seal beach car show - saturday april 27th...
by chris travers
The annual Orange Count Rite of Spring, better
known as the Seal Beach Car Show was once
again a big hit. This event is so popular that each
year they sell entries for the following year’s show
one year ahead of time... And it sells out! Thanks to Glenn
Kerr presenting many members to the show committee as
event judges. We are “allowed” to be a big part of this event
and have our own private parking lot that is front and center
to the entire show.
We met at our usual spot in Sunset Beach for the easy
cruise into the venue. Our reserved parking spot gave us
the benefit of showing up a bit later than most of the
others while still maintaining a prime parking spot. GOOD
JOB GLENN!
Besides the huge (525) number of beautiful vehicles, this
show does one of the best jobs of bringing families together
at a car show. There were games, stickers, balloons and
other goodies to keep the kids interested but most of them
just enjoyed looking at the hardware.
According to the City, over 10,000 people were walking up
and down Main Street
taking everything in. The
local Chamber of Commerce provides shuttles
to and from the pier to
make access and parking
easy for everybody.
If you missed this show,
make your plans for next
year NOW!

Get Ready For the F-100 Western Nationals
By Steve Stillwell
I was taking notes at this month’s past meeting and realized how the
growth of Pickups Limited’s membership paralleled the growth of the F-100
Western Nationals. As a matter of fact, there is little doubt a number of new
members joined the club due to a very positive experience at the Western
Nats!
While I had rubbed flesh and enjoyed a long friendship with a number of
OC members during my 30+ years as editor of Truckin’ and StreetTrucks magazines, it wasn’t until
January of 2004 that I officially joined the club and built my first Ford F-100 custom truck. Like I said,
I had attended and documented hundreds of F-100 events through my magazine years including
Pickups Limited’s Truckin’ Nationals which had a number of locations through the years, the most
memorable being the ones held in and around Havasu. Unfortunately, the last Truckin’ Nationals held
in Havasu was on a black asphalt parking lot where the pavement literally melted and the once
overflow crowd had diminished to about 50 trucks and one vendor.
Fast forward a few years as The Super Tour was held instead of the Nationals. Great memories which
will last a lifetime. The following year, the event’s name was changed to the F-100 Western Nationals
and the growth of this event was on a positive roll. The park-like atmosphere and cooler temperatures
of the Anaheim Hills has continued to lure a growing number of specialized classic pickup parts vendors
and a growing number of show attendees.
When I joined Pickups Limited, OC in 2004, the club had dwindled down to about seven active
members. Since then, the club has gone through many changes and adopted a very positive attitude
towards growing our membership by becoming more visible at events, creating club art that we are
all proud to wear, having an established meeting place and time and hosting the West coast’s finest
classic Ford truck event.
As a new member, it is now your turn to welcome fellow Ford truck enthusiasts to our show. We will
all be wearing light colored shirts, white or light grey with the club’s logo proudly displayed so you will
be easily recognized. Please take time to extend a handshake to our visitors and fellow Pickups Limited
Chapter members, just like we did when you visited the F-100 Western Nationals for the first time.
I consider every member to be a personal friend and look forward to this annual event to be able to
greet many individuals that we only get to see once a year. Wear your OC shirt, share a smile and be
ready to shake the hands of many fellow Ford truck lovers at this year’s F-100 Western Nationals.

31st F100 Western Nationals - June 22nd
It’s that time of the year again
Since I was assigned to be the chairman of the show in 2006 by Jeff Hornsby, I have been honored to
work with many talented people over the years in the OC Chapter of Pickups Limited. The quality of the
show is the result of our members. No one person can take all the credit since we are just the caretakers of a show that started 31 years ago.
But as a group, the progress and development of the show we can take credit and feel proud of what
we accomplished as a group. Here are two examples of ideas and how we work together. Back in
2006 the creation of the show program was started as an idea from Steve Stillwell and shared it with
Chris Travers and I. Since then Chris has done an excellent job with the design and development of this
document. Chris also developed our bi-monthly chapter News Letter.
The Friday Cruise was started by Jeff Hornsby and the first one was called the “Jeff’s Beach Cruise”.
Jeff wanted to do something fun before the show and after Jeff died Chris Travers continued the Friday
Cruise and each year, has surpassed the previous one.
There is a show committee of key members assigned to different tasks and they select members to
help them in those tasks. These tasks are pre-registration, day of registration, parking, venue and vendors layout, music, raffle and 50/50, show program, Friday cruise, awards, show historian, and clean
up.
