Hey KB I am all over this one for ya. Didn't get to go last year but there is an early saturday set up time. I Am gonna do some reconacense on this swap meet. I will get back to you saturday afternoon OK.

 

Normally the belle-Clair ones are pretty good last one there I watched a Man-A-Fre sbc intake with linkage go for 800$ but normally have some good stuff and alot of oval/dirt track guys bring there **** out.I'll be there nice and early sunday and probably stay till around 12-1.Gonna be checking on that saturday report to recon is always good.

 

Keep us posted on this one. Some day I'll get back there for one of these at Belle-Claire.......I was born & raised in Belleville but been out on the left coast since I was 13 years old.

 

If you've been to the Frog Follies, Its a little smaller than the used parts section. A lot of newer dirt track and muscle car stuff, but still not bad. I'm gonna try to go, but I'm only an hour and a half away. Only $3 to get in, goes till 1:30.

 

smallish indoor area,the outside area is bigger when the weather's nice. i usually buy something, but i buy lots of dumb ****...

we'll have the hamb spot at riverport this year, save your gas money for that one.

Hi ;
I got the last inside spot, they still have some outside left, pm me and i'll give you the contact number..

In case anyone needed more info. (edited to reflect the lack of indoor space)

Hey, did anyone come home with anything worth talking about from the swap meet? I went for a couple of hours, didnt buy anything though. I did however find a source for ***les from a guy with a great price! I also got to meet "kb cookout" and his wife. Very cool people to talk with!!! Look him up if you need anything!!!

 

I went, got there at 8:10 and the place was packed. Ran into
King Ch***is but didnt see anybody else I knew. I didnt get anything,
saw a few things I liked but nothing I had to have. I need a muncie but not for $750. The 409 in the back of the truck was nice too I think he wanted 4200 for it

 

Nice to see you again Russco. I also didnt find anything that I couldnt live with out (unlike last swap meet there). I just got little things and some motorcycle shocks for my kids AA/FA gocart project.

 

I picked up 1 cal-custom SBF finned valve cover for 2 bucks. haha. Thats all I got. They truck with the 348 was really nice lookin.

Had a good time there. We brought LilDeuce along with us. Got to see good ol Roy Wirth and met KB cookout.

Now Effingham, is that Altomont? hahahahahahahahahahaha

 

Nick you ****! ha ha

Well I got a 1/4 craftsman ratchet, some valve cover hold downs, a good burger from Hardee's and ALOT of **** from Nick32Vic and his Dad!!!!!!! Nice to meet ya KB cookout!

 

Heres a couple pics of that truck and 409 in the back

 

Man, i love that truck. Now that 409, is that a 350 or a 409? hahahahahahahaha. Kevin, your funny.

 

I thought the dude said it was a 348? Am I wrong? I loved the throttle body setup he had on that though! Pretty freakin sweet.
Yeah and 15 grand for that truck, not bad!

Oh Nick when you say that's your name.....does that mean its Jim then? Retard.........

 

Hey,
I've known the guy who had the truck with the 348 and 409 for about six years now. Hes a decent guy to talk with, kind of a gold chainer honestly. Yet, hes got some neat cars with both 348s and 409s. I think his yellow 32 roadster has a 409 now, an early 60s impala with a 409 and used to have a wagon. Anyway, the guys name is Ralph Dehne from Red Bud, Illinois if anyone is needing some parts for those motors.

 

is he the egg man? there's a guy north of red bud, has an egg business and some 409s...

 

I dont know of the egg man. This guy own the school bus service in town.

 

Oh I know that car! That 32 isnt a bad looking car. It could use some bias tires. I saw this really hot girl driving that car around at the mid-america nationals last may. I guess it was his daughter or something. I need to meet her....ya know, just to get in good with the old man. hahaha

 

Maybe we'll have to look her up this year eh nicky?
