7gmc2 · 07-06-2004, 04:26 PM

i have been seeing a few posts about the indy show, but none about the "all truck nationals" in carlisle pa. in aug. is anybody going? is it worth going? i have never been but thought i might go to this since it is close to me.

I will be there all weekend. We will be at row B spaces 28-36. Stop by and say HI. I know there will be quite a few board members there, I think Paul(GMCPaul) will also be there, I think he is on row E. It is worth the trip. Lot of nice trucks and lots of parts.

Yep, GMCPauls will be there like always. We will be in E 103- E112. 1 row south of the food court. We get bigger and better every year.

Bill make sure you stop and give Paul a hard time. I won't be there this year, I'll miss visiting with ya!

pickupman · 07-06-2004, 05:41 PM

Les, You know I will have to go over and give him a hard time. Its the only time I can actually get to do it in person. LOL. Sorry you won't be able to make it.

There's a Taco bell nearby that I stopped at last time I was there.

LOL

I never got to the truck show yet. I always do the Spring Carlisle show and spend too much money.

Gordo · 07-09-2004, 02:51 PM

I'll be there for the duration. I usually pitch a tent at the "Western Village" camprounds about 4 miles from the fair grounds. A notable and nostalgic place to stop in the evening for a GOOD (as in excellant) burger and a beer would be the "Rod's Road House Cafe". I hope I'm not breaking any board rules mentioning these places.

I also want to see GMC Paul's new sign I hope he displays!

7gmc2 · 07-09-2004, 10:39 PM

hey that sounds good to me! i hope to meet alot of people and see alot of trucks! see ya there!

She's prepping her shopping list for her '67 rebuild. I'm gonna need the truck and trailer to bring home all the stuff she's ready to buy. She'll be busy all winter.
