Re: swap meets
The swap meet April 7th is at Sauget Illinois, the Grizzly's baseball field. It is usually a good meet, great location. Altamont, cant really say much about, went once. There is one at Gateway Dragstrip the end of April, really good meet. Hope this helps. Thanks, Fred.

Re: swap meets
always bring lotsa cash money// if u see somthing that is cool buy it right away as there is a 98% chance that if u go back later it will not b there
a good place to find swap meets is hemmings auto news// u can always googel to try and find local ones

Re: swap meets
Be prepared to carry back to your vehicle and to haul back home. I've heard guys say,"I'd buy that but we drove his wife's mini" Really...You'd admit that? Better off sayin' nothing,dude,cuz you're lame either way Hand trucks,wagons,back packs,whatever are all handy to at least have in your vehicle. I'm not into dragging something around all day,but if I see something big or gather too much to carry I can get it. I think sausages are 6 bucks

Re: swap meets
That is so true. We always try to pull the trigger as soon as we find something. I tell my guys, " I aint here to look, I am here to buy."

Re: swap meets
I'm looking for a good hood and grille for a 69-70. Has anyone been to the altamont swap and what do think my chances are of finding those items?
