San Diego members @ Big 3 Auto Parts Swapmeet - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

rwgregory · 02-15-2007, 04:36 AM

The yearly Big 3 Auto Parts Swap is coming up on Feb.23,24 & 25. This is billed as the biggest auto enthusiest swapmeet west of the Rockies. How many members of this forum would like to get together at a specified time at the swapmeet?? Say noon Saturday the 24th... It would be cool to be able to put names and faces together. If anyone is interested, post it here and lets see what kind of interest is generated. FYI: admission to the swapmeet is free, but they will ding you $10-12.00 to park. No skateboards, bicycles, scooters etc. allowed, meaning bring comfortable walking shoes... Location is Qualcom Stadium in Mission Valley.

I'll be on the west side north or the trolley bridge space WH60. Mostly just hanging out this year. Here's the Web site by the way.

rwgregory · 02-21-2007, 11:08 PM

OK group, here's the scoop: 68SHORTBOX,(Kirk) has been kind enough to let us meet at his selling stall. Let's meet up at high noon Saturday 2/24 at stall E-31. This is on the west side of the swapmeet, 3 or 4 rows from the seller's entrance road and north of the trolley tracks. Look for a '68 Chevy stakebed, maroon and silver in color. Hope to see you all there.

69lnghrn · 02-21-2007, 11:53 PM

e-31

rwgregory · 02-22-2007, 10:25 PM

Good news!!! Weather report for Saturday is clear and sunny!!! Whoo-Hooo!!!

SideStepper · 02-22-2007, 11:07 PM

I have attended for about the last 20 years, I plan to be there all weekend.
"Smitty" are you sellin any truck stuff that I shouldn't be without?
"RWGregory" & "68 Shortbox" getting all of us together on Saturday at 12 noon is a great idea. I plan on meeting up with you guys. I hope that others will try to make too!

SideStepper · 02-23-2007, 10:24 AM

ttt
This is a great event.
For all those who have never attended, I highly recommend going!

longhorn70gmc · 02-23-2007, 12:29 PM

Hello Fellas,
I am having problems in my college Algebra class. I called it off last night so I can hunt for a Tutor. I am going crazy now because I really love going to this event. I miss it. We don't have anything like that out here in Desert Ville. Enjoy yourselves.
Respectfully

**Smitty** · 02-23-2007, 08:31 PM

Sidestepper,
I was too lazy to do anything this year (cleaning) so I'm just going to park in the stall and roam around. Haven't done that in years. I'm under a lot of pressure around here to do some (cleaning) and God forbid tossing so should have stuff next year! Hope to see you there!
