I wish I could go...have to take too many days off from work though, to go. That's two days each way from Houston....

Wished they would move it to the Spring. Too damned hot in TN in July lol

Wow, you drive slow. Google maps pegs it at a little over 12 hours.

Wow, you drive slow. Google maps pegs it at a little over 12 hours.

In our younger days, we'd make a run like that, straight through. Now we'll stop every couple of hours to walk around and make a pit stop. And sometimes it can take two hours just to get out of the Houston area....
Google Maps also uses an average speed of 65-70 mph too, and you're not always going to be able to go that fast.

I plan to be there. Gonna invite a couple of buddies to join me and camp out nearby for a (straight)guys weekend-heat be damned.

It was a great show. The used part swap area had lots of great stuff and the big name vendors were there in force. And yes, it was hot! Funny thing it was just a few miles north from the Nashville Superspeedway where the C10 Nationals are held every fall.

Great show and it didn't rain on Saturday.

Long distance winner was from San Diego, CA.

It was good seeing you again this year @PeteJr

I told a few guys I see from Alabama every year that I spent more time catching up with buddies this year than I did looking at trucks!! I didn't get many pics this year either but there was some neat stuff there as always and the swap meet had a lot of deals if you needed any parts. I hope I am in the home stretch on my truck finally but I still didn't have the square done enough to drive down.

Same here Travis. Less photos and looking at trucks, more time with "event friends."
It has become more about the ride to and from and seeing friends.
Take care !

At the 2024 show we bought a new but dented LMC fender off a guy at the swap for $25. Had a few dings and we all know about the fit, but it was fine for a daily driver. I bought another scratch and dent LMC hood at the swap meet this year for $70. It had the year specific molding in front for the 78-80 trucks. It was brand new and again, damaged in shipping. So, what the heck, I walk over to the LMC booth on vendor's row and ask about their fenders. They have one RH fender for a 79 in stock. I ask to see it out of the cardboard before I pay for it. I told the salesman I've heard stories about LMC fit and finish and damage during shipping. He says "If I won't put it on my own truck, I won't sell it." Lol.
He opened the packaging and sure enough, the fender was dented in two places. He offered to knock $50 off the sale.

It was hot but had a good breeze all day. Beer. Walk around. Eat. Beer. Walk around. Great day overall. Definitely worth the trip. My buddy Dan, who had never been to an all day car or truck show was funny. "This is my favorite", "This is my new favorite", and so forth- fifteen times. He needs a classic truck.
