Turlock Swap Meet 2011

Who's going/vending this year? I'll be down from Washington Fri. & Sat.

 

Haven't decided yet. Got several large crates of 40s 50s 60s parts and an El Camino.

 

I'll be there space F16 on the grass, stop by so we can put a face to each other

 

i might make it , kind of a long trip for me

 

My pop and I will be going.

 

flying down Firday to go to the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona. Then back late that Nite to get up very early Sat for Turlock. looking for a pair of 15"X6" reversed steel rims with 4 3/4" bolt pattern; correct seat foam for '61-'63 T-Bird, etc

 

i think a few guys from the club will be there.

 

awwww the sweet smell of turkey shit!!!! what is the smell in that town???

 

i'll be there, Damn I hope its not raining and bitter cold. Guess that weeds out the sally's though.

Looking for some Ford 5 on 4 1/2 15x6 1/2 or 7" steel wheels for my Gasser project.
Vintage FE Cool manifold for the car and what ever other cool goodies I can drag home.

 

Cow Puckee, from all the dairy farms I guess.

 

Hey half fast, want to bring me down a car from Washington??

 

I’m flying over from the UK, first time at Turlock really looking forward to it.
Can any one pass on their experience from previous years

Cheers Pete

 

everyone knows what they got and how much it's worth

 

Be sure to bring some comfortable boots and extra pairs of socks..........the grass field tends to be wet & muddy.

 

I don't think I could get it through security at the airport....

 

lol ill be the tromping thru the mud

 

Yep, most any "deals" will have already been sold, and moved to another space with the price jacked up

If you're looking for something in particular, and are willing to pay top dollar, you might find it. If you're looking for good deals, you might come home with nothing but a fuel bill

 

BS I always find shit for a deal there just gotta look, be early and lucky.

What time do the gates open ?

Thanks Pete

 

turlockswapmeet.com for info ---- as with most swaps big deals made nite before in set up staging area or way before the Sun comes up (doesn't come up early, if at all, in Turlock) . This is the biggest and the best in Northern Calif, so don't miss it. yes, there are other big swaps later in the year, but this one has true history.

 

Warm clothes, boots and gloves, get there early, and bring plenty of money.

 

Don't leave any farm animals alone with the dude selling in space F16.......

 

Thanks for the links etc
If F16 is out where do I leave them ??

 

We'll be there, J-21 and 22 stop by for some cold beer!!! See ya, JOKER JASON.

 

I will be in the Barns at BB62. Plan to be there by sundown Friday.

 

Supposed to be nice weather this weekend.

 

I will be there in the Covered Shhep Pin Area.

Orange '65 Chevy Long Bed full of Interesting stuff.

Some Early Ford stuff, '27-'28 Chevy Stuff, Some Speed Equipment, '48-'52 MERCURY Tail Gate, BLC Headlights........And whatever else ends up on the truck.

Will be looking to buy a '18-'23 Dodge Roadster Body & Magnesium 15x8-9 wheels for my '32 Gasser.

Stop by & look thru the CHEEEPY Box's

 

Who puts the GNRS and Turlock swap on the same weekend?????? Specially when you live smack dab inbetween them.......OH the humanity!

 

Turlock Saturday, back home for GNRS on Sunday.

The only thing I see that is destroying the Turlock swap meet, is that every year there are more empty spaces that have been paid for and kept by families that don't show up and then there are the people that show up in a space they keep, bring the RV and bbq, but don't sell anything. It seems last year that about 30% of the spaces in the north field had no parts for sale in them. It's pretty sad when you hear about all the people who have trailer loads of parts they want to sell, but sometimes wait 3 years to get a space. I say, bring parts to sell or lose your space.

 

lol, this happened to me last year. I spent $80 for a Wassell Tank that had heavy surface rust for my motorcycle and thought I got a good deal because they usually run for $100-150 on ebay around the same condition. later through the dau i saw a friend selling some stuff at the meet. He saw me holding the tank and asked how much I paid for it. And then he told me he sold that exact tank to the guy I bought it from that morning for $20.
