One week to the Portland Swapmeet!!

[Coley]

....just wondering if anyone has any plans to attend the Portland Swap meet next week?
I believe it 'unofficially' opens to Vendors next wednesday...although a lot of guys start to drift through on that day looking for early bargains. Then on thursday it opens up full force for three days.
I'm not going this year due to current condition recently of the Canadian dollar and some time/commitment constraints but I will be there in spirit....lol.
Typically, in the past, a buddy of mine and me would head down and combine a great road trip (about 5 hours from here) with a full soak automotive/parts hunt weekend.
We both found a lot of great chevy stuff in the past but everyone's experience is always different.
Remember there are (2) close proximity locations...the Expo site (slightly nicer, cleaner area) and the P.I.R (raceway) site...bit more of free for all. That said, I think the P.I.R is probably the better place for finding something hidden that is a really great bargain...for the very reason of its 'free for all' factor. There is a serious amount of stuff there.
There are some dedicated truck parts vendors...but I simply check out their stuff....they are definitely for turning a profit and you are unlikely to find a swap meet bargain with them. We tend to find our bargains....and a lot of them....rolling around in the non-descript booths and vendors.
For those of you that are going....get on your walking shoes or runners....because it will take all of 3 days to do it. Don't hesitate when you find something or you will never find it again...or it will be sold if you come back the next day....trust your instincts!!...lol
All Good
