Everyone who sees my truck seems to have a story about their childhood that revolves around a truck like this. The comments that stick in my mind are:

1. My dad who got me into restoring cars, shortly after I dragged my new project home: "you paid how much for that POS?! You got screwed." Now he constantly tells me NEVER sell that beautiful truck.

2. I had nearly completed a frame-off restoration except for new wheels and bedwood. While filling up at a gas station, a guy said "you're going to have a beautiful truck when you finish it". Whatever. I have a beautiful truck now!!!

3. Drove over to a new restoration shop near my house, and listened as the shop owner told me he only works on muscle cars and convertibles. Another passerby stopped in to ask about the beautiful truck out front. After the shop owner went out and inspected my truck for quite a while, he asked "you looking to sell it?" Nope.
