A good day at the swap meet.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Walking through the swap meet at an antiques festival. About 30 parts swappers vs 700 antique sellers. Look over and spot a 84 GMC grill, a couple broken/missing bars, but overall not bad, including turn lamps. Also a black, non-sticky steering wheel with a GMC horn button. $30 dollars later I was happy.

Found an 87? GMC grill but the man wanted more than $30 for it, cracks and all. I passed although I should have paid $30 for it.

As we were about to leave, I walked over to 3 swappers that were on a little side drive. $20 later I had a spotless Mercury Marine cast aluminum valve cover for my 292!

Best swap meet since I sold all my big blocks and 4 speeds back in the early 90's.
