Decatur Swap Meet Feb 25-27 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67_SS396 · 02-24-2005, 01:51 AM

To say that it's worth the trip is an understatment. If you can't find what you need here, you don't need it.

Our club has a total of ten spots. Come say hi if you get a chance.

Look for my blazer or a '92 Ford next to a 38' flatbed with lots of parts. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get all of our spots together this year, but we're close. If you have a 2way radio, holler at us on Channel 5. Just ask for SBC (Southern Bowties Club).

Been there every year since 86 if I remember correctly. I'll be the hillbilly walking around with a goofy look on my face.

well, tx that really doesn't single you out... it's a swap meet... and we're in texas....

Smokie55 · 02-24-2005, 09:51 AM

I have been for several years in a row now. Andif your looking for stuff you don't or can't normally find at the Ballpark Swap meet. it will be in Decatur. most of the time you can find some good deals. I got a sweet narrow 9" rearend housing for 40 dollars last time.

Only thing that can be a problem is if it rains while your there. The lower grounds down by the creek literally turn into a sippy-hole.

Me and my buddys have about 6 spaces out there this year. Look for some drunk rednecks grilling out.

ksamps01 · 02-24-2005, 12:01 PM

I am probably just having a brain cramp but I can't find directions on the web site. Where is this at?

Tx Firefighter · 02-24-2005, 12:36 PM

It's at the rodeo grounds right on the south edge of town on HWY 51.

A couple of miles south of Wal-Mart.

72swb4me · 02-25-2005, 05:58 PM

Does anyone know if there will be any 72 swb for sale out there this weekend?

Don't know for sure about 72's, but there's always something for sale so it's worth the trip.

BubbaGreen · 02-25-2005, 08:05 PM

krazy_texan · 02-26-2005, 01:32 AM

it has been my experience and others have told me that every year at this meet it is either freezing butt cold or really really muddy so i am bringing my rubber boots just incase

Tx Firefighter · 02-26-2005, 11:11 AM

You guys may as well stay home. I went yesterday and scored all the good deals.

ROBBY WHITE · 02-26-2005, 08:09 PM

Well I Waited Till Sat Looked Like Lots Of Good Stuff, But Just About The Time I Started Finding Stuff It Started To Rain And Didnt Quit. Krazy Texan Was Right Rain And Cold.

matt67350 · 02-26-2005, 08:29 PM

Will anyone still be out there on sunday?

SCOTI · 02-27-2005, 01:16 AM

I picked up a decent set of buckets & made it out just before the rains. The only bad part of the day? I spent some 'quality' time w/the city of Carroltons finest

on my way to the meet.

I even bumped into a few board members too!

RED67 · 02-27-2005, 11:00 AM

browndawg71 · 02-27-2005, 11:13 AM

krazy_texan · 02-27-2005, 10:42 PM

BubbaGreen · 03-02-2005, 10:17 AM

The next big texas swap meet:
33rd annual Pate Swap Meet will be held on the paved surface outside the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, on April 28 through May 1, 2005.

Tx Firefighter · 03-03-2005, 07:58 AM

There were several 72 shorties there. Every swap meet I've ever been to has numerous short bed trucks for sale. Everything from rolling shells to restored drivers. They're not rare.
