A good day at the swap meet..
Walking through the swap meet at an antiques festival. About 30 parts swappers vs 700 antique sellers. Look over and spot a 84 GMC grill, a couple broken/missing bars, but overall not bad, including turn lamps. Also a black, non-sticky steering wheel with a GMC horn button. $30 dollars later I was happy.
Found an 87? GMC grill but the man wanted more than $30 for it, cracks and all. I passed although I should have paid $30 for it. As we were about to leave, I walked over to 3 swappers that were on a little side drive. $20 later I had a spotless Mercury Marine cast aluminum valve cover for my 292! Best swap meet since I sold all my big blocks and 4 speeds back in the early 90's.

Re: A good day at the swap meet..
Oh, and a pair of long bed sides with rust holes around the wheel arch, $600. I passed. There's a much nicer bed for sale here, not that far from me., Actually my bed is nicer than that.

Re: A good day at the swap meet..
Good finds. I like those Mercruiser valve covers. I was happy to have found one on Craigslist a few years back, and the crew cab I bought last summer had one on it was well.

Re: A good day at the swap meet..
The Midland Antiques Festival had a car show and swap meet.
I live in the Armada area and have yet to find anything for my truck at the Armada Flea Market. Although I did pick up a couple wrenches for keeping handy in the barn.

Re: A good day at the swap meet..
We go to the Armada flea market once a month. I usually don’t find much but enjoy the hunt.
