    Nate,

    I had never been to a Truck only show, and it was really a treat. Even thou I took some shots of the trucks the trailer fairies pulled their rides in with, it was nice to be there with just One manufactures products.

    Yea, that Seagrave is just plain cool. Had to be a fire engine in a previous life... Would be a nice thing to add to my growing collection o' pickups. Gonna have to keep my eyes open for one that could be de-commissioned from fire and built into a standard pickup...hadn't really thought about that before.

    Seagrave Trucks

    I don't think that's a Meat Wagon , it has hose bibs here & there .

    The other one posted , could have been done up as a hose wagon .

    I've seen a few vintage two axle Big Rig " Yard Goats " re made into pickups after jettisoning the 5th wheel . nice but WAAYYY too big for my needs .

    I like that there were many just plain old trucks in the show , I don't mind doing an old truck up nice , it's just a shame that they always then seem to wind up as garage queens .

    I prefer a rig to have finish paint & so on , not primer as yes , it is a crime because primer causes rusting , always , no exceptions .

    Yup

    Yes actually I did. I had my wife and kids with me. I also took a bunch of pictures (although a great job has already been done posting). I have pics of interiors, even the best of show winner. If anyone is interested in seeing them I'll post'em. It was a sight to see all those beautiful trucks. I plan on having mine ready by next years show. Thanks for asking!

    Nate,
    You are correct there are hose bibs on that there truck. Could be a multi-task unit. To bad none of us have a book or info on what that company put out.

    rgmj00 post away

    I would like to see some interiors or whatever else you have. Since this show is on the opposite side of the continent from me I can only enjoy through the photos you all post. Thanks for sharing. Looks like a great place to be.

    Jason here are some interiors I took, I don't look inside to often. Or I do not have the camera when I'm out looking. There is one photo of the best GMC in the show.

    Thanks for posting those, but go ahead and show the other trucks there were so many that were just outstanding there. That is why I showed the different ones.
