:gi: With the success of the North Texas board meet last August I figure its time to start talking about the next one. Maybe some time in March. It would give us time to get all the details worked out. Lets have your ideas. :fb:

Remember that dude at the last one that came walking up and sounded like he was going to start shooting people? His name was Dallas something. He scared the bejeezus out of me for a second.

I would like to suggest that we go to Fredricksburg on Memorial weekend. The Texas Street Machine Nationals is a great car/truck show that moved from Waco to Fredricksburg last year. It's in a very nice park and has lots of room for everyone. It is very family oriented with lots of things for the kids to do if you bring them. There are plenty of hotels in all price ranges close by, and lots of shopping for the ladies too.

Let me know what y'all think... :cool:

I DEFENTLY want to go, I know I have no chance of winning, hope to have the truck completed sonw by then, I've went threw 2 paints jobs in a month, lol, i hate being a perfectionist. If I can get off I'll defently go, I'll need some help when I get there thought, if some of yall wont mind. The timing will defently be off iono why but my truck does that on road trips and I don't know how to sit the timing up. I'll try to bring some of the car club, they probly don't wanna come, were about to split up anyways. Just can yall post what motels yall are stayin at and stuff like that, I'm 18 and will be probly makin the trip alone, so I need all the help I'll be able to get down there. I was also wondering does anyone know how much is will be to enter, or anything. Thanks .

I could be in on a Fredricksburg meet.

I would up for a meet, I need to see where Fredricksburg is.

It would be nice to have one in the Mid-cities or Arlington area also sometime.

I would like to meet alot of the guys on theboard from here.

Keep us posted

Stacey

Fredericksburg would make for a great road trip, could stop by Luchenbach with it being so close.
wish my truck would finish itself, soon as its done Im in on these meets...

Hmmm, thats a 10 hr push for me. I may be up for some fun if I can get the car running right by then

The meet Krazy Texan arranged last August was great. I'll definitely be there for another one!

Fredericksburg would be great. Its a little far ( about 260 miles from Ft Worth)
for just a local board meet. Might be good for an all Texas meet. Maybe that would be a good trip for our own sort of Power Tour. It would be great to have about alot of trucks to go down together. I was thinking about something a little closer to the metroplex and a little sooner.

I would be willing to join in on a caravan to Fredricksburg. We used to go to the Waco mini nats all the time. Even got our group pictured in Truckin magazine in 96 or so. :metal: Funny thing is it is our backside cause its during the tug of war contest lol. Assuming the weather is decent might even crank the ol Jimmy up and drive down topless woohoo....Had it down there when I first got it and even if it gets to 100 in the day those spring nights can be still be cool enough to use the heater with the top off lol.

I would also be willing to meet some of these Chevy nuts locally too. I am 100 miles NE of most of ya but what can be better than a road trip in a Chevy right? :cool:

Brad

Fredericksburg would be great..... Might be good for an all Texas meet. Maybe that would be a good trip for our own sort of Power Tour. ..... Now your talking. That's a great idea. Lets see if we can't get groups coming from different directions and all converge on the show.... :metal:

Something closer to the DFW area would be good. Missed the one last year. Truck wasn't driveable anyway, then noticed about 2 weeks too late that it had passed. Fredricksburg is a bit of a haul in an old hauler. Just don't trust it that much yet.

Something closer to the DFW area would be good. Fredricksburg is a bit of a haul in an old hauler. Just don't trust it that much yet.

I think a we should do both. Have a local meet near the Mid-Cities area in DFW, (for the members who can't make the distance), then work up a road trip for the guy's who can. I would try to make both!

i would be in for a trip dfw or fredricksburg im in colorado city so everything is a road trip for me ...lol

Ttt

I am game for a local meet.

i have been pondering the idea of hosting one down in waco but fredericksburg will work to. what i would really like to do is set up like a cruise where us guys from each region all meet up somewhere and cruise down there together and all that good stuff, let me see what i can throw together, i leave for boot camp on april 4 so i really want to do this before i leave

I would like to do one closer that I could try to bring the old truck to. Then maybe the Fredricksburg with the newer truck. Something in March to work towards getting the truck in shape.

Does anybody have any suggestions on some place in the metroplex. I am looking in the north Ft. Worth Area.

Yea, I would prefer something closer to home too! We could meet somewhere at a park or at Joe Pool Lake or someplace like that....just a suggestion. It would give me some incentive to get to working on my truck.
OH, and any of you DFW guys know how to mess with the shift linkage from the column to the tranny PLEASE let me know. I need HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! :whine:

Cedar Hill State park?

