I was wondering how many folks will be attending Skips swap meet from FTE? First swap is Feb. 21. I usually vend out there and was hoping to meet some fellow forum members.

 

Never heard of this swap meet before. Do you know if there are many '60s vintage \
F-100 parts? Thanks!

 

Is that as in "Skips" drive in that used to be in Melrose Park? Let me (us) know where it's at, I'd really like to check it out. Thanks.

 

Here's the website for it Home

It's located at thenew Lake Co. Fairgrounds.

It's really hard to say what will be out there. It just depends on what vendors bring with them. We usually bring a good mix of Ford truck and HiPo parts with us. Hope to see some new faces out there from FTE!

 

I will def be there!
