2007 Ontario Swap Meets

voltson · #1 (**permalink**) 03-24-2007, 05:22 PM

Does anyone have any thoughts as to the best swap meets to attend in Southern Ontario this year? I usually get to Ancaster a couple of times and to Virgil - but wondering where else I should visit?

I was at Ancaster yesterday. I couldn't resist some 73-79 stuff.
Let's see...
Ancaster Rodmasters(yesterday) Road Runners comming up
Waterdown spring and Fall
Sterling in May
Barrie Spring and Fall
Bothwell

Plus some smaller ones. Waterdown and Sterling tend to me my favourites as Barrie has gone down hill over the years.
I'll try and post a complete list with dates later.

FTE has a member or two that are vendors there and also have their truck(s) entered in the show.
If I had money to be shopping for parts, I'd certainly try to "keep it in the family". Right Mr.Truckfarmingcanuk ?????

I was there too - but didn't get there until 11:45am, so you guys must have picked up all the 73-79 stuff before I had a chance!

Too bad it was cool and wet Sunday morning - probably scared many vendors and attendees away.

Well, Sean , good to hear that your making improvements to that lil ranger!

Ancaster cleared out quickly after lunch, most vendors were packing up by then.

Cold and wet and muddy makes for great deals!

I parked down a side road with my 2wd F100. I had mud passed the valve stems and went through puddles bigger than a ranger! Funny thing was as I was walking out, not one put two Jeeps came a short way down the same road and turned back! I guess they didn't want to get dirty! LOL
