Well...the maiden voyage of my Hugger Orange '65 swb/Fleetside will be in a couple of weeks. I am taking it to Daytona for the Turkey Rod Run. I bought it there one year ago. I am having the hood and bed painted right now. Is anyone else planning on going?

ill be there no truck this year

I'll be there empty handed as well. My tranny isn't shifting to well. Walked around so much last year that my feet hurt. Lots of ground and lots of stuff to look at. And yes I will get me some more fried Oreo's. he he he

Thanks for sharing the pictures. I've never seen such a wide variety of different styles at the same event. I particularly like the 59 Ranchero and the F1 with mags.

how did you miss my suburan,i had a great time the weather worked out great

sixbangr · 11-28-2010, 07:18 PM

thanks for the pictures. A Rambler wagon I painted and sold is in one of them.

fleetsidelarry · 11-28-2010, 09:31 PM

was there next to hd74, I drove the '48 coupe down (the '66's bed is off right now). this is one of those swap meets where you can "shop 'til you drop", by Saturday night I couldn't move

xratt · 11-28-2010, 10:32 PM

I made it. Had a great time, as always. I drove the '66 C10 down. But parked in the parking lot at the speedway Saturday. Walked around there all day. Saw most of the swap meet area. Spent all day looking for a chain steering wheel, with no luck of course. Then saw maybe half the show cars, but it was late and people started leaving. So we headed to the Publix parking lot on A1A. Oh man, that place was packed. Like crazy packed. We drove around for ever looking for a parking spot. Took 30 minutes just to drive though there looking for a spot. Of course had to park pretty far away and walk up there. I have never seen so many blown drag cars in one place in my life. I think there was more then gator nationals. Crazy cars. REALLY liked the '64-'66 Suburban (not sure the year) with the twin turbo set up, sitting on huge black wheels and air ride. The owner was pretty blitzed, so it was hard to get any real information out of him, if that was really his truck. But over all not a lot of 60-66 C10's. The ones i did see were nice. Can't wait till Spring Fling to do it all again.

Mad Rods · 11-28-2010, 11:55 PM

First time I see a c10 with those wheels (KMC Slides) any more pics of that truck?

Of all the pics I took. The suburban came out the worst. It was dark and I never even got one of the body. Those really really sweet wheels. Butway too small a tire for me. I drive my truck everyday. They don't look real road friendly.

i went down there as well. barely made it back. my alternator decided to quit on me. that suburban was one of my favorites. although i would have gone with some different wheels.
