Portland swap meet time again!!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**BAD4X4** · 03-31-2009, 09:47 AM

Hey guy just wanted to let you know I'll be in my same stalls this year. We are bringing a 66 ss chevelle and a 72 ss nova. Both big block cars. We are also bringing lots of parts and tires and wheels. Hope to see you guys out there. Thanx Dana

prostreetC-10 · 03-31-2009, 10:15 AM

I will be there Friday! It's my annual chance to see people selling used stuff for about 30% more than what it costs new. It's also fun to watch people on Sunday packing up 90% of what they brought on Friday....scratching their head as to why it didn't sell.

"This Holley carb sells for $400 new....I can't believe no on wanted it for $395.99! Sure it's 23 years old but it's in great shape!!!!!" LOL

**CMACDONALD1** · 03-31-2009, 10:41 AM

The portland swap meet is awsome this will be our 5th year in a row. Takes us about 20 hours to drive. ROAD TRIP !!!!!!

prostreetC-10 · 03-31-2009, 12:42 PM

It's okay now. Was awesome back in the '80's. The king of swap meets now is CRAIGSLIST!!!!

Twisted78SS · 03-31-2009, 12:47 PM

What stall will you be in? I am making to the track on Thursday afternoon, and the Expo on Friday.. Looking for Blazer goodies for mine and my sons.

Drew

prostreetC-10 · 03-31-2009, 05:09 PM

I'll just be walking around! ;o)

CG · 03-31-2009, 06:15 PM

I havent been since the 80s. I need to go down and pick up some parts and drop something off for Brad. Im dreading trying to park and trying to find you and another vendor.

I am actually looking forward to the drive down and back though.

stllookn · 03-31-2009, 06:36 PM

CG, You could drop off a set of the 6 lug smoothies at my place!

**BAD4X4** · 03-31-2009, 09:27 PM

Stalls 6046-6052 at the expo. I have the swap meet feaver, I have had it for 2 weeks!!!!

prostreetC-10 · 03-31-2009, 10:20 PM

I do agree with that!!! It's like the 2 weeks before deer hunting that I am not worth a SH*T.

X2 - that's funny - and at a lot of these events, unfortunately true.

**BAD4X4** · 04-01-2009, 01:55 AM

Also guys I'm on the hunt for a 67-68 camaro. I have cash!!! If you see me speed walking, I'm on a mission. Time to let the wife get what she wants.

**mr48chev** · 04-01-2009, 02:21 AM

My wife and I are intending to run down on Saturday morning. I 'm not hunting anything in particular this time so the stress level should be a bit lower for me.

I'm going to have to make a list of guys space numbers and see if I can get by some of them.

**BAD4X4** · 04-01-2009, 10:17 PM

All loaded up and ready. See guys up there!!!!!!!!!!

Sinisterspeed · 04-02-2009, 01:39 PM

I agree what stall numbers are you going to be in. Ill be there sat morning walking around with pop's. My 70 is about out of the paint shop. Ill be looking for some 67-72 goodies and he might find something for a 55-59 he has to have.. but nothing particular.

**BAD4X4** · 04-05-2009, 10:37 PM

Back from the the swap and dead ass tired and sun burned!!!! Nice to see everyone and I do have a few parts left.

Yes sir! My hip flexors, calfs, back, shoulders......all ruined!!! lol

I was the guy walking around with a wagon full of Holleys! I must say this was one of the best swap meet for me in years. Did really well. Man....that dude is big. Took us 6 hours to walk the whole thing. I can walk the high desert swap meet in 40 mins!!! lol

HeavyD · 04-06-2009, 01:04 AM

I write this entry from a hotel in the metropolis of Ritzville WA, returning from the swap. My opinions were that the first part we went to, at the racetrack, there were alot of good deals but still didn't find much for my 71. Bought some semi rough doors but really couldn't find what I needed. That being said, if you needed some early Camaro parts or a set of aluminum slots for a car, what a selection. Never seen so many slots in my life. Next day we checked out the swap meet at the expo, and saw lots of very high prices but some great deals on complete vehicles. 70 Ranchero GT 351C for $2500, 1969 Camaro under 10K, If I only had a way to get them home. Will return next year with a car traler for sure. On a positive note, got a quite nice chev tailgate for $350 and a swb box from Pickmup (Frank) for $1500 so I am well on my way to getting my lime project going. Hope everyone had a good time, time to pack away the shorts and get back to shoveling my toys out of the friggin snowbank back home.

**PICKMUP** · 04-06-2009, 01:21 PM

The Portland Swap Meet gets better for me every year...I stay home and take care of all the guys returning that didn't get what they wanted down there. It is like PICKMUPS mini-meet.
Thanks Dalton, nice talking to you guys and all of the other Canadians that stopped in this weekend. See you next year.

stllookn · 04-06-2009, 06:15 PM

Have a barbeque and brew and they will come...as will all the rest of us that don't want to drive to Portland...LOL!

I was coming back to the "wet side" from Eastern WA on Hwy 12 and saw someone towing a light green 69-72 on a trailer going east. I wondered if someone had picked up a truck at the Portland meet and was going home. I very good look...was that you?
