I think we need to make this event a yearly GTG destination...

I liked seeing all the trucks instead of the standard 50's and 60's hot rods..

Did you see the Hillman???

I never heard of one before..

The Canadian built Meteor was cool to see..

I'm kind of a purist also...I'd rather see a vehicle restored as close as possible to original rather than see them hot rodded as in the World of Wheels show we went to. The antique truck show in Westminster VT is a great one also...that's the one Sean goes to each year. Of course...the owners can do whatever they like to their cars...and...they obviously take pride n their accomplishments.

Me too... posted in the other thread! It was nice to finally meet you Don... and the other two generations!!! Did you spot my truck on the way out? Here's a shot with the Bushwackers on... I installed them Saturday!



We went up to Polar RV in Salem, NH and looked at campers... nothing in the right price range. Stopped in Rochdale, MA on the way home and looked at another one (private sale) - right price but lesser brand name. Not sure what to do yet... Heading back upstairs for a while... will check in before Hittin' the Hay.

I like them too...

There was a guy at the swap meet/car show today that had a set of 20" Harley rims with Good year tires for 2K.. They were off an 07 SD Harley edition with 17 miles on them.. I would have loved to gotten them, but I don't 2 cents let alone 2K..

Thanks for the info Jim..

That doesn't sound like a bad price..

The only problem is mine are 18" so will probably cost more..

I would just need tires so I could get away cheaper..
