    I bought a set of 55 Pontiac station wagon tail lights. saw a 28-29 tudor sedan with all the new floor and a Brookville frame for $6500. Thought that was a deal. Body looked good. Hope somebody bought it. Still finding sand in the wrong places. Lots of A sheet metal floating around. Saw a fair 28-29 Sport coupe are cabrolet body along with some T stuff.

    This thing is huge, glad I went yesterday and got my sunburn. Little colder today. How about those dust sandwiches yesterday I know I had all I could eat.

    Got a great deal on a grill and gravelpan for my truck and picked up some repop inner fenders for a great price. Worth the trip!

    Of course not Budro. We sold the heck out of insulation and blankets, and I sold quite a few car parts. Unloaded the extra 4 spd Saginaw I had and the extra 9" diff that was a little weak a**** lots of other odds and ends. May have the Riviera sold. Got a call last night from a guy that wants it real bad. I'll know in a while. Only spent about $70 yesterday so I'm money ahead still. All I can say is....You missed another great swap meet you poor working stiff!

    Sold some parts and spent all the money on other parts before I left. Trying to keep the economy moving.
    Damn I think my eyeballs got sandblasted.
    Still a lot of fun.

    I bought a 41 plymouth p.u. cab with a clean texas ***le,zero rust in the cab and it had been an old hotrod from Elpaso. It had suicide doors. Sold a few parts and bought a few. I slept outside thursday night and enjoyed the cool air. bought an after market A crossmemeber for $15.00 and a 62 T-bird fe 3x2 intake with carbs. Sold it immediately for a small profit. I left friday afternoon and missed most everyone. I took the plymouth cab to the Hoedown and sold it in 10 minutes after I got there. decator is my favorite swapmeet. Weather was great. I was told that they sold every space.

    Went yesterday, got there way early and it was COLD!! the wind and dust was killer.. Some great buys out there, but nothing that I needed right now.

    The one 2 carb intake for a straight 8 buick that was for sale had a BAD repair and the guy still wanted $200 for it.. hell no.

    Lot's of vendors with decent parts and overall decent prices.. I loved the partially restored '39? LaSalle coupe.. took quite a few pictures of that one.

    I didn't get a picture of the 41 but was a cool old custom. I noticed it had the beginnigs of a carson style top also. that would make a nice taildragger. Are you trading the 27 for it? Surprise your wife. Forgiveness comes quicker than permission. Good talking with you. TP

    Anybody know who owns this truck?

    I have a buddy who was looking for the owner but could not find him.

    Was it for sale?
