Re: West Coast Mini-Meet
Those of us who showed up for the Mini-Meet yesterday had a good time talking trucks. We learned that Don has several more 60-66 trucks besides the three listed on his posts to the forum. And we learned that Rod is swapping out the 401 in his motor home bus for a Cummins diesel. Some spare parts exchanged hands. Unfortunately we had three no-shows (Rick, Dan, and Justin) so there was only one 60-66 truck that showed up (mine).
People in the photo, left to right, are Ed Snyder, David Leifheit, Don Shute, Rod Johnson, and Don's son Mathew. Vehicles are my one ton Suburban, Don's Chevy pickup, and Rod's diesel Jetta. David's wife took the photo.
David, Don, and Matt took off after the meet was over. Rod and I went on into the Antique Powerland (recently renamed to Powerland Heritage Park). There's so much to see there (14 museums) that we went our separate ways once inside. I spent most of my time inside the truck museum. I'll post separately later with some of the photos I took there.
We all agreed that we need to do another West Coast Mini-Meet next year. Location and date to be determined! Let's hope for a bigger turnout next time!