It takes a complete dedicated group year round to do a show like the F100 Western Nationals and
I have been honored to guide our group along the way.
See you at the show,

... by chris travers
It is promoted as the West Coast’s Largest
Antique Auto, Corvette, Porsche, Street Rod and
Volkswagen Swap Meet and Classic Car Show
and they mean it. Even in slow economic times,
the wait at the gate for as many as 2,500 cars
to enter can be long and with 2,700 vendor
spaces, the choices of what to buy even longer.
I usually have all I can handle to see all of the
cars parked on display or to sell let alone walk
through the entire swap meet. In fact, I have
never even made it to the VW/Porche side of
the event as I’m usually too tired to do the extra
walking. But with an estimated 20,000 people
total in attendance, one thing for sure is that the
for over 38 years of it’s existence, entertainment
factor is always pushing red line.
Not a bad turnout for breakfast at IHOP in
San Dimas. We caught up with a few other
members inside the swap meet.
We had barely turned off our ignitions when
a photographer ran up to us asking if he
could take some shots of our trucks with his
“girls”. Of course we HAD to say yes.
So you have never been to Pomona? You
need to either get there real early or around
8:30 like we do to avoid a huge wait in line
Here is a working ‘56 deluxe cab with the genuine TUXEDO
(white top) OPTION
Dusty and Rudy were trying to figure out how they could fit into
this midget and drive it into the sunset
I can understand Scott Kastelitz
finding a FLying Eyeball at the
Pomona Swap Meet but...
Chevy parts? Come on Tudy... let’s work on that Ford!
... feeling a strong urge for a genuine Simplex time clock? Now
that’s strange for sure.
There is always that
one man party that
has too much fun...
Rudy brought a friend that is looking for a truck that is a bit less of a project than
this one
We knew that we would find Scott, Mike
Briggs from BOBCO and “T” in their
regular spot up front. These guys
never miss the swap meet.
seal beach from page 1
The chairs were set up on the sidewalk but these two girls
prefered to sit in Dad’s ‘65 Bug Eye Sprite
Roy Fjastad of West Coast Street Rods in Huntington Beach proudly took us
for a tour of his daily driver “Rat Rod” done right. Roy says that he has put
about 40,000 miles on his ride over the past 4 years
Jeff Neely got the Best of Show nod from Dusty and I for this
outstanding ‘62 Impala. there were plenty of over-the-top
cars but with this one, Jeff proudly said “I did it all myself”
The grill ornament on this classic Chevy says it all$$$$$$
Ladies, watch out for that Norm Marshall guy... the camera caught him
making his patented “move” on “the girl friend”
Here is a Chick Magnet in Training. After he finished putting all of those
stickers on his skateboard, he went out and collected even more stickers.
Ah, The Beach!
The magic behind every outstanding vehicle is always
found in the smallest of details. From original window
stickers to a trunk full of period perfect maps, cleaners,
and other chemicals, local car shows display the finest in creativity. Take the guys that showed up with the
two Helms Bakery trucks. These guys not only had the
vehicles down pat, but they found or re-created tons of
detailed product packaging to bring back fond memories
of that whistle blowing and those jelly donuts. Drive in
memorabilia is always popular as is local drag racing
flash backs, but check out that ROUSH motor that has
all of the plug wires clocked perfectly around the valve
cover. WOW... THAT’S DETAIL!
What’s going on at chopit kustoms?
Who says that all the
guys at Chopit Kustoms
work on are Lowriders,
Lead Sleds, and Bubble
Tops.
During a recent visit I
counted no less than
EIGHT trucks in various
stages of construction,
including two F-100’s! Yep it’s true.
Is there some type of transformation
going on since these guys moved
out west a little more than two
years ago? Who knows for sure but
that is Nick “Chopit Jr.” Fioto posing
next to his own latest acquisition...
yep this F-100 is slated to be a
“Shop Truck” in the near future.
The other projects include “C” notching the frame on a Chevy, finishing
up two El Caminos’ a ‘46 Ford and a
‘53 F-100 “project gone bad” that a
customer brought in to have
re-worked and finished.
What’s up with us...
Once again Mike Hay gets some ink with th eformal club debuet of his wife’s Nash. Mike opened
up the hood for everybody to see how he managed to wedge in that
5.0 motor and AOD combo.
