I had a similar thing happen with my 1 ton several years ago. They put me off by myself as the lone truck. I had a lot of spectators looking at my truck (isn't show quality by any means) but it was different than the numerous plastic 32 Ford coupes, early camaros and new vettes. I purposely skip that one every year-they can stick it. I go to a lot of truck shows being a member of the Antique Truck Club of America. You'll meet a lot friendlier folks at one of our events, and there is shiny stuff along with rust parked side by side given equal attention. I avoid car shows as I'm not a trophy chaser, and have seen too many hissy fits from soreheaded losers. One guy told me he could buy two trucks like mine for what he had in paint. He was p o'd because I won a trophy and he didn't. I offered to give him mine because I didn't want it-and that really ticked him off. To me, these car shows could do themselves a favor by making them a non judged event and ditch the trophies. I do attend a fair amount of car cruises, and am always welcomed by the group. Now there are several of us Dodge truck guys that his these as a group almost every week. There goes the neighborhood!
