Tri State Swap Meet 8-9 February 2014 Nat'l Western Complex

[akaFrankCastle]

Yup, almost that time again. Set aside an entire morning to walk the halls and haggle on stuff you'll probably never use.

Who is in for this years show?

hey i might actually be able to make this one!!!!

[Gregg]

I can't do Saturday but I'll totally go Sunday...

[akaFrankCastle]

What was that breakfast joint we hit last year? Shall we do a repeat?

[Kinder]

The Butcher Block Cafe? I think that was it, I just rolled by that area the other day.

[Justin]

I think that's the one. I'm interested. Which day works best for you guys?

[akaFrankCastle]

Saturday is my preference. Would like to get there while all the good stuff is there. Of course, better bargains might be had on Sunday. What about you guys?

[Kinder]

Dang it, going to miss this one. I'll need someone to text me items with photos & prices.

[landshark]

I would like to go and as mentioned would prefer sat.

[akaFrankCastle]

I would like to go and as mentioned would prefer sat.

I'm in for Saturday. My event coordinator has informed me that this is the best day for me as I will be engaged in home improvement tasks on Sunday.

Shawn, we'll have to let you know where all the deals are and have you haggle for us.

Maybe we should have a Kinder contest and see who can get the best item for 15 bucks. I think Kirk currently holds that record after haggling a set of harnesses down from, what was it, 75 bucks?

[landshark]

Just let me know what time I will be there

[Gregg]

Its looking like it'll be me and my brother on Sunday. Feel free to post up stuff you "almost got" and I'll look out for it. I'll definitely check this before I head down.

[akaFrankCastle]

How's about we do Butcher Block at 7-7:30 and head over at
8ish when the doors open?

[landshark]

I can do that... see you at 7?

[Justin]

Looks like I won't make it. Wife is sick, I'm on kid duty.

[akaFrankCastle]

Sounds good Chris. Justin, we'll keep our eyes out for that set of fuzzy dice you've been looking for forever.

[plumbdoctor]

Zack, don't know if I will make it tomorrow, keep a look out for some bucket seats black or grey, if you remember

[akaFrankCastle]

You looking for stockers or just buckets in general?

[Justin]

Sounds good Chris. Justin, we'll keep our eyes out for that set of fuzzy dice you've been looking for forever.

Thanks! I could use a replacement set.

[akaFrankCastle]

7:30 more likely for me.

[landshark]

Nothing worth mentioning.

My favorite license plate table forgot all of his 70's plates.

Picked up a mismatched but very clean pair of arm rests. Landshark got some door locks from Bronco Hut.

[Gregg]

So.....anything cool? Nothing wrong with arm rests or door locks...but any sluts, I mean slots?

[akaFrankCastle]

A few sets of 15x7s. A set of 15x10s was already sold before we got to them.

A NOS PS fender for $400. A set of fiberglass fenders for 150/each, I think. A few other odds and ends on various tables.

Lots and lots of Offy intakes for SBFs. More than I've seen before. Must be all the rage with the "rat rod" crowd.

Well while you guys were eating a good breakfast and strolling the isles at the swap meet, the boys and I went to not 1, not 2, but 3 different pull and pays to collect the rest of the body parts needed for the ranger. We slogged through slush icy puddles 6" deep and mud but in the end we were 100% successfull. We scored all the body panels, grill , lights etc we thought we needed - off a correct color, matching truck!!! No need to paint

We also scored a sliding rear glass for one of the dodge trucks (mine or Dans) for exactly $11.88

But the most amazing thing we saw...

This roll cage on a lifted and chopped up exploder!!!

[landshark]

ohhh outdoor plumbing, nice PVC

[Gunnibronco]

Don't worry it's DOM PVC.

[Rox Crusher]

Don't worry it's DOM PVC.

And it's filled with concrete for extra strength

[casadejohnson]

I can't imagine how a quality piece of workmanship like that made to the junkyard. WTF is wrong with people?

I worked on hot tubs for 10+ years, I know PVC. And that is the work of a true master in his field.
