Jon brought a propane grill to cook lunch, but he forgot a spatula. Spencer had a duplex outlet cover, Alan had vice grips and I had a body hammer... therefore, we had a spatula.

@bucket you got an idea how many at the show?

I don't know, but I was surprised by the turnout of trucks, despite there being a threat of rain all day. It did rain lightly a few times too. I'd guess there was about as many trucks as last year. They normally post that info on their Facebook page, but Kathleen hasn't went looking for it yet.

We all made it back home with no issues, I'm hoping @legopnuematic did as well.

On the way home, I managed to get my wing window to stay open for most of the trip. The bottom post is broken off.

Looks like a fun time was had by all....that red one with the wide whitewalls (nope not my jam!) was "interesting" but the rest of em look like trucks I would have enjoyed looking closer at. That Willoway Green 75-76 GMC being a familiar looking face to be sure.... Dad's 75 Sierra Classic was white on the sides and top, and C not K. But I do remember that grille and mint green color, and so many shades of green inside. So many duallies and Crew Cabs, saw some Burbs too. I have racked up a few zillion miles in a square body truck or Burb over the years....
And of course, glad for y'all that there were no mechanical issues with anyone's trucks on the trip. Those make trips be "not fun" real quick....

Yeah, that truck with the white walls was definitely not my cup of tea either. But there was just so much going on, the more you looked at it, the more you would see.

I took several pictures of the yellow truck with the stripes, mostly because it was like it was the 80's all over again. I talked to the owner, his wife usually drives it to take his kid fishing. They were the ones that hand painted the tailgate.

And yes, it amazes me every year, the amount of 8-lug 4x4's that show up. Which is odd because at any local car show I ever go to, you see a few C10's and that's usually it.

Definitely the most K30’s I’ve ever seen. Majority single wheel too. Lots of desirable Dana 60 srw fronts.

Pretty good representation of the various configurations and styles of these trucks overall.

It was great to meet Andy (and most of his family), along with Jon (Blue C30 Crew), and Alan (Tan 87 C20). I will definitely be sure to make room on the calendar for next years gathering.
