I recently participated in the veterans day parade here in pheonix,az. while at the parade i had a group of vets insist in riding in my truck(M35A2). these guys opted out of riding in a restored 5t with troop seats and even borrowed milk crates so they had something to sit on. they said they wanted to ride in the one that looked like it was used and straight from the army. what do you guys think? RESTORE IT OR LEAVE IT ? ?

I am on the fence about mine right now myself. It is OK, but has a few rust spots, and some dents and such. I want it all one color again, but I do use it and enjoy not having to worry about it too.
I think my plan ultimately will be to fix the few spots and throw a coat of paint on, but not worry about making it perfect. It was in both Gulf Wars, so want to see it back to its Desert Tan that's peeking out in various spots.
