1'st at Power Big Meet, Sweden - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

68 50th · 07-05-2008, 04:21 PM

I just came home after two days at the Power Big Meet http://www.bigmeet.com/ in Vasteras, Sweden.
I entered my 71 Cheyenne Super to the car and truck judging on Friday and today they revealed the results. Believe me, I was really surprised when they said I won 1'st place with my truck. There was a class for all pickups and I saw some really nice ones, the Cameo that won 2'nd for example.
1st and 2'nd pic is from when I was lining up for the judging.
3'rd pic is my truck with the price.
4'th pic is the Cameo from Norway that finished 2'nd.
5'th pic is just another pic of my truck.

Thats a sweet truck. I didnt realize there was soo many american classics over there. I have some co-workers in Eskilstuna Sweden. I dont know if I spelled that right?

Congratulations.It sure does deserve 1st place.Those custom wheels really set it off.

68 50th · 07-05-2008, 06:50 PM

1972CST: Yes you did spell Eskilstuna right

Hi Mats,

Great feeling right? Not expecting to win and then get first place!
I had that feeling to with my 3rd place.
That gives me little kick to try and get up to Västerås next year.

Great news mate Congrats on the win.

Thanks guys

Hope to see you there next year Sean.
I saw a lot of cars there from Germany and UK and a lot of other countries too.
The Long Distance price was won by an American guy who took his 58 Edsel there and sold it to a Swedish couple.
