If any of you guys ever make it to southern calif you should go to the pomona swap meet. I went over the weekend you wouldnt believe how big it is we got there at 6am sunday morning and couldnt walk no more. and didnt see all the parts much less all the cars. Go on line and google pomona swap meet for dates. Any way there is i dont know many acres of cars/ parts/ showcars.About ten isles of vw alone venders of all vintage parts.The largest candy store in the world.I bought a radio for five bucks it looked like it would fit it might. But it said 49 olds on a tag he wanted 10 but when i asked about it he said ill take 5 couldnt pass it up. I bought new inside handles from truck stop they were there,and bumper gaurds there pretty nice and heavy any way Just wanted to share that with you all.
I Missed It ! Due to lack of funds I saw some nice trucks that didn't get sold , going home after the meet , they were Westbound so that means local .
On the other hand (OTOH) It'll be a long time before I make it out there, but any of yewz guyz make it out to SE Kansas, I'll grill you a breather and give ya a cold beer to wash it down with! Course, you could help me with my truck while you're at it!
That's A Deal ! Zig ; Right after I win the Lotto , I'll crank up my truck and hit the road , I'm interested in meeting everyone I've met on this board over the years.... BTW : if you're West of The Mississippi , you owe it to yourself to come to the Pomona Swap meet at least once ~ it's the West Cost's BIGGEST swap meet , and you really have no idea until you've been.... I've been going since it started back in the early 1970's .
It is a deal... Zig - I'll be in Kansas in May, and if I understood what a grilled breather might be I'll stop by - and help.
Mel You're in for a real American treat ! To properly clean out the old sludged up Road Draft Tube without filling it up with ruinous bead blast residue , we like to fire up the barby and cook our breathers (Road DraftTubes) until they're cherry red and all the old oil sludge & spooge dries up and crumbles out easily . Much beer is drunk amid laughter and gaity
I Went My Self I Only Live About 15 Minutes From There. Iam Not To Far From You Nate . Would Like To Meet You Some Day. Robert
Cool, Mel! All the way from bloody old England, eh? That would be a treat to have you here! As far as breather caps, Andy promised us a cook book on grilling AD parts~ I'm still waiting, but I'd probably use his recipe! 307 W. 6th Street Pittsburg, KS
Sounds Good To Me Robert ; I always have way too much work scheluled so don't be shy about keeping on me , one of these days (might be sooner than yout think) I'll cruise on by and say hello , have a gander @ your Truckita .
