We've got a member in the 48-56 group in Ga, just finished a frame off restoration of a 56 F250, did a really nice job. But he also has a panel and now he is starting on restoring a 74 maverick, so the 56 is up for sale for a VERY reasonable price.
1956 FORD F250

 

Not bad at all.

 

I agree; miss the way it was a few years back; especially when they host a specific Ford era ride; like Falcon's , Bronco etc. Having it called F100 show and placing any type of Ford in the ranks is off balance to me. But I've support the show for the past 14 plus years; either as a swap vendor or spectator / participate . Will continue as long as the good Lord let's me.....

 

I just went for one day last year, but it seemed that they put a lot less emphasis on the cars than in previous years. I was under the impression that they were trying to bring it back to a strictly truck show.

 

I loved it when it was Ford trucks only. I didn't mind when other vehicles showed up. Never liked Knoxville. I wished that they at least would corral off all the non trucks in their own area. And while I won't mind the move to Lebanon, if its an all Ford show, just call it that. I just hope an all Ford truck show will make a comeback. I'm really trying to get to the Townsend show. That show has the ability to get that done. And its in what would be a good time of the year.

 

I was at the Townsend show for the first couple of years and really enjoyed it, but the engine in my truck gave out the week before in 2013 and last year by the time I could make a commitment, there were no rooms left. I haven't seen the dates for this years show, but if it's the same as last years it will be the same weekend as Truckfest, the 1948-1956 FTE Gathering that I am hosting in Tennessee this year.

 

The True Blue website is still showing last years information. If its around the same weekend, I have to work. So far just about every show I've found is on a weekend I'm scheduled to work.

 

We had done our 'truckfest' the weekend before it in KY, then last year it was in June in Ohio. I offered to do this years here in TN, and everybody wanted to go back to a Sept. date. We are having it at Fall Creek Falls and that was the only weekend I could get enough cabins and lodge rooms reserved.

 

Fall Creek Falls is a great park. I've only camped there. Where's a good show area at?

 

They have change the date for the Townsend show it is Sept. 3-5. I booked my room at last years show.

 

Thanks for the info, when I checked their website, the Tally-Ho said they were full, so I called and asked if they had a waiting list for the truck show, I was informed that they actually had rooms they were still holding for the show.

 

I just hope it's not raining in Lebanon at the f100 show. That parking area can get nasty.

 

As it looks for this year show; I can only attend on Friday; but will enjoy it and hope my wife will attend; building her 65 as a frame off and need some better parts than what I have on hand..

 

Well, less than 3 weeks away for the 'Big Show'. I was trying to get 3 trucks ready to bring to the swap meet area, but will only get one, a 1956 F100 Club Cab and a bunch of Flathead parts there.

 

I'm planning on going if my carpet comes gets here in time to install it.
