norrism1 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Anyone planning on going to Carlisle for the truck show this August? I haven't been there since 97 but thought I might get time this year if work isn't crazy. Quote
Rich Gengo Posted March 18, 2008 Report Posted March 18, 2008 I was there 2 years ago and was drowned out by all the tuner trucks blasting the base on their radios. Very disappointing . I'll stick to going to the all Mopar show in July. Quote
Vintrader Posted March 18, 2008 Report Posted March 18, 2008 It sure has changed in the last few years, But I go every year. The parts swap meet is still pretty good. Maybe we can get together there. Dutch P.S. What about Macungie ? Quote
MBF Posted March 18, 2008 Report Posted March 18, 2008 Here's where you can find out all about Macungie, and a great organization. http://www.antiquetruckclubofamerica.org/ We're looking for more MoPar guys. One of our members drove a PH from NJ to Colorado Springs last year for the national ATHS show. I've met the guy and have spoken with one of the guys that went with him in a Ford. 5 days of pedal to the metal! Mike Quote
norrism1 Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Posted March 18, 2008 I'm thinking of the Mopar show too. Don't think it matters what show you go too, tuners blast ya no matter where ya are nowdays. Quote
grey beard Posted March 18, 2008 Report Posted March 18, 2008 I have lived close to Carlile most of my life and have visited most of the shows in past years. The last few truck shows were total disappointments - lots of empty spaces and virtually NO Pilothouse trudks or parts. I'm convcinced the only peo0ple wo do well at Carlisle are the show owners, whoomever they are. Spring and fall meets are a blast due to sheer size, and you dan walk all day and not see it all. My favorite all-time show is Macungie, PA, as Mike says. Best trudk show going, it's shady, it's free and it usually has at least 500 trucks to see PLUS a pretty fair size phlea market. JMHO Quote
Paul Beard Posted March 18, 2008 Report Posted March 18, 2008 I am surly going to Macungie with or without my PH this year. Quote
Rich Gengo Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 The Mopar show has always been good. It's always packed and not much junk.And if your into racing they have the 1/8 mile track on the other side of town. I've been to the Mcungie truck show a few times and it is nice. Not a lot of regular trucks and next to no hot rods. They do seem to draw a ton of big rigs and some very nice really old and odd trucks. Quote

Todd B Posted March 24, 2008 Report Posted March 24, 2008 what do you mean? H,I, J Of any brand Quote
MBF Posted March 24, 2008 Report Posted March 24, 2008 Pickups are welcome and always have been providing they're 25 yrs old or older. You can obtain the registration form at the website www.antiquetruckclubofamerica.org/ This year the show is featuring trucks with manufacturing names beginning with H, I, or J, but all are welcome. We just feature different manufacturers every year. I think the D year was in '06 and there were a lot of Dodges, Divcos, etc along with all of the other brands. Mike Quote
