If it's just a show and shine then it's pretty easy, make the truck look pretty. Wash it down, wipe out every nook and cranny, clean the engine bay if you plan to pop the hood, slick the tires up. You can go as far with that as you want, my show prep generally is done the day before and takes about 5 hours then it gets a detail spray and a tire wetter when I get to the location.

Go for it, and check out the other trucks, to get idea's, especially the ones who have several shows behind them. Ask a lot of questions to find out what it takes to be successful in a show.

What kind of show is it? If it's just a show and shine. Get it as shiny and clean as possible

You've got a high sitting truck. Get yourself a couple cans of cheap tire shine, spray down your frame rails etc. Do this a day or two ahead of time so it all drips off.

Moar points!

Make sure you get your door trim, door hinges and all the little areas cleaned up!
