I will go with the rest of the guys here, if I ever had the chance to own anything, any where similar that was once owned by my grandpa I would keep it until I'm too old to stick with it and then inherit it to my children and tell them the story.

Speaking about showroom.. If you have a showroom vehicle, how much would you accually dare to drive it? And the your truck looks like winner from this picture!
