Location: SW Colorado | Are there any good vendors for our stuff at the Pate Swap Meet this year? If so, do you know their location? This place is huge and too far for an old man to walk just finding Chevy and Ford junk. |

Location: SW Colorado | Rented a scooter today after seeing about 99% of the people riding them yesterday were younger than me, so I got to see a lot more of the place. If you're working on a '40s Ford or '55-57 Chevy, this is the place to be. Any kind of Mopar, especially a Foreword Look, pretty much a bust. |

Location: Newark, Texas (Fort Worth) | I saw some 57 Chrysler taillights (one missing rev lens) and a set of Desoto taillights probably 57/58. A few mopar mirrors and that's about it. People were eyeballing a 440 block and a hot rod with an old 331 Hemi. 59 Plymouth wheel covers. Might go back today. Mint green Dr. Pepper coolers and other Items looked C@@l! Lots of walking. Can't afford a scooter 'and' buy parts. Marc in Newark...TX, 15 miles from he track. |

Location: So. Cal | There used to be a huge automotive swap meet in San Diego. I went there a couple of times. I felt like I was wandering around in a hot desert all day, searching hopelessly for a small mopar morsel to sustain me. I typically came away with 1 or 2 small universal type parts. The smaller, home town auto swap meets are typically better. Everyone saves the mopar parts for mopar specific shows, so that's all I'll go to unless I have Ford or Chevy parts I want to unload. Speaking of which, anyone want a '68 turbo 400 for a Rolls Royce? |