Lenny Manestar proudly displays his Club and Chapter
plaques that he earned at the recent Safety Check
reprint from Hot Rod Magazine... November 2012
Who wants to represent
Pickups Limited in the Braille
Rallye this year? The 2013
event will be held on Saturday
July 27th. Last year two of us
participated and it was a fun
rewarding event.
Basically, it’s a real sports car
rallye that pairs a navigator
who can’t see the road with
a driver who can’t read the
instructions. You’ll be paired
up with a blind student from
the Braille institute who will
serve as your navigator. He or
she will read to you the rallye
instructions which are written
in braille. There will be a luncheon and awards ceremony
at the end of the rallye.
YOU MUST GET YOUR
APPLICATION IN BY JULY
15th. THERE IS A $15 REGISTRATION FEE PAYABLE ON
THE DAY OF THE RALLYE.
THIS FEE INCLUDES THE PURCHASE OF A SHIRT FOR YOUR
STUDENT.
ADDITIONAL SHIRTS MAY BE
PURCHASED FOR $10 EACH,
ALSO PAYABLE ON DAY OF
THE RALLYE.
REMEMBER: The primary purpose of the Braille Rallye is to
give the students a fun incentive to aid in their mastery of
Braille, increase reading skills, and gain confidence in communicating with the sighted world.
The organizers of the Braille Rallye are well aware of the increasing costs of operating vehicles these
days. We sincerely hope that it will not deter you from participating in this year’s event. This day is
one of the most important days for the students participating in the Braille Institute Youth Programs
throughout Southern California; one that motivates them to learn and to be-come proficient in Braille
and large print reading. Please don’t disappoint them.

Safety check...
saturday march 16th ... by Chris Travers
FFICIAL
Well, it looks safe to me...
what do you think Louie?
TESTER
The 2013 Orange County
Chapter Safety Check has
come and gone with no
serious problems uncovered.
Sure there was the standard
loose this and leaking that
D O N UT
with a few surprises thrown
in for giggles but overall it
shows that we take good
care of these old trucks and
pay them the respect that a 50+ year old vehicle demands.
O
What makes this event so good is that everybody has the
opportunity to get up close with their truck as well as those
of the other members. We often see some great ideas
and apply them to our truck like the removable cross
member that Rich and Larry have on their trucks under
the transmission or the floor jack locator pad that I use
under the radiator support on mine. It’s all cool stuff and
helps to feed what seems to be a constant upgrading
process that we perform and have grown to love with our
trucks. That’s what makes this Chapter so much fun.
Once again Glenn Kerr provided the use of his extensive
shop at Glenn’s Brake & Alignment so that we could get
every truck on a lift, pull brake drums for inspection, and
go over all of the other items on our 50+ item checklist.
We do a better and much more complete chedk on the
trucks of Pickups Limited than the National Street Rod
Association, and Goodguys combined! Who’s the king of
the hill now?
Glenn’s staff can fix
anything with just
one squirt!
Mas really knows his way around a grill or stove. Don’t
get in his way when he has cooling tools in his hand.
The day wrapped up with some great burgers thanks to
Chef Mas and his kitchen boy Norm. Thanks to them,
Glenn and all members in attendance for supporting this
annual event.
We even had
our own Ice
Box Girl!
As always, there was a great turnout of
good looking Fat Fendered Fords
Our newest member Louis Gagliardotto
learned the importance of our safety
check with the discovery of a cross
support/shock mount that was totally
ripped apart.
Abe Roybal found out that the clown
that assembled his rear brakes had the
shoes reversed... Abe’s entire rear end
and suspension came from your Editor
during my C-4 suspension swap.
Bill Crisel received the news that the
passenger side mounting tab on his
transmission was stripped and the bold
had almost fallen out! This was an easy
fix with two washers and a lock nut.
You can also learn some good things
by checking out other trucks too. Look
at this modified cross member on Rich
Miller’s black truck. The welded flanges
and bolts make this item removable
which is really important when you want
to replace that transmission.
Don Walz once again provided the
comedy highlight of the day with this
hidden wrench trick. As “his story
goes” he was bleeding his brakes a few
weeks before and decided to leave the
wrench in place for easy access. Don
states that he will stick with that story.
The Prez Steve Stillwell has a
reoccurring problem with the boots on
his steering rack. Once again the boot
had come loose and was beginning to
lead on that beautiful orange frame.
Nobody could figure out what the
dangling red wire was for on Rich
Miller’s truck. As it was red and looked
to be some type of hot lead, it was taped
out of the way. Rich later discovered
that it was the hot lead for his sound
system amp.
