You don't have a clue what you missed. I had a great time.



The little truck ran fine. I managed 15.53 MPG even with Branson traffic and idling at the show a lot. I drove her 181 miles from Friday to today.



There was one flat head and two Y-blocks as far as the old trucks. A few of the newer ones were stock drivetrains.

I am learning just how unique mine is....weird......

My brother won a huge drawing. A stainless gas grill, fuel tank, grill utensils, engine stand, summit racing hat, XL summit racing jacket (now mine-I am the little one in the family), and a 56 F-100 wall clock (also now mine ).


I took 116 pictures. They are posted in my photobucket.

EDIT: I had to go look for the login name, but I met jnb53f100 there at the show.

Congratulations on a sucessful trip this week end, and thanks for all the great pics.

It is better that your brother won the gas grill, Now he will have to do the cooking instead of you.

He does not live around here. He is up in MO.

Sorry you could not make it this year. Maybe you can drive yours up next year.



I had a great time. I was sort of expecting a smaller show. I am not 100% positive about this, but I heard there were 99 trucks actually registered. Plus our club trucks were there too. The club is just there to have fun, but they do a lot of work that most people don't know about.

The long distance award went to a truck from CA. They were from all over the US though.

They had a few extra "goodie bags" left after all the trucks were registered. After the show they gave me one of those too. All sorts of cool stuff in there including samples and a dash plaque.

Yep. That one was the long distance winner. It is from CA. I can find out the town if you want me to.

I was told the black car (oldsmobile?????) parked next to them was from CA too.

Thanks Brian, No need to locate town. I,m pretty sure it is a Pickups Limited members truck. It could be either from the O.C. or San Diego chapter.

Great show

Hey it was a lot of fun! My dad and I came and stayed all weekend. We have made a bet on who will finish ours in time to get them there next year! Even though if I win, I will still be a perfect candidate for the "bottom 3" Also the CA truck was from Riverside..
