The Spring Des Moines Swap Meet starts now 12:00 PM and runs through Sunday May 1. It is at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on the North Side of the Race Track. Saturday is the best day. I will be there with lots of wheels & misc - white GMC pickup/red topper...Tom restorit
I'm going to be in Iowa the weekend of the 22 for my daughter's graduation (Grinnell College). How come everything's on a weekend I'm not around? Last time I was out there,I went to Yogi's and they had just closed. Great state,tho. I've lived in Grinnell and Iowa City for about 6 years back in the 60's and 70's. Sure is different now.
Grinnell?! Crazy hippies, I tell ya! I lived in Iowa City for 7 years myself, of which I remember about 45 minutes. For the real crazy hippie action in Iowa though, you've got to go to Fairfield -- home of that wacky trancendental meditatin' Maharishi International U. Mike Native Hawkeye
I think I saw you there...weren't you the guy with all the wheels & misc, white GMC pickup with the red topper???
LOL jezzus Rock... least you could have made up something a little more exciting... ROFL PS... i always have my neighbor "sit" for our hounds when we go outta town, and he drops his little ankle biter over here when he is gone to, so i know how them deals work
Did you mean to say "old guy"? Going back this morning to load up. Bad day selling - good day buying. Picking up the 64 tuesday. The Falcon is off to Milwaukee. I bought a set of pipes off an 86 Mustang GT for our 92. Now I am thinking they may go on the Willys! Tom
how did those heads sell tom matt idea we just needed the room thought any more about those hub caps for the 64 I also have a reverb for the 64 its factory
Surprisingly, I brought them home with me today. Those parts are way too fancy for the 64. I need poverty caps but I will probably run it with no caps for a while. Any brake parts? Do you have a dual or single master cylinder on yours? Not much going on there today but I did manage to buy a 40 Ford Pickup 6 clyinder flathead motor with trans and two sets of SBC racing headers. So now the dilema for the 64 - 223 6 Cyl/3-speed - 302/C6 - 302EFI/AOD - 390/C6 - 460/C6...I have one of each...hmmm...Tom
Well, I do have a 3 car garage. Most of the parts I bought are for the Willys. I saw Joe there today - told him about the 292 but it turns over so not sure if he is interested...Tom
My Parts Car Had New Brakes On It When I Bought It.shoes Are Good Hardware Good. Don't Think The Cylinders Are Any Good But They May Be Cleaned Up. I Am Still Running The Single Mastercylinder On My 64 But The Last Time I Drove It It Was Giving Me Fits I Think It Is Going Bad. Havent Had It Out This Year Yet. I Do Have Some Good Heads For 390 And Real Good Cam But Is A Solid Lifter Cam. Have A Set Of Headers Out Of 64 Drag Car. I Am Told That 70 Torino Disc Brakes Fit Spindles And All Not Sure On The Year 70 -74 Need To Look In Your Interchange Book Check For Disc On Torinos. If You Use That Disc Brake Set Up I Would Run That Dual Mastercylinder.
