I echo all of the above chevman32 . I've had my '48 for 40 years and took it to it's first show last summer, as-is, in it's never-been-totally-restored condition and it was so much fun! The truck took a first place in 1900 to 1948 stock trucks simply because it was the only one there in it's class, and there were are a lot of terrific vehicles. I took it to another show the next month and same thing, another first place for the same reason. Stock is getting harder to find I guess. Just going is fun even if you don't win anything and it's so awesome seeing all of the great vehicles.
Let us know how the event goes!
