Every year gets bigger, fun for one or the whole family.

The camping is cheap the folks are friendly the Corn Roast and Dance are good fun and of course the best part of the show is all the great Ford and Mercury Trucks and Broncos.

Can we do a Poll Matt? Thanks

Cheers, Rick.

 

Not sure yet if I'm coming, it all depends when baby #4 arrives. If I will go, my dad will come too for ideas for his 51 F1.

 

I can't make it this year, I booked vacation stuff that I can't get out of.
I do need a mule to haul something back from Jeff if anyones interested, let me know.

Frank

 

Doesn't Jeff go past your house?

 

Yup, but there won't be anybody home........

 

Just have him put it in the mail box.

 

If anyone needs any more info let me know

 

I kinda figured there would be a bigger response to this question.

Not much action on this board though.

Rick.

 

Just another note to add: Classic Ford Truck Club< Haldimand Chapter is having a show and shine on Sun July 13/08. Open to all years, Ford and Mercury. This is there first. Alot of us from the club will be going. For more info check out there web site.

 

Finally got the truck done so I will be there. I was going to post to see when the show was being held and I found this, I will mark it on my calender.

 

He's going to add a Poll when he gets a chance.

Good to see folks are going to be coming out to the show.


Rick.

 

Poll up. I will be there...as usual.

-Matt

P.S. ...unless it snows.

 

Two things though, No Snow and you can see the $400 hard top Apache pop up travel trailer I bought yesterday.

I will get pictures of it on the site with your help once I pick it up, yes I forgot how to do it LOL.

Anyone else coming? I have a feeling this is going to be a great show this year.

BTW, Thanks for the Poll Matt.

Just for giggles the guys name I bought the trailer from is Matt too.


Cheers Rick, now off to the Painist oops sorry Dentist just a 3 month cleaning so I suppose I shouldn't complain so much.

 

Rick,
Was this the '77 that was in Kijiji for $1500? I was gonna contact the guy and check it out this weekend. Looked like a nice unit if it's the same one.

Frank

 

It's a nice little unit,well I say little. That's not exactly true this thing weights 2500 lbs and came with electric brakes, the guy I bought it from said the brakes never worked in the 10 years that they have owned it but he said he never had a problem stopping.

I will of course have a look at them and see if I can correct any problems with them. Mostly the tires look crusty so them and perhaps the rims will be changed
Crap a complete axle for this thing without brakes is $200 from Princess Auto and with brakes is only about $400 so worse comes to worse I'll install a new axle.

Cheers,Rick.
