The best thing of all was the 1938 standard running boards badly needed with old rubber still on

HAd a great time and met some ne Hambers. This swap meet was a prime example of how hard it is starting to get to find good early ford parts that aint new. Cant wait till next year, this swap meet has gotten better and better
