Currently there is the COMPETITION DIESEL Drag event up in Steele on 16 May, Smokin in the Smokies event April 10-11-12th, and the custom car show at Wind Creek SP in May.

I am attending two out of those three, but Ill monitor this thread and may get to come .

I'd come, but already have that weekend booked.

Pacdaddy 03-28-2008 06:22 AM

I'm new to this site and new to the early sixties trucks (just got mine day before yesterday...) but you can count me IN.

oldkountryboy 04-01-2008 09:45 PM

pacdaddy how long have you lived in smiths ? i grew up in phenix city, graduated from central in 88

as for the gtg we are having it on may 3rd at wind creek park, we have the pavillion closest to the playground reserved, basically bring your own food and we are all gonna chip in a few bucks each to pay for the pavillion, it is 50 so if everyone chips in a few it will not be bad

here is a link to the info

OKB, where do you live now, I am in Millbrook (across the interstate from Prattville) I noticed you have an F250 SD, is it a 7.3 or a V-10. there are a couple of us 7.3 guys here in Millbrook/Prattville, We are going to try to make it up for the GTG, but the wives have not given the official OkeyDokey yet. according to your profile we are about the same age.

oldkountryboy 04-01-2008 10:50 PM

bdrummonds,

mine is a v10, i wanted a diesel but with it at 4 a gallon i am glad right now i dont have one
i completely understand the wifes blessing, that is why i am bringing my wife and the kids both that way i can stay all day and let the kids play and i dont get in trouble

we are down just outside ft rucker, almost as far south as you can go and not get in florida, only takes a few minutes to get across the state line from here

here is a pic of mine from last year, i am working on getting all the parts to put wheels brakes on a set of rockwells so i can run some 46" goodyears on her

OldKountryboy -- Been in Smiths about 2.5 years. Originally from the other side of the river. Grew up in Marion County / Buena Vista (near Cusseta). I graduated from Tri-County in '88.
Gonna do my best to make it down there on that weekend. Evidently, the new driving on my old rig has caused some parts to fail! LOL! Nothing big. The Dana 60 is leaking gear oil like no tomorrow. Should be a quick and easy fix though. Keep me in the loop.
