Portland swap meet

[rmk57]

Are there any Bronco vendors that attend the Portland swap meet in April?
Thinking of heading down to it and could save a bit on shipping if I ordered ahead of time.

In the many years I went to the swap meet there, I don't recall any EB vendors. Mostly junk parts for sale I'm surprised anyone would be interested in. Some nice complete vehicles for sale, though usually asking too much IMO.

I've never see any Bronco vendors there. As NoHay said there is quite a bit of junk parts. However I've found a couple of good finds there over the years. Then again I'm the guy who will spend 10 hours cleaning and painting an old original part before spending $50 on a new part.

If you've never been it's fun to go just for the experience. There shear number of people and parts in one place is staggering. I've come to understand the mind of a gambling addict there, "my next big score may be in that booth over there, gotta keep going". Seriously, I don't take my family there any more. They just get bored when I'm rummaging through boxes or mad when they can't keep up as I race past all the stalls with chevy parts.

No, I've never been and thinking of going to make it a bit of a holiday. Could always drive further south and stop at TBP.

A friend of mine ordered a windshield from classic auto glass then picked it up at the swap meet as they have a stall their. Saved about 1/2 the cost on shipping on a $300 windshield. It wasnt Bronco glass.

I've been lots of times,, but you better bring your walking shoes, it would take at least 2 days to see it all. There's a guy from Idaho who always shows up with Bronco parts, great prices to, bought several things from him last year. It's an Awesome adventure.

Very few Bronco parts but always something. Don’t forget there are 2 separate swap meets going on - Expo & the Track