Kind of in the middle, big, lots to do.

No alcoholic beverages, and a fee to get in.

Is there some place in Arlington where we could have it. That is probably the half way point in DFW area. A nice park where the kids could play (We had a couple last year and it was a overcast day.) I could locate some in Fort Worth but do not know Arlington to well.

Kevin might have some good ideals in the HEB area since he is a fireman over there. I know there are some really cool parks over there with ample parking area.

I am in on the local one... Maybe the one to fredricksburg depending on the date.

So when is this gonna happen? Or should I say. What are some dates we are looking at for this.

Regards,

Stace

No one has set a date, so I will throw a couple out there.

March 26 or
April 2
Both are Saturdays, one week apart.

Blue68 suggested Cedar Hill, That looks like a great place. Here is the link to the park.
Cedar Hill (http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/park/cedarhil/)

MACKL either of those sound great to me and Cedar Hill would be a nice place too!!

i vote april 2nd ..more time to get mine ready for the trip...lol

April 2nd is fine with me. Just gives me another week to try to get something done. Anymore suggestions on a location.

North Texas Guys---Off topic Question....
Anyone know of someone that can do body work on our trucks....as in : cab corners and rockers???

CEDAR HILL STATE PARK...... http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/park/cedarhil/

City of Arlington City Parks ...... http://www.ci.arlington.tx.us/park/parks.html

i personally would much rather have it a little sooner than both of the dates listed though i could do the first date, i leave for boot camp on april 3 so i dont think that april 2 would work out for me

I can get location. It's the old Cattle Barron Steak house.
It's in the Ft Worth area. I-30 and Whites Chapple
Owner said we can use the parking lot, if we don't get to roudy, "You know how thoes
67-72 truck boy's can get".

that sounds great matt now we need to set a date

The old steak house would be great for me as it's about a mile from my private "Tx Firefighter Signature series Junkyard".

The dowside is, there is no bathroom on that site, so ya'll will be pee-n in the wind. There's lots of cows there, so hope you don't get stage fright in front of the cattle.

Sounds like we have a place, How about we go for March 26th. Morning or afternoon ?

I would definately like to go to the meet and meet some of yall cuz I am a newbie. I would really like some suggestions or opinions on what Ive got so far and I would also like to see what some of the projects yall have been working are like. I think around noonish would be a good time because it would give some people who need to travel a little ways time to get there.

that sounds great do we want to make a weekend out of this one and cruise to waco or fredericksburg or somewhere to meet some of the guys from south texas i think that would be really fun maybe just hang out in fortworth for a while so the guys that cant or dont want to make the trip can still get together with some of us

How's about a map so us folks that aren't from the Metroplex can find this shin-dig?

So is this going to be like a cookout or what. Im a growing boy so I kinda think about where my next meal is before it gets here. Sorry but im a newbie so I dont know how yall do this.

I'd be down for a dfw meet. The end of March might be pushing it on my truck but it gives me something to shoot for. I doubt it will be finished but i might be able to at least get it streetable by then and show you guys what ive been working on EVERY WEEKEND since October.

I'm out of town, when I get back map and driving directions will be posted.
I may get the key to the bathrooms.

how abot we bring bbq grills and make a lunch thing out of it

^Thats kinda what I was thinking. Do any of you Veterans want to organize this lunch thing, as in do we all bring food or money, hopefully there wont be any freeloaders, I dont know how yall deal with that sort of thing.

Here are some maps to get to the old Cattle Baron Steak House. I believe it is just across the Tarrant County/Parker County line, off of White Settlement Road. If you are coming from Fort Worth or anywhere east, from the west side of loop 820 (north of I-30) take White Settlement Road and go west. The road gets kinda narrow and isn't the best once you get in the more rural area. There is a gas station on the corner of White Settlement Road and Cattle Baron Road. Turn north (right) and go up over the hill and the Steak House is on your left (west) in that area.
:hiya:

Went and checked out the site this weekend and it looks great. I hope nobody will be offended by the fine fragrance of the nearby dairy farm. It is 4.5 miles from 820 to Cattlebarron Rd. Turn right and go 1 mile. I hope we have a great turnout.

So what time exactly is this gonna be? It is for sure the 26 right? So what about the food situation? Im still kinda wondering if Im gonna be able to eat that day.

Bagged69, if it's like the last board meeting, you will want to supply your own vittles.

