Can we make this sticky till it comes around? Who all is planning on going?

[Low87]

Wish I could! Maybe one year I can drive there....

[bagged81]

I will be there. I would like to meet some more classic owners. I am there every year, at least in PF cruising not necessarily at the show, but I will have to attend the show this year I guess.

PF is in my backyard.

Never been to them, have heard they are great! Do they also have a Truck Corral with vehicles for sale? What about a Swap Meet area? Exactly where in Pigeon Forge is the location for the Nats?

The All Chevy/GMC Truck Nats is fantastic. You will need to bring a big towel to wipe all the drool though. Every year I go, it makes me come back home and spend money. Chris says it don't seem to bother him. I think he's telling lies though.

From spring to fall, there is at least one vehicle show going on in PF every weekend. More than one a lot of times. On the same weekend as the Truck Nats, they have the big hot rod show going on up the road in Knoxville. There is so much stuff to do in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, you need to stay a week or so. It's a great place for a vacation. The only major drawback is the traffic. It really sucks trying to go anywhere. The way it's laid out, it is impossible to walk anywhere. But, even with all the traffic, it's still not too bad.

The All Chevy/GMC Truck Nats are held at the Governor's Palace. It's fairly easy to find once you are in Sevierville. Just look up on the hill behind the big nascar gocart track in Governor's Crossing. BTW, Sevierville is the city right before Pigeon Forge. It's on the same stretch of road.

I'm still undecided what to do. I might try and talk the wife into driving the car and me the truck. More on this later.

Add my name to the list i just got off the phone & the stepper is registered and i got my hotel room

I'll be looking for you guy's

[swervin ervin]

If I do take two vehicles, I'm not registering my truck. I don't feel like sitting with my truck at the show. Besides it's not show quality, yet.

Again, more on what will happen later.

SLACKER!!
Come on, come up with a better excuse than that... NO ONE ever sits by their truck there. You know that, we have tried to find them!!!! Heck I will sit with you. I will even bring you cold lemonade... Put it in the show!!!!! I will bring you a http://www.73-87.com sticker! Pay for the entry fee, come on what will it take.

Heck I will put the POS Jimmy in the show next to it with signs that say take a seat, check it out, fingerprints are welcome and leave the doors open!

[ToonMan]

There is an Awesome Chevy GMC truck show in Oregon in July if you're out this way!! Over 100 trucks there last year!!

[bagged81]

So who's going? I'll be there.

[gldevall]

Maybe next year.

[Captkaos]

I will be there. I will arrive sometime Friday night, but I will be in the Vette. The Jimmy needs a little more attention before it is ready to go.

[swervin ervin]

I'm not going to be able to make it this year. Bummer.

Chris,

Don't you know you can't bring a boat to a truck show


Some of the guy's from the 67-72 board are going to meet up @ the tim christian classic truck parts tent.

I just raed a post on the 67-72 board that said there's two truck show's on the same weekend so im not shure wich one the'll be meeting at

Any way im reg. in the hooters chevy/gmc nat's.

Maybe i'll see ya there

[Captkaos]

Bruce,
I know, but it is better than showing up in a Chrysler product at a GM event! <grin> Look for me there, I will have a shirt with my website logo printed on it. <grin>

[87 STEPPER]

Will be looking for ya are you going to both show's?

[Captkaos]

Yes, I will going to the "original" one in the morning on Saturday and the other one that afternoon. Sunday I will most likely be going to the Street Rod Show.

I have to ask.... Is the truck going to make it?

[87 STEPPER]

Yeah,

The truck will be there, but i had no idea there were two show's on the same weekend not shure why that is

Any way i'll see ya there.

[Captkaos]

There are 2 shows of the same kind on the same weekend because of a divorce. The "Other" show is by his ex.

Cool I will try and remember to PM my Cell to you if you want.

[bagged81]

There is also the Street Rod Nationals at Chilhowee Park in Knoxville. That is huge, but I am not sure if you guys are into streetrods. Its older stuff like pre '49. I have already started seeing several roll into town.

[Captkaos]

Jeff, that is where I will be Sunday. I have been the last 2 years. A buddy of mine is building a 30's Plymouth coupe and his dad shows his every year. Drives it up there too.
