<---been going there for the past 5 years..

It is awesome..

It's awesome, always a lot of parts for our era of trucks. Going there myself to get some stuff from the Truck Shop. They always have a big area there. Also an amazing amount of parts, engines, full vehicles done and not done.....the list goes on.

Portland has been billed the biggest for a lot of years.....I had a guy from the Netherlands come by to look at a 35 buick that I had for sale when he was in town for it.....

cleatussnow · 04-01-2004, 10:39 AM

About 8 years ago it used to be a lot bigger... it was at the "fair grounds" as well as around the track at PIR... even though it is only 1/2 the size of what it used to be I will be there... This is year 11 for me.

This year there is another swap meet going on at the same time as the one at the expo. It is located at P.I.R. around the track but it has no connection with the portland swap meet, that means you pay for entry at both places seperate....Kevin

kevin from oc · 04-01-2004, 12:34 PM

By the way this is my 16th year and my favorite swap meet of the year...I am so pumped I am having trouble focusing on work.....Kevin

gr8scott51 · 04-01-2004, 01:13 PM

Me, too. Driving down tonight, taking tomorrow off.

cleatussnow · 04-01-2004, 10:05 PM

Hey Kev from the OC...

Do you have any more info on the one at PIR?!?

Thanks,

Cleatus

cleatussnow · 04-02-2004, 10:35 AM

Does anyone know about the show at PIR?!?

68plus4sub · 04-02-2004, 09:55 PM

Sorry, I'm right here and didn't know about the thing at PIR. I usually park there, so I guess I won't be parking there this year!!! Good luck to everyone looking for parts this weekend, I'll probably walk right past about 10 people from this board and not even know it!!
