I always here talk of wanting to get a time to meet up. Lets throw some ideas of a date/ place out there for spring and we can all show off what we got done over the winter besides drinking beer and gaining weight (my specialty) .
There are alot of older trucks in the area just not sure whos a member and whos not.
I think something close to a major road / highway in the event out of towners want to come it's easy to find. :fb:

Maybe someone has a business or larger parking are we could meet at ??

sounds like an idea

Checking in from West Chester,Pa.

:gi: I like the idea....we tried to have one in the Allentown area last fall but no one showed up. Matt67C10 has a farm with plenty of room for trucks. He might want to host another one sometime in the spring or summer, we'll have to ask him. I might even have disc brakes in time too :lol:

Mike

Keep the ideas comming I can make that drive its about 4 hrs but I can do it.

I'd be very happy to host another event, that is if people would actually show this time. I'm about 15 minutes north of Allentown, and about 15 minutes from the PA 476 NE Extension of the Turnpike. Of course I'd be game for having it here, or somewhere else as well. You can count me in. I won't have done much to the truck by then, but hey, who needs an excuse to get together, talk trucks and drink beer? :lol:

Wagontown PA. is here

Hamburg Pa here, 40 minutes west of Allentown

Cool, are you guys interested in a Northeast get together?

well hopefully i will have my 81 stepper on the road, have pics in the 73-87 message board under "more progress"

Lets meet at the dirt drags in Kempton Pa. north of Kutztown. Camping, racin, and good times guaranteed. They have them three times a year.

Do you know the dates? I would be game..it's only about an 1 1/2hr or so from me.

Mike

Its not listed yet on the EC4WDA.org web site yet, but last year they were on 4/30, 6/18, 8/20. April and August would be the best. The June race is combined with the Kempton fair and it gets crowded.
Their is street legal racin and non street legal classes. And several old Chevys that race including myself. Drags and obstacle course.
mmmmmmm.....chevy trucks....the smell of cam II.....campfire......yuengling...(said like homer simpson).:lol:

just alittle info for everyone there is going to be a small swapmeet in Leesport Pa,(just north of Reading Pa) i believe its on the 26th of FEB. i will double ckeck on the date to make sure

What about the swap in Hamburg?It used to be a week or so after Leesport.

I didnt here or see of any date for it yet, but if and when i do i will let ya know

:gi: I'll second the Kempton meet ,It's great place and great time.Be better if I could beat OLDCHEV in the dirt drags though,He's got one good running 72blazer.

Lots of guys in the PA area, that's pretty cool.

Same old game...if only I was closer. :rolleyes:

Have a great time.

ttt

I drink beer.

"Beer is proof that God wants us to be happy"- Benjamin Franklin.

spring Kempton race was canceled. The race is Aug 19 and 20

hopefully my burb is together for the get together

keep the ideas comming !! we could even do a park or something thats got a few grills or allows it and BEER. If there is no beer we will have to meet a hooters instead so I can get some wings,beer and keep my eyes busy. you can reserve tables there and they always have parking. I mean like 1-2 pm on a sat/sunday heck most guys are with the wife. I know they dont make hooters a regular stop.(at least not many)

heck I would do it at my house but I say about 10- trucks would be the limit we could just park in the yard, turn the classic country on get drunk anf cry over how much money we got in our out trucks

I will still offer my farm...but am obviously open to other places as well. A park, a drive-in, whatever...

Just courious if anyone from the area ventured out to the swapmeet in Leesport Pa. There wasnt a whole lot there but it seemed like alot of people let w/ something in hand, I was going to set up and unload some old 50's car and truck parts i have laying around I dont need, but working a regular job and helping my buddy out in his shop keeps me busy, so I didnt have time to get things together.

just asking if anyone from the valley is going too hit the swapmeet in Hamburg tomorrow

I can offer the group a great setting (a University Campus), lots of parking, pay-as-you-go food, space for the kids to run around or just hang out in the shade. Only problem, it would be in the Lehigh Valley again on the eastern end of PA. Didn't sound like that drew well last time you tried it. Close to Jersey though. Maybe some of those guys would like to join us.
If anyone is interested, let me know.

