Gary Lewis Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Well, IT WAS GREAT! And, because we were having so much fun I'm just now getting some of my "work" done to document what went on. First, here are the 19 entrants, with their Bullnose forum "handle" shown in parens: Larry Meeks 1940 Pickup Brian Poese 1968 Ranger Jeff Ingram 1983 F250 David Branscomb 1986 F150 (1986F150Six) Chris Tubutis 1981 F350 (ctubutis) Scott Ringler 1978 F150 James Markle 1985 F150 Tim & Melinda 1972 F100 Tim White Bronco Curtis Coffman 2000 Lightning Mike Oleson 1982 F250 Kyle Coffman 1978 Ranger Bruce Scott 2012 Ford Flex (Moose4x4) Matthew Mattix 1982 F150 Bird Johnson 1986 F150 Paul Terhune 1980 F150 (Rogue_Wulff) Brandon Holland 2001 Lightning Roger Cornett 1928 Roadster Gary Lewis 1985 F250 (Gary Lewis) And the trophy winners were: Best Paint: Brian Poese 1968 Ranger Best Engine: Mike Oleson 1982 F250 Closest To Stock (pre-2000): Tim & Melinda 1972 F100 Best Upgrades: Tim White Bronco People's Favorite: Roger Cornett 1928 Roadster Farthest Distance Driven: Chris Tubutis 1981 F350 (ctubutis) 685 miles from Denver But, there were several people here who didn't have trucks entered, and at the risk of missing some - to which I'll apologize up front - here they are: Darin & Anita from Australia (Oz Econoline) Ken & Gail from New Zealand (Ken Blythen) Vinny Simone from Newfoundland (vjsimone) Ray Cecil from Kentucky (Ray Cecil) Bill Kinsala from Waxahachie, TX (brnwaxa) Kevin, wife, and son from near Hope, AR (844RD) [sorry, I didn't get all the names.] Eli, son, and nephew from Peru/Niotaze? Kansas (Smokenchoken) Fred Nelson from Anderson, MO. [Not a Bullnose forum member, but he's the host of the FORDification show in early June] And with that, I need to process the pictures. But, I have 333 pictures from 4 different sources, so that is going to take some work. First, I need to sort out the pictures of feet. And those where the photographer was clearly playing around. And then work through the duplications that happen with 4 different people snapping pics. So, that'll take some time, after which I'll create a new picture gallery for them and link to them from here. But, since you've been patient I'll give you some to whet your appetites. And, if anyone else has pics from the show or the weekend, please post them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford F834 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Thanks for posting up some pics Gary! I am sorry that I could not come this year. I truly missed out, and I missed visiting with you all. But sometimes life throws you a curve ball and makes you focus on the blessings that you do have 🙂.

That's Charley? I'll bet you'll make a grease monkey out of her. How old is she? Maybe 8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am blessed Gary... and yes, that is Charlie. She just had her 6th birthday this month. She actually might learn to like wrenching. She spends most of her free time playing in dirt and she goes crazy when I run my power tools. Her brother, on the other hand ignores them... so beware of the stereotypical gender expectations 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to mow with me, and she's tired of it. However, both were at the show and loved the trucks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little blue Ford shirts next to the classic blue pickup is neat! Thing is, now I really need to get my crew cab running for 2019... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing the photos. I know Gary likes the one of "Big Blue", all alone and guarding the entrance. It was a pleasure meeting the two of you. Have a great vacation in the USA.

Good to get to know and talk with you. Hope you get home with all the loot. 😉 And, thanks for the pics. David is right - I like the one of Big Blue. But the one of the Mercantile is cool as well. People come from all over to see that place. But where’s one of the bison? 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
