Ron,

Last year, I walked around the whole swap meet before I made it to the buildings. This year I plan to go there first. Got some good stuff though.


I wonder why they schedule it the same weekend as the National Roadster Show in Pamona?

Re: Turlock Swap Meet- 50th Annual
 

This Swap Meet has always been on the last weekend in January, 50 years. I believe it started long before the Pamona Roadster Show ?

Ron, Did you ever live in Modesto ?

Steve,

Yes, from 1959 to 1988. Was in the Capitol A;s.

Are you related to Bob Smith ? Bob had a beautiful 30 Open Cab Pickup.

Ron,

Bob still has his 1930 roadster pickup. He had it in judging at the last roundup. I think he got 430 points. Tom Rut won best of show.

My weather app predicts rain in Turlock for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Is there a "rain date" or is it on rain or shine? Don't want to walk around in the rain.

:D:D:D:D Rain or shine buddy. It happens in the fog too!!!! Are you new to swap meets?

Re: Turlock Swap Meet- 50th Annual
 

Tiny,

Don't mind the fog. My wife has arthritis so we have to park in the handicapped area in the dirt near the entrance. I just don't want her slogging in the mud.

Be prepared for about a 10 mile walk that day. It's quite a large swap meet. She may choose to stay home as it looks like we are getting rain this year. It's been a while since its rain on the Turlock swap meet, I'm not going to complain as we need the rain BAD.

Re: Turlock Swap Meet- 50th Annual
 

Looks like it's going to be rainy and cold. Think I'll skip Turlock this year and go to the big 3 meet in San Diego next month.

Re: Turlock Swap Meet- 50th Annual
 

We will be there, T5 transmission overdrive kits, Ford 3 speed + overdrive kits, alternator kits , adjustable drag links , and more, in building #2

ya gotta know how to play the game, We modify our offerings based on the weather. On sunny years its a lot of literature; cloudy years, we lean more towards iron and steel. This year? we'll be offering canoes and snorkels

SnowPlane: ". . . ya gatta know how to play the game."

In Eureka, CA. I made my fortune selling umbrellas in the winter time and raccoon coats and fir gloves in the summer time fog.

I too will missing Modesto this year. But I won't miss a good swap meet - I'll be visiting my Basement and storage garage.

Re: Turlock Swap Meet- 50th Annual
 

Doug if your having a yard sale this weekend, I'm going to be missing Turlock.

Re: Turlock Swap Meet- 50th Annual
 

I did my first Turlock back in the '70's.It has never failed to be great. I am surprised how many people never go inside the exhibition halls, which are full of parts too.
