I wish I had thought about this before. I had a tenant go belly up who specialized in truck performance parts, just disappearing leaving me with lots of odds and ends. I had a heck of a time getting rid of them. This swap meet would have been perfect.

Anyway, the rack is about all I have left. I ended up donating a lot of the stuff. The rack fits about anything. I had one in my business before and have one now for my F-150. It is nice to haul wood and steel, fold it forward when you are done. Also, I like the tie downs. They slide along the bed.

Probably not worth entering for this one thing.

Anyway, it is nice to hear from you guys.

Jim

Thanks,

My most recent project is repowering my boat with a late 90's new crate ford 302.

Wish me luck.

Jim

Most of the parking guys charge 10 bucks a day.

If my kid makes it up from Medford for a visit we will try and make it. Sounds like quite a swap meet!

I would like to make but will probably be in Anchorage or Fairbanks, used to set up there and will start doing it again next year. Last year driving truck, after 38 years, I'm quitting and going on the west coast swap meet retirement plan.

I'm retiring in Nov, but your system wouldn't work for me. I never want to sell anything I've got, but am always looking for more. lol

I still have 50+ Mallory Distributors, 100 intake manifolds for inlines, 17 vehicles and 2 brothers in the same shape. At some point the herd needs to thin out and get to a managable siaze and in case you haven't noticed I got my eye on a few more vehicles and all I publish on here are the Fords!!! I just bought a house in Christmas Valley because the wife is tired of having to weave up the driveway at the ranch to get to the house, so I can only bring the running ones to town.

I'm looking for a 4 bbl manifold, and a set of headers, for a 300-6 got any? Or a Dist for a roller cam "96" 302? These are two of the things I'm looking for at the swapmeet.

I went to a gun show at that place once.............You could have outfitted a division with the amount of firepower on display. I ended up lugging 2 cases of 7.62x39 out to the parking lot.......by hand.
That place is huge!.......wear your walkin' shoes!

In Seatle right now but I think that maybe for sure I have a couple of Clifford 4 bbl intakes, another 3 weber intake, no exchaust and dual point and unilite distributors for the 302 and to makie them viable for a roller cam I'd just have to install a brass gear which I have somewhere. Her's part of our table at Reno, ,
