Beautiful truck.
It took me 10 years to restore my Suburban. It is a "stock restore" and I get a lot of smiles and thumbs-up and hoots/honks from young people.
Do what you like - and, drive it. Your son is absolutely right - the advice givers have no idea what goes into a restoration (any kind of restoration).
I wish I was there to see the grin on YOUR face when you first drove it. Priceless.

according to the wife, the grin was W I D E and continuous... sorry guys, this is my last frame off rodsteration... i'm pushing 50 and this one is gonna last me
for a while. considering the amount of scratch invested, i could have gone out and bought a pretty straight/stock classic car/truck driver and just drove it... but then i wouldn't have the stories and the scars that i now...
my current driver is a 1999 chevy suburban, a gift from my mother in law, the truck belonged to her late husband, and i now drive it for sentimental reasons (not for the gas mileage) and i have a very soft spot for suburbans...
TIM: went to your page, gotta love the Carry-All... very impressive collection of AD iron indeed
