Are any of you going, or have any of you gone in the past couple of years?
I am wondering what truck parts companys might be there.
I am hoping to get my homework done before I go so I can get some stiuff for my 65 & 60.....

I'll be attending this year for the first time in about 5 years. I'm not sure what vendors will be there, but its huge! You got family here or something? Seems like a long way to travel for a swap meet.

Hey, when is the swapmeet? I've tried for two years to go, but this year nothings getting in the way! I think its in April. We will be looking for '61 parts.

It is always the first weekend in April. This year it is April 4-6.

I was unaware, but now that I am aware I just might go. WHen looking for the info I found this page:
http://www.portlandswapmeet.com/Information.htm

And I also found this one. THe link says 2006 but the page itself says 2008. Any confirmation on that? There really are two competing swapmeets at walking distance from each other on same weekend?

kd rodworks-----here is the car i am taking to try to sell in portland, I am hoping that I sell it ! then I can buy a bunch of stuff for my trucks!

The 2 meets are interconnected, and there is bus service between them.
when I worked for golden state pickup parts in the 90's, they always had a booth at portland, and there were always other competeing vendors, golden state is not around anymore, so I am hoping some of the others are.

I will be there. I have a spot along the river at the track. I hope to have my 1961 Chev short bed there. Green with a rough black primer box. I hope to find a rear bumper and brackets. Would like to find a better short fleetside box. The right quarter on mine is very rough.

rss396 · 04-05-2008, 08:40 AM

Did anyone go to the Portland swap meet today? Going up in the morning at 4 a.m. I heard it is a big one this year. Loaded (truck and trailer) and ready to go.
