48Dodger Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) I know not everyone goes between the car side and the truck side of the website.....so I just wanted to remind all the car guys, as always, you are invited to the Tailgate BBQ! Its a fun way to meet a lot of the folks on this forum and a great way to learn about the vehicles. Sometimes a guy has a running chevy or ford (cuz he's still building his dream Dodge) and wants to know if he can bring that....of course! Follow this link to the truck side and join the conversation......I'll have the flyer ready to go soon. 11th Annual BBQ If you look at links below my post (I understand the links don't show up on the mobile site) you can read the older truck show posts from 2008-2017. Hope to see you there! Tim aka 48Dodger Edited January 18, 2018 by 48Dodger 2 Quote

Hope to see you there! Tim aka 48Dodger Hi Tim, I haven't received a call back from you since the last BBQ. I was wondering if you might have a part I need for my 1937 1.5 Ton Truck. Despite my efforts to reach you, no one seems to have your number. You bought the 1939 1.5 Ton hood ornament from me. I had my wife and two boys with us. Thanks Tim Quote
Gregarious13 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Posted January 22, 2018 Planning to bring the Coronet if we get the fuel system straightened out in time. It will be the first real drive! Greg 2 Quote

Gregarious13 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Posted January 24, 2018 Tim, anything I can be of assistance with prior to or during the BBQ? Greg Quote
48Dodger Posted January 26, 2018 Author Report Posted January 26, 2018 Hey Greg, Thanks for the offer!!! I can always use a bit of help. The BBQ deal is on Saturday, and those who travel a ways usually show up a day early to lend a hand. By all means, its not a requirement, but if you like, I'll soon be posting a few days where I'll need some help and buy everyone pizza. Sunnyvale is about 2 hours from my place (grew up in San Jose) so its a big deal for you to make a trip like that. If you need to check the route out, or just wanna stop by, give me a holler and I'll buy you lunch for the effort! Thank you my friend for thinking of my back! lol Tim aka 48Dodger Quote
48Dodger Posted January 26, 2018 Author Report Posted January 26, 2018 The BBQ is a super friendly event. No entry fee, no food to buy, etc.....it's more like a family reunion, except with a bunch of old Cars and Trucks. I do have a donation gas tank to help off-set the cost.....but with so many who make a long trip to be there, I mean, anything over an hour to me is a long trip for an old ride. I have no problem not making money with it, just happy to see everyone!.... There's many who come from the four regions of California: Coast, Desert, Central Valley and Mountains....but there are folks whose travel even further to meet friends from the forum: Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New York, Oz, and more..... Its awesome. I truly enjoy seeing people meet each for the first time, especially after chatting online for years, its a unique experience. Hope to see you there, Tim aka 48Dodger 1 1 Quote

pflaming Posted January 27, 2018 Report Posted January 27, 2018 Tim came to my shop with a truck and trailer and hauled my fire damaged truck to his place to have it at the BBQ. He invited my wife and grandkids for Friday night in his home an the BBQ. The kids still talk about that week end. TKS Tim! 3 Quote

countrytravler Posted February 8, 2018 Report Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) This was my 1st outing and my last in 2012. It was the most unorganized show that I have been to in my 45 years of doing car events. People were rude falling down drunk. The hamburgers taste like a week old White Castle. You had to relieve yourself in the back 40s. The music was being piped in from a vacuum tube 50s radio. Evan had a starving HOARSE starting to eat the back end of a pickup truck!!!! Evan had an eagle flying around pooping on people and would fly in and take the hamburger out of your hand. We had a hurricane come through and took out the tent that provided the shade from the 120 heat. They give away pistons from a blown up engine for trophies etc etc etc!!! On the last but least NOTE!! They even had a fire pit that somehow they dug a 200 ft hole and the people they did not like, they pushed them in to see if they could hear a thump. OK!! I'm back on my MEDS!! SHOULD I SAY MORE!!! THIS WILL BE MY 6TH YEAR GOING. WOULD NOT MISS IT FOR NOTHING. ITS THE GREATEST SHOW ON Earth!! The only statement that is true in the small black print was the starving hoarse eating the truck. lol!!!! Edited February 8, 2018 by countrytravler 1 Quote

They were so desperate for trucks to come, TIM loaded his trailer to go get this truck that was involved in a garage fire. The truck backfired and from all the gas that was passed from the people looking at the truck. NOW you know the rest of the story. LOL Edited February 9, 2018 by countrytravler Quote
