Gilbert show in Pa. coming up. What do you need?

Unread post by rickf » August 30th, 2024, 3:23 pm

I am planning on going to the Gilbert show if all the stars align and I get my RV back from the shop in time. I am not bringing as much stuff this year since I had to pack most of the heavy stuff back home two years in a row. My heart attack two weeks ago has let me know it is time to get smarter. I have two A2 gas tanks but I am only going to bring them if someone wants it. You will be asked to pay at least part of the price before I come up. Two years in a row people told me they were GOING TO BE THER TO BUY THE TANK! And two years nothing. This year the tanks are not coming unless I happen to have spare room for one unless someone commits to buying it.

Same with radio mounts, they are heavy and impossible to tie down I have many of them but not bringing unless someone wants it.
Let me know if you are coming and what you need.

Nobody has said anything about what they are looking for in the way of 151 parts so I am most likely not bringing the gas tanks or radio trays. I am not going to bring big heavy stuff that I am likely to have to bring back home. I have had all kinds of issues with my RV so I will be lucky to make it at all.

As long as the RV makes the trip I will be there with the missus and the dog.

Absolutely perfect weather all three days of the show. Good to meet and remeet some of the members and many others I only get to see once a year. This year was so much nicer sleeping in a bed instead of sleeping on an air mattress in a box trailer. I did not get a chance to take too many pictures but one I got I had to track the couple down again after I went searching for my phone and they had moved on. It is good to see young people getting interested in the WWII history. These two had their uniforms spot on right down the the young ladies hairdo and the mans mustache!!!

Even though my wife was there to watch my spot I did not want to wander too far since people like to haggle on price and she is not very good at haggling. There were not all that many 151's there this year from what I saw. The show was smaller than most years due to another show on the same weekend not all that far away. I am hoping they do not do that again next year.
