F-100 Supernationals in Pigeon Forge, TN

I was wondering if anybody is planning on going to this show, which is next month May 17-19.

It's always a fun time, with a pretty good turnout. I will take pictures and post them after the show.

Maybe one of you smart guys can look at my truck and tell me how to fix everything on it!

What's wrong with your truck? Me and a buddy will be there from Wed -thru Sunday; He's pretty sharp on the mechanical side if you need help; we're going as a swap meet vendors; bringing of 70's, 60's truck parts and 67-68 mustang stuff. Probably be bringing a 63 lwb for sale as well.
Hope to get rid of the extra parts.

I really hope to make it with my truck in 2014, as it would be the 50th year anniversary of mine. Would love to see the reaction to an F100 CrewCab there. It is a very long drive from California, so I would have to really make sure the truck can handle the drive.

Nothing really! It would be great to meet you guys though. You'll have to let me know how to identify your "booth."

The F100 Western Nationals Truck Show is held the 3rd week of June at Canyon RV Park (part of the Featherly Park complex), north of the 91 Freeway in Anaheim. The SoCal Chapter forum has info on this show.

The cut-off date is 1979, no cars are allowed, unlike the Pigeon Forge show. I attended the F100 SuperNationals 3 day show/swap meet in 2008, when it was held in Knoxville.

Here on the west coast, peeps "in the know" that are looking for parts at swap meets arrive before dawn, armed with flashlights. Most of the vendors are set-up, long before dawn.

Thursday at 7AM in Knoxville: Next to no one was walking around, most of the vendors were either not set up yet, or were standing around drinking coffee/BS'ing.

When I said "wrong" coast I meant the East or "rust" coast. I will actually be in SoCal the third week June so maybe I'll run into a few of you if I can make it to the show. I was born in Bellflower and lived in Anaheim until 1981 before my family moved to Southern Oregon. My Aunt still lives in Lakewood. Were doin' the Disneyland thing with the kids this summer. What are the exact dates of the show?

Yes, I know, that's why I posted the Western Nationals jazz.