I think that's a great idea. I tried to have it at my farm last time, but Mike, aka 68Haywagon was the only one who showed.

:metal: Was a good time!

It definitely was, and my truck wasn't even there :lol:

in may/june there is a small car/truck/bike show if there are people interested i will get more info. i know it is $10 to get in with a free meal and prizes. in east syracuse NY zip 13057

I like car shows...but I don't know if I would bring my truck to one that I would have to pay to enter. It looks like hell and just isn't worth the money for me. That's why I love the W-B car cruises....they are free, you can literally bring anything with wheels, there are prizes but people don't fight for them, everyone there is friendly, and it's an event you can bring the whole family to.

Mike

:agree: Too bad I have to miss the first two :whine:

My Sister used to live in Liverpool about 5 years ago. I used to visit and we would go to the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. What a place! Ribs are awesome. Heck, everything is awesome.

Newbie checking in from Southeast PA. Chester County. Malvern to be exact. Great looking site. Look forward to getting together. Weather permitting though. I'm topless.

Did I see Your Blazer at Pickering Valley Feeds?Might have been last fall.I will have to look for the pictures I took.The same day I saw an ochre painted one from Tn. at the Superfresh.
I live off of the Downingtown side of Boot road.

Good looking blazer.
Ever been to Ramsey Automotive in Malvern? He has a couple old chevy's.

:welcome2: Green Monster

FYI - the last friday of each month starting in May they have a free car show at the Great Adventure Outlets in Jackson NJ (just down the road from GA). Lots of cars turn out, maybe we could get a section for just trucks.

I Will add more to this list as i here of em

hahaha, JC damn u!! I've been taking like 3 days to compile all the local swaps and car shows and all I had to do was swing by here to get like half the ones I wrote down

if you know of any i dont post em here!!

Sounds good you can count me in unless it falls on a day I have a race. Just an idea there are some places around Hanover that have different get together meets of all types of classic autos. Just my 2cents worth.

I've been checking, these sites...
http://www.njcarshow.com/
http://www.carshownews.com/national/NJ.htm,
pretty good lists there

Hanover sounds good,let`s do it!We can also have a party at someone`s place,if we put our minds together.I`m offering mine as an option.Although,I`m at the edge of this region and not as central as some.

I'm still offering my place as well, near the Allentown, PA area.

I can supply some stuff if we get this together, beer,beer,beer,beer and maybe some paper plates or something.

all we need now is a time,place,and more ice cold beers

Matt,sounds like the best idea yet.How can we organize something?Start with a date?We already know who`s bringing all the beer,lol.

How many could consider Matt`s,Allentown area?Me=1

Yea I brought the beer the last time and no one was there. So I'll leave that to gn4u2c :b69:

Oh and Matt the June cruise is cancelled because of the W-B bicentannial.

Lets set a date.

Mike

Me-3, obviously...

Part of the problem is most guys don`t look here much,me included.Let`s get pms to some of these guys for input on a date.I don`t have time right now.But,does that sound good?

Trust me extra beer is never a bad thing. Mybe we can get a sticky in the top of the message forums for say 30 days or so Have to get with the mods on that.

Ok lets start deciding!! Does everyone agree a weekend is best? Which day? What month is good? What time is good? :fb: We need to actually do this!!

Matt's place is nice...plenty of room!

Mike

Yes,a weekend for sure.For instance,Allentown is a couple few hours for me.

I'm generally free most weekends this summer. Any ideas?

Checking in from Chester County.

raceway park cruise night is tonight (tuesday)

Well June is pretty much shot for me every weekend. How about July?

Mike

July works for me!!

keep me posted, im about an hour and a half away.

