Vermont jamboree - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am pleased to say my truck made the 7 hour trip there and back with no trouble. It cruised well at 55-60 with the 3.73 gears.
The whole weekend was a blast. My truck was the lone GMC from our era, so I had to represent. There was a 72 Chevy and a 67 Chevy w/a late model bed (ugly), both for sale. There were a couple of blazers also.
I saw a 305 V-6 (the original motor my truck was built with) for the first time in a sweet '66 GMC K2500.

I will try to post pictures that I took with a digital camera soon.

Sorry I did not see your truck 409, did you have it in the gates?

How was the show? Was this your first Jamboree? Take any pics?

The show was great.
This was my second year, but the first time I drove my truck there. It was a blast having my truck inside the gates. My friend and I just lounged in chairs in the bed of the truck, watched the action, and talked about 4x4 trucks with everyone. A fair amount of people commented on my truck since it was one of the older ones there.

I will post the pics when I can.

Getting ready for the big show in Indy. 20-22 of September. Looks like I may be going by myself this year. There is the All Truck Nationals in KC that same weekend and would be a lot less headache. Indy has gotten so big, takes some of the fun away from it. Just have to wait and see. Most likely Indy!
