Welcome to the garage Jacob!
It's your truck, do what ever will make you proud of it.
Myself, I like the original look of the wear and tears it has from the years of use.
Please give us some more info about it, year, model, history and pictures.

There are also no stupid questions here.
Also check out the gallery and introduce yourself in the Welcome Center.
