid Drapal of Nostalgia Sid’s Dropped Axles. That was his grandson with him. Anyway, not sure if I’ll go to Tulsa swap meet or not. I must have been wandering around trying not to spend money. Sorry I missed you as well.

 

Thanks to everyone who attended !

Kevin gave a great interview to the
local news station - I talked with
him today - over 700 spaces were sold.

Not sure I have ever seen coverage of a swap meet on the news. Anyway, @manyolcars new 51 was shown a couple times in that news story.
