Large GMT400 Meet

[454C2500Longbed]

There is also Southern Illinois Truck Showdown which is a great show in IL and is only getting better each year. @618 Syndicate is the inside man for the scoop on that show.

Do they have good trucks there or is it all the numbskulls with mall crawlers?

I would love to go to some thing like that but sadly it is not do able for me unless I was able to catch a ride with a fellow member

Why's that? I'm sure there's someone in your area that would oblige.

I have pretty serious visual impairment and can not drive or at least not on public roads and highways any way

Ah, there are some sweet trucks. Not really a fan of the modern stuff in classic trucks but cool nonetheless. I'll have to look into that show.

Be sure to take photos. I should have my GMC up for daily duty by then but I know I won’t have the front end redone with cut coils. And I’d hate to show up with my squat truck.

My truck definitely won’t be “done” by then, I won’t have the fenders painted, just in primer. And a whole list of small stuff would still need done I’m sure.

I’ve never been. I’ve made plans twice to go and twice I’ve fell short. Not for 2024 though. I’m going. Even if I have to take my car trailer with a pile of parts, wax them, and put them in a spot.

618’s vid is proof, it’s an awesome show. Definitely one to keep an eye out for. It’s only going to get better and receive more coverage.

Back to your point - it would probably be relatively affordable to rent a fair ground for the weekend. If everyone pooled together that is.

I’ve got one rust hole in my cab corner that makes me not want to even drive it until it’s all been fixed and repainted.

I’m more excited to drive my K2500 because the paint is roached and there’s a ton of dings on it.

I might go if I can make my truck look halfway decent haha.

Fair ground sounds like a good idea, how many people can we get interested? Probably should make up a list of everyone that would be interested in coming.
