Pate Swap Meet this weekend

[mitchntx]

Any one else going to be there?

I'm looking for a driver ... a 70-72 SWB 4x4 Cheyenne Super, 68-70 or 76-77 SWB Fleet or Stepside F150 4x4, 73-79 SWB stepside Chevy 4x4 or Blazer ... no garage queens, but no projects, either.

Probably going Thursday and Friday.

went yesterday and came home with this ...

Need to have the driver's door adjusted and do something about that hideous cammo.

Service Manager at a dealership bought it after a trade in, went completely through it, except for driveline.
new bushings, new brakes, 17" take-offs, AC blows cold, all power works, no leaks, no smoke, drives straight ...

Over all nice ole truck.

Deals are there and Benjamins talk ...

Overall, I was disappointed. Drivers like this were far and few between. Mostly garage queens or projects, neither of which I wanted.

But Pate is always an experience.

Looks like a cool show for sure. I use to go to something similar in Carlise PA. Might have to try and catch the next one. Is it yearly or what? I couldn't seem to find that out on their website.

But Pate is always an experience.

Wish I would've taken a photo, but there was a Huey UH-1 body was mounted on wheels and converted into a rolling party wagon.
Doors slide open on one side to reveal a grill and fridge and the other was a 3 tap beer dispenser and drink well.

I also spotted what appeared to be brackets that supported big screens ...

Once the doors were closed, it looked like a helicopter.

Wow sweet truck

Your door probably needs new hinge pins and bushings. It's easy to do if you have the little tool to compress the spring, otherwise it's a bit of a PITA.

Oh, and it looks great. How many miles?
