So not so drastically different after all. At least from California or maybe Hawaii. Thank you.

 

Yea sorry about that, that's my truck over in the corner lot, I'm at the green f350 roll back in the swap meet area

 

That's a nice truck Kevin. Is it the one I saw fender skirts on at one time.
And I love the color of 52F3's blue one that is so sharp and a nice break
from all the red ones.
Not that your red one aint nice Kevin. It's just there are so many red or
black ones out there.

 

I'll stop by tomorrow.

 

For all of our Canadian FTEers, someone made it down.

 

Hopin to be there next year
Haven't been since y2k
Would love to drag the cabover out there in project form next spring but didn't see a project class listed on the web. Does anybody drag out their projects to share or is that bad form?

Lots of what I would call, projects. I usually find them more interesting than the spit polished, highly modified trucks with broken springs and or flat tires.
I do like the cab overs. I spent as much time yesterday looking at a project cabover in the for sale lot as I did any other single truck.

 

John just got off work. Soon as I can get Mama out of bed Im heading that way. I will have my Blue FTE Lanyard on my neck. I will PM you my cell. How about we try to meet at Mid 50's both at 2pm EST. if I dont get tied up in traffic or anything. You will further know its me because I will be looking at either radiators or fuel tanks..

 

Kevin, John & Donald I was at Mid 50s around 2 but didn't see any of you guys. I had my FTE T-shirt and my Old Guys Rule ball cap on with a camera around my neck. While at Mid 50s I did have some outer cab corners dropped shipped (no tax or shipping).
Went out and talked to 52F3 for a while. I thought his frame & flat bed had bed liner sprayed on them but he said it's just paint over the pitted metal. He said he hadn't seen anyone either.
I finally got tired of fighting the rain and went back to the hotel. I'm shoving off early in the morning so I guess all I can say is I tried. Maybe another time.
I can't get my pictures to post from my camera to my IPAD so everyone else will have to wait till I get home to see them. I'll post them Sunday or Monday. Hope I don't have to drive the whole way home in the rain like I did coming.

 

I got there about noon, after making it about halfway through the swap meet area we got caught in a downpour and took cover under somebody's popup until the rain let up. That's when we headed for the indoor center and of course got caught in another downpour on the way. Anyhow, we walked around inside for a while and wound up at the midfifty/classic haulers area. We were there for about an hour and saw nobody, so we headed out, covered the rest of the swap meet area and checked out the trucks. By 2pm my knee was about done for the day so we headed home.

 

Joe,
I was under the little welder guys tent during one of the morning down pours (great product by the way). Wish we could have met. I stayed till around 3:30 or 4 and just got tired of running from the rain.

 

I bought a 55' f100 project at the nats today. It's basicly a cab, doors and chassis. It was next to the guy selling the nuts outside. It's needs EVERYTHING! Lol. But, it's a solid cab and doors, virtually dent free

 

Glad to see a few fte guys today!

I hope to sell a few more items as I bought another truck and have to make room to get it home!

 

There were several nice projects for sale. That truck was really a pretty good start for a project.

Never did figure out if Kevin's MaBell truck was for sale or not. There was another project truck over where his was too.

 

I bought the MA bell truck, so tomorrow I will load and take it home with me!
