Not sure if I'm going just giving everyone a heads up. I may go down early Sat morn for a quick run through. Randy

Wrenchbender Ret · 04-29-2009, 04:03 PM

I'll be there. It's going to be muddy. That is my favorite one for buying. The Shriners is my favorite one for selling.

How big of a draw does the swap meet get?

teeitup · 04-29-2009, 09:20 PM

It draws quit a few vendors, its spread out so its hard to compare to the Woodlands/Worlds of Fun swap meet. Its always muddy there, I've been selling down there for 7 out of the 9 last years.

shortbed70 · 04-29-2009, 10:26 PM

I'll be there were leaving manhattan @12pm sat.

tim21391 · 04-29-2009, 10:50 PM

i would be there but im leaving for olando saturday at 2 am

chipflyer · 05-01-2009, 09:15 PM

I plan to go down early, hope to see some of you there.

Jeff

teeitup · 05-01-2009, 10:21 PM

Jeff, I'm going to try to be there by 7:00 and make a speed walk through, I'll watch for you. Randy

Uwe Blab · 05-01-2009, 10:53 PM

Anybody make it by the swap meet this evening? Curious to know how muddy the fairgrounds are. I'll assume 'very' given the amount of rain the past few days...um, I mean weeks.

teeitup · 05-02-2009, 12:45 AM

It will be a BIG mudpit, inside and outside. Guys will be getting stuck everywhere!!!

chipflyer · 05-02-2009, 06:50 PM

It was a big mud pit! I didn't run into anyone else, went through pretty quick and was out of there in under 2 hours. Picked up a 4x4 exhaust manifold for $15 and a brake vacuum booster that looks new with perfect cadd plating but supposedly leaks for $5. Lots of big vendors missing this year, it seems to get smaller and smaller every year.

Uwe Blab · 05-02-2009, 08:44 PM

I made it through in about an hour. I'm still pretty green to the whole truck build hobby, so I didn't know much what I was seeing and I wasn't looking for anything in particular so I was moving pretty fast. I left at 3:00 and it looked like the place was already clearing out, at least for the day.

I did talk to one person though selling a posi rear end that came off a '64 Chevy, shortbed stepside. It has a 4.11 gear ratio (according to seller). He was asking $100 for the whole setup (complete axle all the way to the drum brake housing - surface rust but nothing that seemed too bad). There were trailing arms that I believe were also part of the deal. I'm not sure the leaf springs near by were included.

Two questions:

1. How much needs to be included to make that a good deal?

2. Will it bolt right onto my '70 C-10 LWB?
