Rust NEVER Sleeps 2009

The 7th Annual 1960 - 1966 Cheverolet / GMC truck, van, panel, Suburban get together, pot luck barbeque and swap meet.
When: June 6th D-Day 2009 11:00 am until sun down


Where: Lagoon Valley Regional Park, Vacaville Ca
Just South of I-80 take the Pena Adobe exit & follow the signs

This is a family friendly event bring all the kids - bring the neighbor's kids!!
I'll be bringing my famous barbeque grill and enough mesquite to cook half of Texas so just bring your own meat and one side dish to share.

There is a big pond, hiking & biking trails, a dog mall there's even an 18 "hole" frisbee golf course if you're so inclined!

park admission is $3.00 per vehicle and if you want to enter in the truck show for a chance to win trophies in 4 catagories the entry fee is still a low, low, $15.00.






Hey guys lets see how many folks we get to attend this year. Last year we only had 2 trucks. (my truck was still growing cob webs in the driveway) John a.k.a. ChiefRocka came from SJ in his sweet little '63 old school "banger", Big-wave Dave came crusin' in from Modesto with his newest addition: a big ol' orange '63 with a '61 grill. My buddy Dennis came by in his little hot rod Chevy (disguised as a Ford roadster) And "Frisco Johnny" showed up with his boy to support the event even though his truck was still in pieces.




I know we can do this - we've had up to 22 entries in years past - so let's beat the bushes and gather up the support! If you know somebody with a 60-66 Chevy truck in your area, and I know you do, get him or her to come!



I'm calling on all the old schoolers and the newbies from Santa Rosa to Grass Valley from Modesto to San Jose and everywhere in between Come on down and let's show off our projects and talk some smack!!!

I don't care if your rig is still held together with duct tape & bailin' wire (like mine) - there's a prize for that too.




Bring your spare parts and your back issues of Custom Classic Truck magazine make a few bucks find a good deal, meet some new people and have a burger or a dog. I guarantee you you'll want to come back next year.

Vacaville huh? Looks like I may be takin a little road trip.

[Chevy Fleetside]

It is not the amount of distance traveled. Some say it is too far for them. I used to love to drive my truck to Tahoe for the Truck Show up there but it is not happening anymore. I used to see people checking out my truck when I was driving down the freeway or even at a stop sign giving me the the thumbs up. I have 3 1/2 weeks to get my truck going.

Mine doesn't run but I'll bring it anyway!
Tony from Norcal

[Hilandr451]

Right ON!

lets do it!! Tony - that's a badass stance on that 64 - I hope you bring it!

Joemamma (cool tag by the way) Maybe you can hook up with another buddy of mine, Dave (Chevyboy62), when you roll through Modesto. I know it's a long haul, but we'd love to have ya!

Stepside, yeah I get the looks at the lights too now that I "painted" my truck - not too many thumbs-up's it's mostly a different finger.

[ChiefRocka]

Sweet man.....I should be there !!

[Hilandr451]

How 'bout a sticky for a fellow moderator?

[ChiefRocka]

You got it !!! Is there a prize for that too ??

I am soooo proud of you !!!

[Chevy Fleetside]

If anyone wants to come help I won't turn you away..

[Hilandr451]

I just got word that this guy's comin' to the meet ...

[Hilandr451]

I got flyers now if anybody want's 'em. Just send me an e-mail.

Print 'em up and hand 'em out to local folks you might know with a 60-66 Chevy truck or put 'em on the counter at your local parts store, or stick 'em on the windshield of any 60-66 Chevy truck you might see while you're cruisin around.

...I don't know.. your throat sounded a little scratchy there on that last post. You might be coming down with something. You know it's best to stay home if your feeling punky. Drink lots of fluids, relax at a beautiful park surrounded by old Chevys, barbeque and beer... beer qualifies as a fluid doesn't it?

At least send me an e-mail so I can get some flyers in your hands! I'm sure you know other 60-66 Chevy Truck owners that might be interested in cruisin' down to Vacaville.

Don't temped me.. I will do it.

Oh yeah I acually bought some color today. Now I am going to spray something to see which one I acually wan't. I don't think I am going to go with the Red I got seeing it has too much Brown in it.

[Hilandr451]

"Does it matter what it looks like?"

Heck no! that's why I named it "Rust NEVER Sleeps" it's also why I created a catagory for the most rust! I put this thing together originally to do 3 things:
1 most imortantly, to get on-line buddies and their families to meet face to face to hang out over some good eats and swap stories and share tips.

2 To build networks for local people to find support with their projects even if they don't have computers.

3. To provide a venue where 60-66 Chevy trucks could be grouped together in a show regardless of their state of completion, because let's face it;
a. our trucks aren't very well represented in main stream car & truck shows.
b. while it's absolutely *****en to see all the hard work pay off in a tricked out clean restoration or customization of a 60-66 Chevy truck, but sometimes the rust, the faded paint, dings & scratches are what gives charactor to some people's rigs and we feel that's ok too.

Testify brother! Can I get an amen?

[Hilandr451]

My brothers, can I get you to step up to the altar and recieve a .pdf flyer so you can go forth an spread the word? We need to bring in the people who might not otherwise know of the flock, gather them together in one place so that we might all fellowship around the barbeque and revel in the glory that is to be a 60-66 Chevy Truck owner! The revival of the 60-66 Chevy truck is at hand!

Send me an e-mail requesting a flyer and I will equip you with the tools to carry out this mission!

hilandr451@earthlink.net

Time is of the essence, because as you all know.....Rust NEVER Sleeps!