Now here are two guys sharing their
total satisfaction in a days work well
done... or are they just happy that they
kept their hands clean throughout the
day?

USPS Muscle Cars Stamps
Issue Date: February 22, 2013
With the issuance of the Muscle Cars (Forever®) stamps, the U.S. Postal
Service celebrates five iconic automobiles: the 1966 Pontiac GTO, the
1967 Shelby GT-500, the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, the 1970
Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda, and the 1970 Chevelle SS. Each of these cars
represents the adventurous spirit of the muscle-car era. Fast, powerful,
and eye-catching, muscle cars roared their way onto America's roads in
the 1960s. Typically equipped with big, powerful engines, the five high-performance vehicles depicted
on the stamps represent the era's adventurous spirit.
Artist Tom Fritz based his artwork on photographs of the cars. Fritz said he used bright-colored oil
paints on hardboard to try to “capture the emotive quality of the vehicles.” Growing up in Southern
California, Fritz became familiar with the power of muscle cars. The paintings, Fritz added, are “a
projection of my memories of the vehicles.”
Muscle Cars is the third issuance in the America on the Move series. The stamps were designed by
art director Carl T. Herrman. The first issuance in the series, 50s Sporty Cars (2005), was followed
by 50s Fins and Chrome (2008). The Muscle Cars stamps are being issued as Forever® stamps in
self-adhesive sheets of 20 (4 of each design). Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current
First-Class Mail one-ounce rate.

Editor’s Ramblings... by Chris Travers
After almost a year in exile, I recently brought my 1964
Austin Mini Cooper “S” out of moth balls from within the
Ken Grody warehouse. The Grody folks are kind enough to
allow me to store this “alternative lifestyle” vehicle where is
it safe and dry while the F-100 sleeps at home. This presented the opportunity to attack a growing to-do list on this
interesting creature of a car that can bring smiles, cold
sweats, (just ask Gloria and Steve) and challenges to anybody.
You see after almost 20 years of ownership, I thought it
was finally time to install the radio and tidy up a few electrical issues. More on how to cram 10 pounds of sound
system into a 5 pound bag later, but anything on a pre 70’s
British car that even smells like electrical is dominated by
components made by Lucas Industries. These interesting and creative “bits” as they say across the pond take
on a personality of their own. Try as you might, there is
not enough solder, tape, and other modern connections
to overcome the many obstacles that seem to crop up on
their own. I think it is the vehicles way of getting back at
you like a pet dog does when you come back from a two
week vacation.
Anyway all is well again in Mini land but throughout the project, all I could think about were those great Lucas jokes...
Many of which are based on fact. Enjoy these classics...
• The Lucas motto: “Get home before dark.”
• Lucas denies having invented darkness. But they still claim “sudden, unexpected darkness”
• Lucas--inventor of the first intermittent wiper.
• Lucas--inventor of the self-dimming headlamp.
• The three-position Lucas switch--DIM, FLICKER and OFF. The other three switch settings--SMOKE, SMOLDER and IGNITE.
• The original anti-theft devices--Lucas Electric products.
• I’ve had a Lucas pacemaker for years and have never experienced any prob...
• If Lucas mae guns, wars would not start either.
• Did you hear about the Lucas powered torpedo? It sank.
• It’s not true that Lucas, in 1947, tried to get Parliament to repeal Ohm’s Law. They withdrew their efforts when they met
too much resistance.
• Did you hear the one about the guy that peeked into a Land Rover and asked the owner “How can you tell one switch from
another at night, since they all look the same?” “He replied, it doesn’t matter which one you use, nothing happens!”
• Back in the ‘70s Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only
product they offered which didn’t suck.
• Quality Assurance phoned and advised the Engineering guy that they had trouble with his design shorting out...
So he made the wires longer.
• Why do the English drink warm beer? Lucas made the refrigerators, too.
• Alexander Graham Bell invented the Telephone... Thomas Edison invented the Light Bulb... Joseph Lucas invented
the Short Circuit.
• Recommended procedure before taking on a repair of Lucas equipment: check the position of the stars, kill a chicken and
walk three times sunwise around your car chanting: “Oh mighty Prince of Darkness protect your unworthy servant.”
• Lucas systems actually uses AC current; it just has a random frequency.

If you missed our annual truck inspection at Glenn’s Alignment and
Brake service, you missed our best outing so far this year. Chris again
was my key inspector and with the help of all our brother club members,
this help make this a great day. Glenn’s right hand man Albert Contreras
was my special right hand too in helping do everything we asked of him from I need a tool, to take off
these wheels (please) etc.
