Anybody go to Battle in Bama? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Myself · 05-07-2019, 10:30 PM

Our local mini club went. We went as spectators for a short vacation. Just wondering if I saw any members rides there??

Myself · 05-08-2019, 10:01 PM

Well, I thought for sure some of these would belong to members.

Myself · 05-08-2019, 10:04 PM

More....

Pretty sure the one in the top right corner of your first picture is a YouTuber called Whitlock Garage

Myself · 01-23-2020, 02:47 PM

So.......anybody going this year?

We're bringing my wife's old school firstgen S10. Our room is already booked.

Andy4639 · 01-30-2020, 10:50 AM

The red truck is Jason Vannatta we are friends on FB. He has a company called vannattafabrication.com he is a master builder and specializes in the 67-72 trucks.
The blue dually looks like the one off TV that Texas metal built.

There are a few members here that went last year and even more planning to go this year out of our local club here in SC. Upstate SC GM truck club.
I haven't decided 100% if I'm going are not yet.

Well, the show was postponed due to COVID but it happened in September. We hauled my wife's OG S10 down (pic with battleship) and ended up winning a 'Top100' award! There were over 700 vehicles that showed. We have already reserved rooms and will be going back again in 2021. Soooooo.........who is going next year?

Andy4639 · 12-18-2020, 09:43 PM

I had my money moved to 2021 so I planning on going.
Out local truck club had several rides there this year.

Myself · 04-28-2021, 08:13 PM

It's this weekend!!!!!

Myself · 05-01-2021, 11:36 PM

Well, I saw a registration number of 1277 today sooo......more vehicles than that down here. More clean C10's than you can shake a stick at......of every year!

Myself · 01-07-2022, 09:25 PM

We're already registered again for this MAY.

Anybody else??

**Orange71shorty** · 01-07-2022, 09:37 PM

I love that teal 68 GMC, perfect!

**Getter-Done** · 01-07-2022, 10:19 PM

The one in post #3 was the one built on Texas Metal.

Myself · 01-07-2022, 10:52 PM

I highly recommend this show. Lots of HIGH quality rides from all over the country show up. This year the event coordinator had to cap the number of registrants.

**special-K** · 01-08-2022, 09:21 AM

I'm glad to see you are finally getting some responses. Thanks for keeping at it. Your wife's S10 came out nice. Looks like a lot of work went into it

Peanut74 · 01-15-2022, 11:38 PM

When in May is this normally held? I would like to go to it for some motivation to get mine done.

**cwcarpenter98** · 01-16-2022, 09:47 PM

Here's the website. May 13-15 for this year

**Palf70Step** · 01-17-2022, 08:34 AM

I have been wanting to go, but I believe that is my son's college graduation weekend, so I'll probably miss it again this year.

1slo64 · 01-17-2022, 06:46 PM

Maybe my GMC will be done by next years show.

Myself · 04-11-2022, 10:46 AM

OOoohhh, coming up quick! They had to put a cap on this years show at 1300 vehicles.....it's sold out. No more spots. We got ours early and are eating 'Tacos on the Battleship'! And in typical trucker fashion I'm working on the truck with last minute type stuff, LOL!

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-13-2022, 05:50 AM

I will be there. Last year my 1st time and Loved it...

Look for the Guy driving the Big Black Moose

Myself · 04-14-2022, 02:42 PM

'Big Black Moose'.......ok, I'll keep a look out!

The big show starts in 5 DAYS!!!! And in typical car guy fashion, I literally just finished up swapping out a bunch of parts and test driving the truck!! Washed it this morning and have a couple days to get it fully polished and detailed........

Myself · 05-08-2022, 06:20 PM

I've been at it since 9am this morning with a few breaks here and there.
Started with a wash.......a good scrub with a shaggy mop head and some stuff that strips all the old wax, tree sap, bug guts, etc. Followed by a normal wash, rinse, and dry.
Then I did a prep wipe and got out the polish and 6" buffer. Polishing is about complete.
Then another wipe down and some Meguire's 'Gold Class' wax.
