If'n you ain't into trucks, don't go no further!!!! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif

<span style="font-size: 14pt">Wx cleared up (much needed rain) this a.m so i headed over to the &quot;fall&quot; swap meet in Springfield Ohio. Plenty of vendors and the International Harvesters were the featured vehicle. Some cool rides. I sure Iike those IH trucks....very rugged and utilitarian!!!! IH had a factory right here in Springfield so there was a good gathering.</span>

<span style="font-size: 14pt">This 70 Camper Special was still owned by the original owner - came all the way up from Boone, NC! He bought this loaded IH after the original folks who ordered the truck were arrested for a series of violent robberies in Danbury, Conn In 1970 <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif !!!!!</span>!

I used to go to that meet quite a bit in the past with a buddy who sold parts. Always found some good stuff there. Quite a haul for me.
