I saw plenty.Our trucks were the most common ones there,as usual.what I saw were few people willing to pay what the good stuff is worth...or even a bit less.And,that`s what the buzz was all around.There`s always all brands there.It`s just that The off brands are cheaper and Ford and Dodge guys are finally looking back more now.They`re a bit slow compared to us and they ain`t as nice to look back at.

What kind of parts were you hoping to find?And,what day were tou there?I know an original rust free cab,long Fleetside,short Stepside,`67 fender,Suburban 3rd door,lift gate,tailgate,n.o.s. long bedsides,Suburban door,tach gauge face,a sweet restored bucket seat combo,and another nice unrestored combo left unsold.I saw a new take-off stepside fender,radio delete cowl cover ($20),rustfree doors,short floor short steps,Fleetside tailgate,`67 GMC grille,restored blazer frame,K/20,n.o.s. 71/72 grille bowtie,turn signal lenses,and many other parts bought.
