OK, let me just ask the question directly. How many people who read posts here live in Belleville, IL? Thanks for the responses. By the way, that post about the '66 F-100 is owned by a guy in Fairview Heights.

 

I live about 30 min. from Belleville, outside of Marissa. Sell cars at Riess Ford in Marissa as well, and have tons of customers from the Belleville-Swansea-O'Fallon area

 

Thank you for the response. I have been going up to Gateway Int'l Raceway lately and drag racing is addictive. So, if any guys want to meet up there just let me know.

 

I live in Swansea, have a 76 F250 4x4 and 79 F350 Super Cab 4x4
I am starting to collect alot of parts now that I am almost finished with my garage.

 

Hi F350Nut, good to hear from you. Maybe we should try and get together sometime. We are very close to each other. We may be able to share tools or knowleadge or something or just hang out sometime. I have been trying to get a group of FTEers together from the Missouri Forum, but things are slow. Use my profile to contact me if you like. Have a good one!

 

I'm in New Baden!

Looks like we need to have a gathering of some sort...

 

I live in Trenton, always in Belleville..

 

Can anyone give a report on the Swapmeet they have in Belleville? I have seen it advertised but have never been. Might be a good roadtrip.

 

Hi TruckFarmer, I suppose you mean the swap meets at the Belle Claire Fairgrounds? I have been to only one (when I had no money), and of course this one had all the things I ever wanted for my truck, haha.

Also, if you like racing, Belle Claire also has that during the racing season. I don't know how far you have to travel, but I think it would be worth it to go to one of the swap meets, IMHO. Good luck, Doc.

There is a rather large swap meet at the Waterloo Fairgrounds the first weekend in April. It's called the April Fools swap meet.
I think it will be on Sunday the 4th this year.

 

Waterloo is just south of Columbia Il on SR3 only 30 minutes from down town St louis...
