Go to enjoy the truck and all the other rides and think of awards as an unexpected bonus. You'll find there's no real rhyme or reason why one vehicle wins over another (especially when a bunch of late models win) and you'll end up bitter and upset. It doesn't come up much here because the truck crowd is so laid back, but I've seen a lot of posts of upset owners of vintage Mustangs (owners with truly gorgeous factory restored cars) that will lose out to a late model or one with a bunch of stupid crap on it... Just a heads up. Again, the biggest thing is to go in expecting to leave with nothing and you'll be happier

Stunning truck!

If you're going for 100% factory your bed wood and sills should be painted body color (I'm guessing that was one of your subtle changes)

You have the best attitude possible for enjoying shows. We have been showing antique Boats for about 8 years. The awards I didn't expect to win have been the best ones. A couple times I made the mistake of having high expectations and was disappointed. A good friend of mine has stopped having his boats judged at shows and has stopped going to shows where he felt huge disappointment. I go for the socializing and to see the boats.an award is a bonus. I would like to attend a few car/truck shows in the future.