Don't worry though, it's the best bunch of folks you'll ever meet. No one will nab your groceries.

Will the steakhouse be open? I will just eat there.

negative, it's been closed several years.

This is an ideal location for the event. It's completely rural. I remember a shade tree in the parking lot too.

Lots of smelly dairy cows there too.

I have a rusty old new braunfels smoker I will be glad to bring as long as I am in town.

I am not the best smoker in the world but I got a buddy who can smoke a brisket with his eyes closed and loves doing it so if we want to do some smoked briskets we need to start planning them.

Regards,

Stace

Im in. Id just be happy with hotdogs and hamburgers but Ive never said no to a good brisket either.

I would like to make this meet. Just happen to look on this forum today. I was one of the two guys that made the last one and didn't make it into the picture. Hope everyone from last year still has their key chain.

I have the key chain still and have gotten a lot of compliments and hazing (Ford guys) from it. Thanks again.

I still have my key chain too. It is the perfect key chain. It matches the color of the bowtie on my floor mats.
Inspector722, are you bringing any goodies to sale/swap?
Primed69, are you still interested in swapping steering wheels? I'll bring tools with me if want to swap at the meet.
Kelly

I have a couple of items around here I can bring. I might be bring up a couple of parts for Krazy Texan, he is going to let me know. I still looking for a 67 front passenger fender and hood (no rust, straight).

OK guys, Got the go ahead for the meet at the Cattle Barron.
NO water or bathrooms!!!! No water or bathrooms!!!! No water or bathrooms!!!!. If I didn't tell ya'll there will be NO WATER OR BATHROOMS. There is a near by Store the will have a restrooms, and drinks or whatnot.
It will just be the parking lot that we can use. We can cook out if we clean up after.

Could someone re-post the pertinent info.....Date, time, location, what to bring? :)

I would like to make this meet. Just happen to look on this forum today. I was one of the two guys that made the last one and didn't make it into the picture. Hope everyone from last year still has their key chain.

I got there pretty late last year. Didn't get in the picture, or a keychain. :whine:
Oh well, there is always this year.
Todd

For anybody that doesn't know. We will meet on March 26th at noon. There is a map and directions posted on the second page of post. Thanks Matt for setting up the location. There is no formal food arrangements so if you want to eat got to bring your own. I be bringing a ice chest with water and some sodas. Somebody always forgets.I am also bringing a 10x10 popup cover and a table. Ill have a signin sheet and have my son bring the good digital camera so we can get everybodys picture and rides posted on the board. We need everybody to turnout so we can show the board the best of Texas. Looking forward to seeing everyone who was at the last meet and meeting a whole lot of new faces.

I have a few parts I will bring with me and here is a list of a few parts That I am looking for.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php3?t=143518
Any help would be apprec.
Stephen

Ill be there even if I cant bring my 69. I want a super cool keychain! I think someone should bring some 67-72chevytrucks.com t shirts to sell to help support the site.

hey i know it is a long drive for him but we need to drag Josh out here, i would really like to meet him

Put me on your list for anything in N. TX. :c2:

ttt

I won't be able to make that one, but I just wanted to let everyone know that me, 65streetcruiser, GSFmech, and a few others will be at the Pate swap meet at the speedway in Fort worth with a booth next month. We were thinking about putting together a board meet and cooking burgers or something. I'm not sure on the cooking yet, but we will definately be there. Anyone interested? It's April 28th through May 1st.

I'll be at Pate with my father-in-law, so I'll look for ya!

Let us know what spaces you'll be in. We'll come look you up.

Are we still going to meet on Saturday March 26, 05? Noon-5:pm

The parking lot is paved.

Matthew

Yes all still looks good for Sat. There is a forecast of rain but you know how Texas weather is. Really hope we have a big turnout. Thanks Matt for making the arrangements on the location.

I will be there about 1:15 if ya'll are still there. Guy at work had to leave town for funeral so I have to work Saturday morning in Arlington

can okies come along?
truck aint ready so the stang will have to do!

More the Merrier I'd say

The weather isn't the forecast that usually messes up my schedule . . .... my current work 'forecast' should still allow me to be there.

Wish I would have checked on here sooner. I made plans for this weekend. I would have loved to meet up with you guys. I meet Inspector722 today getting some parts from Mothertruckers supplier warehouse in Arlington. Maybe we can schedule another board meet up here this summer. Have a good time everyone.

:metal: :bowtie: :metal:

Rain or shine?
