Growing up with my 1968 K20 Suburban, it was always considered a "tool" by my parents. It was never treated with adoring eyes and care, other than the required maintenance.
I never got thumbs up from others while driving it, until I entered it into the Golden State Truck Parts truck show in 1994.
I only entered it in that show because the counter guys begged me to enter it when I was at their store to buy a mirror, so I entered it only to get preferred parking so my GF and I could park among the show and easily make a day out of it to look look at nice trucks. On top of that, I did not enter it for judging.

Later after the show, the show management approached me to ask why I did not enter the burb since they told me it would have won..

Anyways, it was then I realized that maybe I should try to restore it.
