I was there in 2008, and as y'all can see, I don't live in KY.

The swap meet was dead as the dodo bird on Thursday at 7:30AM...light misty rain, very few peeps walking around, hardly any sellers open, but...

In SoCal, when dawn breaks, it's standing room only at any of these meets.

There were a few real hard to find NOS goodies, but what surprised me was...very few peeps seemed to know what parts fit their trucks.

I met two guys from TN who had some nice NOS stuff at their swap spaces, one was an NOS RED 3 spoke steering wheel for a 1964/70 F100/350.

Even though it was clearly marked as to what it fit, peeps kept asking, will that fit my truck?

There were a pair of NOS 1967/72 Stainless Western mirrors on the table...they sat there for two days, before some guy bought them...for 50 bucks, a roaring bargain.

btw: Don't bother looking for the steering wheel in 2009...I bought it.

I wooda bought the mirrors if no one else had bought them...cuz out here, these mirrors are impossible to find in any condition, and will bring between $150.00-$200.00.

NOS obsolete parts are getting harder to find every day...If you snooze, you lose!
