I can't speak for anyone else, but, were my truck restored to perfection, I *would* still haul in it, tow with it, and otherwise use it. In fact, I did just that after the last time I put thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours into it. It would insult the truck not to use it. There are enough museum pieces out there (I earnestly hope that some of them are, in fact, pristine originals or true restorations), and I don't need to contribute to the fleet. My truck will not be one of them. Could I afford to put a hundred thousand dollars into it, my attitude would remain the same. Not to makes no more sense to me than to buy a new one and put it under glass to keep it pristine. To buy or restore and then not use is a waste of money.
