And about going to shows ...
Take it to shows just as it is. Put a big sign on it that says "ALL ORIGINAL, UNMOLESTED AND UNRESTORED" it will draw a crowd.
Hotrodded versions of your truck are common. There were three or four of them at the show I went to last Sunday (mine was the only unmolested, unrestored truck there -- that wasn't just rolling junk being passed off as a "rat rod")
Restored to like original condition versions of your truck are not as common, but still plenty around.
Unrestored, unmolested originals in like new condition like yours -- rare as hens' teeth
A lot of judged shows are just popularity/bling fests. Throw enough money at your truck, and put every chrome doo dad on it from the catalog and you can line your wall with trophies.
Anyone who wouldn't enjoy seeing your truck as is just isn't part of "our" crowd.
