MHfred Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Brocky, I can't be there until Saturday. There does not appear to be enough BMT members for a picture but we can meet at the registration tent at noon.

farmer52 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Mrs. Farmer and I stopped by around noon and left about 2p. LOTS of trucks already and many COEs! This is only my second visit but this is a great show. Too bad it is the same weekend as Trucktoberfest. I would like to spend more time. I took a few pics. Tom - take lots of pics.

MHfred Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 I had to drop my wife off at Dulles airport this morning and her flight was cancelled so I had to go pick her up. I was at the show for about 10 minutes and was gone by 8 AM. Sure wish I could have spent the day there like I had planned. It was a gorgeous day and lots of nice trucks there.

Popular Post other dog Posted September 28, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2014 Well shhhh-oot!.at least I got to see Mike! It was a great show, great weather, lots of trucks I hadn't seen before, lots of old favorites- and don't worry Ken, I took 297 pictures. I haven't processed them yet, but here's a few-I'll post a link to flickr or photobucket or where ever it is I put my pictures ASAP.The one thing that peed me off was the Ford cabover with the 903 Cummins. I was all the way across the lot when I said "hey- that's a 903! I haven't heard one of those in years!" So I went over to the registration tent and waited for him to fire it up again and drive off, so I could get the sound on video...and by the time I figured out how to set the camera on video, it was long gone. And all I had to do was press the little red button with the video camera emblem on it. Dang it- now i'll probably never hear another 903 running again. Had straight pipes on it too.I saw this truck there too, but I never saw the owner. Kept looking for him all day. Brocky probably knows him, how many Diamond T's could there be in Waterloo,S.C? 5 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 This isn't a big truck, but still a nice ride. I saw it over at the motel where we were staying and thought "he should have this at the antique truck show". Turns out he was at the show. Drove the Suburban from Ashland, Ohio. I talked to him at the motel, and he said he got it at an estate sale, he was the second owner, and it had 30,000 actual miles on it. Had the original 350 engine. He said the original owner took all the chrome trim off when he bought it new so it wouldn't trap salt and rust it out, but he kept it all and it came with it when he bought it. He said he probably would never have found it otherwise. The yellow paint is original too, he repainted the white and had to redo the interior because the seats practically just crumbled when you sat in them, just from age. I got several compliments on my shirt.Here's a nice looking unit for sale-Another Mack for sale-Another Mack for sale-A yellow B 81.Wow!Nice load of logs.Sharp looking blue White.Outstanding V8 R Model!Outstanding buffet here!

farmer52 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Tom,Thanks for all the pics. Very nice! Many of the vehicles were already there on Friday when the wifey and I were there. Did you hear a total count?The TC U was just as nice in person as it is in the pics. Almost makes me want a sidewinder.Also, did you buy tickets for the Dodge Dart GT convertible? I bought six (6) tickets....drawing is October 19th.

I bought six (6) tickets....drawing is October 19th.I didn't see the Dart. We were there from about 8:15 until 12:30 I think, and walked the place over and over and back again, I was pretty tired when we left. I heard a guy say there was over 300 trucks there, but I never heard an official count. There were quite a few that weren't there last year. I talked to the man who owned the U model, he's working on restoring two pup trailers and he said he hopes to have them ready by next year's show.

farmer52 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 The Dart was just across the drive from the food building and in front of the tractors. There was a canopy where they were selling raffle tickets (1=$5 and 6=$20).
