Since nobody's spoken up with a preference, let's nail it down and say it will be on Sunday the 27th. That will allow us out-of-towners all day Saturday to get to our hotel is Salem. And give us time Sunday after the meet to drive back home again. Any objections to meeting Sunday around 9 or 10 AM at the Antique Powerland in Brooks? We need all of you who have expressed an interest in coming to actually show up to make it a worthwhile event for everyone.

Ok, Sunday morning 28th works for me.
Does anyone want to meet for breakfast, and if so, where?
I do not know the area well enough to have any suggestions.

Rod -- I'm sure the hotel I'll be staying at ( https://www.crosslandstudios.com/crossland-salem-north/ ) will be serving breakfast. You're welcome to join me there!

Rod, Don, and I will each be driving over 200 miles to get to Brooks. I hope that at least some of the rest of you (Rick, Dan, David, Justin) who have expressed interest in coming to the Antique Powerland in Brooks and live a lot closer will actually show up too. I'd hate to think I'd drive all that way (at 11 MPG) and be the only one to show up.

As a reminder, the mini-meet is this coming Sunday. Try to be there by 9 AM. Bringing your V6 powered truck is preferred, but not required. I'll be bringing my one ton Suburban.

My cell is 541-840-0001.

I have a room booked for Saturday evening at the Rodeway Inn in north Salem.

I do not have anything GMC V-6 powered, that is currently roadworthy. I will be driving down in my old VW Jetta.

I am looking forward to the trip, and seeing y'all on Sunday.
My Cell phone is: (425) 466-0884

I just posted a note in the GMC V-6 motor area; that I have a complete rebuilt and resurfaced 14" dual disc clutch and flywheel setup for the eight bolt 478M (and probably the 432). I also have the large SAE bell housing, and a starter that fits the flywheel and bell housing.
I know it is short notice, but I could bring it to Salem this weekend if there is any interest.

I have not had the money to get mine roadworthy, and now that I have employment and the potential for money, I don't have the time!!

Just finished, hopefully, fixing the daughter's jeep. Maybe it will run longer than a couple weeks before something else breaks down.

I plan on being there. Will likely be in my Dodge Dakota truck since I am delivering a desk and computers after the meet. Wife might drive the daughter's Jeep in hopes they can coordinate so she can get her Jeep back. Daughter has a '92 YJ Wrangler, wife has a '96 Grand Cherokee Limited.

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!
