Default Decatur TX Swap Meet 2/21-23

This is the first big meet of the year. I always have luck finding early as well as late model parts here. I'll likely be selling mostly early Ford parts, but may bring a wagon and some Pontiac parts.

This is a good swapmeet. Friday has been my favorite day in the past. Usually a lot to pick from. Around 2 years back a 4 bolt ram air 4 block sold for cheap. About 5 years back I missed out on a '68 YZ engine for I believe $500 that was complete with manifolds and I believe correct carb. No telling what will show up.

It is the best swap meet for a mixture of items. Better than Pate, I think. A lot of old skool kats show up at Decatur.

Post a list of your groups wants/needs and we'll bring the parts. We've got about 20k parts between us, so it's normally a guessing game as to what to bring. 1 of us has 8 lug parts. I'll ask him to bring what he's willing to part with. I'll post our space numbers -- when I find the paperwork.

Off the top of my head

I need 4 rear only long fin 8 lug drums. 2 are going to be cut for the front (doing 8 lug discs) 2 rears would need to be usable. I will be cleaning them up, so not looking to spend a lot on them and have time to search.

65 full size front inner fenders

one guy is looking for round port long branch manifolds for his 61 catalina project he has a ton of good pontiac parts and would likely trade if able.

He is also looking for 1 more cal customs valve cover or a set if it's a deal

i'll post more later

I have a polished pair. What do you consider "a deal" for a mint pair?

Our spaces are Q 27-32, Q 127-132 back to back at the end of row near the fence separating the 2 main vendor areas. Nearly straight shot from the second entrance (if traveling south on 51) into the vender area.

I forgot to mention the brisket sandwich and drinks

I was looking for some chrome 17" wheels for my F150 and found a nice set but every time I went by the guys space he wasn't there. After the third time I thought forget it.
