I went up to Barrie yesterday,took my dad along for the ride.I you were looking for that hard to get part for your truck,this is the place to find it.My dad has a 55 fairlane,he found some chrome parts at a good price.I Found a glove box door and several other small parts.One guy I had bought from lives close to me and didn,t know it,was very good to deal with .He has a complete box for my 49 .

 

Family threw a surprise Bday party for my wife and I kinda had to be there LOL.

I went to the one in the early summer and planned on attending this past wkends too but you know what they say , plans of mice and men.


Rick.

 

I was there, did ok too. Bought a tool box, a set of 4 snow tires, some hard to find dash trim for a friends mopar, hood hinge springs for my '47 and made contact with a vendor who has more '47 stuff.
Stayed away from the cars 4sale lot, no more room at home and I might have been tempted again!

 

Was this along 11 north of Barrie? I saw it on my way back from a weekend in Huntsville...

 

Yup, in Oro. South of Orillia, north of Barrie.
So you didn't stop and take the family on a quest for junk!?

 

I had no idea until I passed it, and made the connection when I saw some people with old junk pulled over on the side of the 400.

No budget for junk right now, getting $$ put back together after moving etc.

 

Was up there as well, but still was not able to find the piece I was looking for.

I was/am looking for the "C" in Mercury for the front of my 52 Merc M3.

If anyone knows where I could get one, I'd appreciate a point in the right direction, getting tired of driving a MER_URY!! LOL

 

Hey Bluz, welcome aboard! You should ask our friends over in the Manitoba/Saskatchewan chapter. I think some of those guys have some spare Mercury parts kicking around.

 

I jsut looked on ebay theres a wack of em

and special intrest automotive in oakville will have what you want .. maybe even LMC trucks.com

 

Dad drove me down in my '79 one ton dually truck. We had Ford truck parts galore to sell. Truck has a 8' wide x 15' long flatbed, full of parts plus we were hauling a tent trailer. I spent about $400 in gas round trip plus $165 for our lot. Sales for the weekend was $135. I won't be going back there. I pilled up the parts that didn't sell and left them there on our lot. Couldn't afford the gas with the extra weight on.