Food : Glenn again out did himself this year with hamburgers and all the fixings. Some of our members
rolled up their sleeves especially Mas who could give lessons in cooking. We had over 40 members
in attendance and our wives went out of their way to make this a great outing and take care of each
of us. They also traded or sold some garage finds to each other. We inspected a total of 18 trucks
including San Diego’s Jack Gechter. With a few notations, all passed the inspection. Check out where
Don keeps his special tool.
Ps: I want to thank Chris for my special “twist” donut from Adams Avenue Donuts, home of the Donut
Derelicts Saturday morning cruise.

DEFINITION OF ACCELERATION - restated
One top fuel dragster 500 cubic inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower than the first 4 rows of
stock cars at the Daytona 500.
It takes just 15/100ths of a second for all 6,000+ horsepower of an NHRA Top Fuel dragster engine to reach the rear wheels.
Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1-1/2 gallons of nitro methane per second; a fully
loaded 747 consumes jet fuel at the same rate with 25% less energy being produced.
A stock Dodge Hemi V8 engine cannot produce enough power to drive the dragster’s supercharger.
With 3,000 CFM of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive, the fuel mixture is compressed into a near-solid form before ignition.
Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock at full throttle.
At the stoichiometric (stoichiometry: methodology and technology by which quantities of reactants
and products in chemical reactions are determined) 1.7:1 air/fuel mixture of nitro methane, the
flame front temperature measures 7,050 deg F.
Nitro methane burns yellow.. The spectacular white flame seen above the stacks at night is raw
burning hydrogen, dissociated from atmospheric water vapor by the searing exhaust gases.
Dual magnetos supply 44 amps to each spark plug. This is the output of an arc welder in each cylinder.
Spark plug electrodes are totally consumed during a pass. After halfway, the engine is dieseling from
compression, plus the glow of exhaust valves at 1,400 deg F. The engine can only be shut down by
cutting the fuel flow.
If spark momentarily fails early in the run, unburned nitro builds up in the affected cylinders and then
explodes with sufficient force to blow cylinder heads off the block in pieces or split the block in half.
In order to exceed 300 mph in 4. 5 seconds, dragsters must accelerate an average of over 4G’s. In
order to reach 200 mph (well before half-track), the launch acceleration approaches 8G’s.
Dragsters reach over 300 miles per hour before you have completed reading this sentence.
Top fuel engines turn approximately 540 revolutions from light to light! Including the burnout, the
engine must only survive 900 revolutions under load.
The redline is actually quite high at 9,500 rpm.
Assuming all the equipment is paid off, the crew worked for free, and for once NOTHING BLOWS UP,
each run costs an estimate $1,000.00 per second.
The current top fuel dragster elapsed time record is 4.428 seconds for the quarter mile
(11/12/06, Tony Schumacher, at Pomona , CA). The top speed record is 336.15 mph as
measured over the last 66’ of the run (05/25/05 Tony Schumacher, at Hebron, OH).
Putting all of this into perspective - - You are driving the average $140,000 Lingenfelter ‘twin-turbo’
powered Corvette Z06. Over a mile up the road, a top fuel dragster is staged and ready to launch
down a quarter mile strip as you pass. You have the advantage of a flying start. You run the ‘Vette
hard up through the gears and blast across the starting line and pass the dragster at an honest
200 mph. The ‘tree’ goes green for both of you at that moment. The dragster launches and starts
after you. You keep your foot down hard, but you hear an incredibly brutal whine that sears your
eardrums and within 3 seconds, the dragster catches and passes you. He beats you to the finish
line, a quarter mile away from where you just passed him.
Think about it, from a standing start, the dragster had spotted you 200 mph and not only caught,
but nearly blasted you off the road when he passed you within a mere 1,320 foot long race course.
...... and that my friends, is ACCELERATION!
Give Me A Brake...

The Time Machine
Our classic trucks and cars are a lot of things. One of them being time
machines. They can bring back memories of another era. Let’s look at
1956. Why 1956? No special reason other than many of us are driving a
1956 Ford pick up.
How old were you back then. I was 8 years old. Seems like a long time ago. I still remember driving in
our family car heading to Disneyland for the first time. I couldn’t believe it was really happening. For
an 8 year old it was a big deal.
I wasn’t into cars too much yet. My mode of transpiration
was still human powered and had two wheels, having taken
off my training wheels just months prior. At 5 I had already
taken my bike apart to see how it worked. Took me almost
all day to get it back together. Some things haven’t changed
much.