Ok I will help Nail this down ,Lets say The last sat or sunday or July The 29th or 30th. That way everyone can get all hot driving around these old trucks with no air, overheat along the highway,spend $80.00 in gas get all mad because there kids ran into ther truck with a bike last night right after you finished waxing it exc- exc. Then we will have a few beers and make it all better. ;)

july 29 or 30th works for me
is this ok with you matt??

i may also know a couple 67-72 die hards that arnt members because of there lack of internet knowledge that may be interested in a truck meet

i guess sunday might be best for most but im good either way

Have we picked a location yet. I can offer one in Eastern PA if one hasn't been selected yet.

We had Matt's place picked out because it has plenty of room. If that date is OK with Matt and he still is offering his place we are good to go. If not where did you have in mind?

Mike

PS: That date looks good to me!

Have we picked a location yet. I can offer one in Eastern PA if one hasn't been selected yet.

im defenitly ok with anywhere nere mikes too if matt has to bail
im alot closer to nitro mike

hell , if you guys wanted a 3rd choice id offer my place ,that way i wouldnt have to decide which of 3 trucks i would drive there. id pay for all the burgers and dogs and supplies and sodas and chips!! id spend nearly that on gas . and if it rains my dinning room kitchen and living room are huge.
id say my yard could acomidate a tailgate party of about 15-20 trucks in front and 30+ trucks in the back.
big patio with a nice fire place
AND a petting zoo in the back for the kids, kinda (all pendup so you dont have to worry about your truck getting horned by a goat)

and 7 mins. away from 6 flags great adventure theme park if you wanted to drop the wife and kids there or make it an entire day event for the whole family

If anyone is interested the Hot Rod Power Tour is coming through Harrisburg Pa (june 8) then cruising up to Englishtown, NJ (raceway park, June 9). Should be a ton of cars and some trucks (at least 2500 vehicles). If anyone else is interested in going let me know.

The cruise night at E-town is pretty cool too. Like JC said, burn-outs, rock crawling track and sometimes drag racing. Sometimes you even get to see an idiot on a bike crash doing a wheelie.

I have access to the 400 acres of DeSales University in Center
Valley,PA. (I book the space to outside groups in the summer as part of my job). We have a number of parking lots that would surely hold our Northeast group. Our air-conditioned food court is open for pay-as-you-go food. Plenty of restroom facilities. It would be BYOB and as long as we keep the partying on the "down-low" we could have the event here and expand next summer if there is enough interest.
We are at the intersection of Rt. 309/378/78 and just a few miles from the PA turnpike between Allentown and Quakertown. July 30 works for me. We have other groups on campus but have plenty of room for the 67-72 faithful.
That said, I would be willing to go to Slatington or to JC's (I've been there. He's got enough trucks and parts to make everyone drool) if that suits everyone better.
Just let me know what everyone prefers.

lets call it the 30th !!! I will get either a caig of beer and a nice big container to keep it iced down or get a few cases o diffrent stuff so we got choices. I will get it iced down no matter what !

Ok lets vote on a place. someone list all the possibilties, say a 2 week vote on it and at the end of 2 weeks thats where it is. If you say your comming don't forget !!! lets make this a nice event !! maybe even one of the vendors would like to come setup and show off some new parts ??

as soon as matt confirms the 30th is ok with him and his place is available still i will gladly set up a tread for voting on location

so far i compiled a list of members that subscribed to this tread and added a few members taht i know are really close to my place and clould probably make it and ive come to about 23 possible members so far

if you are the least bit interested in attending post in this tread and i will
PM everyone with updates and links to voting treads

start pming people you guys know any where near us and clue them in and tell them to post here ,and i will keep em up to date via pm

responsable drinking is ok with me just rember its a long trip back home for alot of us no matter where the location ends up being.

I would be intrested in attending a meeting. I don't know if my tow truck could make a 4-5 hour trip to the Leigh Valley. I used to make the trip to Leigh U. in 3 hrs. when my son went there but that was in a car. Closer would be better.

:metal:

is this open to newcomers?
