The great Southwest Swap Meet returns at the ballpark in Arlington Texas. Its been over a decade since it was last held at the Rangers ballpark parking lot and now it's back for 2022. I remember going to the last one I believe back in either 08 or 09 before it was moved to Decatur. I'm guessing they thought since the Decatur swap meet is so popular that it was also do well there. It did not. They moved it to Texas Motor Speedway where the great Pate Swap meet is held but it kept going downhill. I never thought it would ever be back to where it began and was so successful. Well Southwest Classics in Arlington Texas became the new promoter and brought it back. Things have obviously changed since it was last at the ballpark. Arlington has grown so much and property is much more expensive now to rent now. So while it could have been a little better, it was a success in my book even with the rain on Friday. Saturday saw some light drizzle but plenty of people came out. Hopefully next year will be better.

Thanks for walking around in the rain for an hour or so, to bring us this video! Dad and I used to go to this meet in the 80s and 90s, was worth the drive from Houston then. Gas was a little bit cheaper though!

The Pontiac had me right away...I just need the budget to purchase and haul home. I enjoy a swap meet, but my problem is I always want what I see 😁

Oh yeah I love these! Pretty long too 😁 I wonder if he'll run into someone playing music and have to cut the video off at some point lol

It never fails. Music is always at these meets. KZfaq got me in my last swap meet video. Had to go back and delete the music or else I would have had to share ad revenue with the copyright owner

Whoa Nelley, someone put a VIN and we win: C for 2WD, S for six cylinder equipped, 1 for 1/2 ton, 4 for pickup and box, 7 for 1967 model year, S for St. Louis, MO assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The St. Louis plant also produced the Corvette until June 1, 1981 when production was moved to Bowling Green, KY where it is today. Possible code 516 Orange exterior paint. That's quite the collection of minibikes. I had one, got it in December 1982, from a neighbor who started driving and didn't want it anymore. Bought another one with a frame for $20 and made one out of two. By 1984, the Tecumseh H40 blew up because it was not taken care of before I got it. I still have the frames for them in my shed, but they will need extensive work down the road. My mom wouldn't talk to my dad for a week after he brought the bike home. LOL. That's a 10th Anniversary 280ZX. I believe GMAC featured one some time ago. Pretty funny that the Porta Potty units are by the hot dog vendor. LOL. Mr. Magante featured a four door version of that style 1948 Chevrolet the other day. That light green Chevrolet truck would look so much better at stock ride height. That 1993 Caprice would have a TBI engine, the LT1 was available from 1994 to 1996. The first year for the OBS truck was 1988.

I live the patina of that 67 Pontiac. (At least while the paint is wet) Live the Rambler 2 dr as well! The 57 Chev wgn cool but way out of my price range. The 58 Bel Air seemed not bad for the price. Thanks Benny for including the prices when you could and getting damp and numb for us.

Looks like you go to one Texas swap, you have already seen what will be for sale at the next one.

Conroe wasn't that great this time around. February meet there is usually better (unless the weather is really bad). Those Buick wheels are for the midsize cars, 5 on 4 3/4 lug pattern, 7/16" studs. The other style is the full size car ones, like the trailer has on it that the white '58 Chevy is on. Those are 5 on 5 lug pattern, 1/2" studs. Usually 6" wide but there's a 7" wide version that was used on the '77-'90 Estate Wagon, I have a pair of those that were spares from when we had our '82 Estate Wagon. The prices on nice OBS trucks are going up big-time. That black '91 Chevy Sport is actually a reasonable price for that truck. Short bed regular cabs are hard to find under $12K.... That's why I jumped on the '97 I got in July, under 125,000 miles and only $5K. Of course it's a CCLB 1 ton, but it'll do whatever I need it to....

Not a Chevy guy, but that 72 4x4 is cool. You just don't see them unmolested like that. Ditto for the 67 Gimmy too actually AND I'm with Ya on the B&M Ratshitifter.
