Anybody attend this event? I'll be there Thursday, will be looking for new bedsides, tailgate for my '53....are there vendors who have new parts, and not just take orders? How is the swapmeet?

swap meet is ok, It seems to be geared alot towards the 60-70s models, but there are a few guys whom drag a large trailer from down south, you might be lucky enough to find those parts original in good shape an steer away from the aftermarket. Just be sure to take water and an umbrella with you. It either pours or is hot as hell! And sinceyour from Wheeling hit me up, Im building a 50 gmc....and a few others

I always set up there (B17-19),but pretty much 67-72 stuff. There are all year parts. The event is Friday-Sunday. I always set up on Thursday. You might find someone with parts out already.

I'll be in the area Thursday, do people sell stuff then? If I have to wait until Friday, I'll have to get a place to stay Thursday night? Can you get in on Thursday to buy? Any experience with this?