Chevrolet’s big news for 1956 was the restyled Corvette.
The previous year’s wire mesh covered headlamps were
gone. Deeply inverted coves blended into the doors and
front fenders. From every angle, the Corvette looked fabulous.
Ford’s Lincoln
division was a big player with the launch of its Continental
Mark II 2-door hardtop. The Mark II was a bold move to
test the level of interest for a nearly-$10,000 automobile
at a time when the typical domestic car retailed for about
$2,000. It was beautifully styled and had a European flair.
Chrysler Corporation, flush with success in 1955, made
minimal styling changes. Its contribution to beauty was
the exciting Plymouth Fury. From front to rear, it was part
of the forward look of Chrysler. Quarter panels included
gently rising fins. It was the year that Alcoa Aluminum
partnered with Plymouth to supply the gold anodized
aluminum side trim.
Believe it or not, there were other things besides cars
back then. TV shows included “As The World Turns” and
“The Price is Right”. Elvis Presley appears on the Ed Sullivan show and enters the music charts for the first time,
with “Heartbreak Hotel”, the first of 170 hit singles. There was also Bill Haley
and the Comets, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash.
We had Dwight Eisenhower as president and Congress approves the Highway
Act for construction of the interstate highway system. Egypt seizes the Suez
Canal and we had Fidel Castro start a revolution in some faraway island.
What do you
remember from
1956? I was in
third grade at
156th Street
school in Gardena. It was the
year I attempted
to kiss my first girl. Got rejected. Some
things haven’t changed all that much.
Our benches at this school were covered in some type of coating that looked
like automotive undercoating, only
softer. We used to burn it with magnifying glasses. We did this with ants too. I was a naughty boy. Again, some
things haven’t changed much.
Actually, my time machine takes me back to high school days. Cruising
and playing the radio. We would drive just to drive. One of Terry and my
favorite things is to visit the Dairy Queen on Coast Highway in Huntington Beach for a couple of Blizzards. Then cruise down to the parking lot
just north of the Salt Water Plunge and skating rink, that’s north of the
pier today, to enjoy our frozen treats. Of course, we have to cruise Main
Street on the way home. Things still haven’t changed much.
Summer is just around the
corner. Where will your
time machine take you?
As always, if you have any questions, please free to
call me. And as always, if I don’t know the answer or
can’t find one, I’ll make one up that sounds plausible.

ABOUT US
Pickups Limited began in April, 1968 as the result of an ad placed in the Penny Saver. Our Orange County Chapter is the oldest and currently
the largest of 7 Chapters found throughout Southern California, with membership limited to 1948-56 F-1 and F-100 pickups and panels. We
are an active non-profit organization. Each June we host the largest all Ford truck show in the Western United States, the F-100 Western
Nationals while every January we produce Jeff’s Fun Run, a poker run throughout the car culture of LA and Orange Counties. Our business
meetings are on the second Thursday of each month at Ken Grody Ford in Buena Park (info below) and we usually plan one group outing
each month. Check the flip side of this flyer for a sample of Pickups Limited’s Orange County Chapter events.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
• Where can I buy an F-100? You would be surprised where they show up. Trucks can be found on E-bay, Auto and Truck Trader and in Drive magazine as well as
various F-1 & F-100 on-line sites including pickupslimited.com and at many of the local cruise events. You might even find one in your own neighborhood! If you
feel adventurous, you can even build a brand new 1956 F-100 from parts that many vendors provide!
• Where can I get parts and repairs? Check the flip side for a listing of great vendors that support Pickups Limited.
• Can I do repairs myself? Many of us do most of the mechanical tasks ourselves. That’s half the fun. There also are many books available from mechanical to
paint and body to interior total restoration.
• Do I have to own a truck to join? Yes but it can be a work in progress. The love for the truck is what comes first. If you are looking for a truck, maybe we can help.
• Do I have to be a member to participate in Club events? Not at all! Non members are always welcome. But if you do a "Run" in something other than a F-1 or
F-100, we might ask you to follow the pack.
• How can I get a ride in a F-100? Show up at a meeting or event and ask!
• How can I join Pickups Limited? Come to a meeting or one of our events for the first step. There is a basic probationary period required.
• Do I need special insurance for such an old vehicle? Not really, it depends on the value of the truck. Many companies will offer premium coverage although
there are speciality insurance carriers that can insure your baby for the full stated value.
