American Pickers

I just saw the show on the History channel tonight. The one guy has a cool VW pickup. Don't know the year but it looks late 50's. This pickup had a "tailgate" on the side. They were cool. I knoew a guy that had one, however a later model.

Also, saw a blue '55 F-100 on Pawn Shop. Is that theirs or did they just get in a pawn deal?

the f100 is in just about every episode, it could just be a prop for the tv show too, just like the 4 guitars that are behind rich during interviews

Some guys are pickers and some guys are self-proclaimed junkyardmen.

I love the scenes where they are opening the doors and peering inside and see something that has not been in the light-of day for decades......awesome.

I like American Pickers, I think it's cool seeing all the stuff they go through.

As for Pawn Stars I see another OCC type show there.

One thing nice about Pawn stars seems like you can pick up on a lot of triva info about a lot of things. I enjoy when they bring in the experts to decide if its a fake or not. Wonder how the pickers sell the stuff they find.

Both show's are educational compare to the other types on tv nowadays; I wish the pickers would give the actual sell prices verse thier estimate sell price; Also like the one show they where in Ohio at the farm of the old man on the JD lawn tractor; he had cool old cars in several barns.

I will watch the pickers is there is nothing else on the tube... But PAWN STARS I love it. It must be a combination of the memories from when I lived in Vegas to all the cool stuff that walks in those doors... Like when a guy brought in a 1800's scuba mask was hoping for a few hundred bucks and it was worth like 12-15k. Damn. Or when that guy found that authentic aluminum Shelby, but my favorite part is that bad 55 that GPA likes to lean against when they are talking to him
