Things are very easy with insurance over here, any vehicle made before 1973 can be classed as an historic item, therefore it's not seen as a daily drive ? more a special that will only see the road on some sunny sundays, I was told that the insurers allow 5000 miles a year before they charge an extra amount per 1000 miles. I have my truck insured fully and at an agreed value of £15'000 and it costs me £180 per year ? how does that compare to you's guys, but just to put things in perspective we have a family car(toyota 2.0i 1996) that costs us a whopping £ 650 PER YEAR ?? just dont make sense does it, but hey I drive the c10 so everythings cool, by the way as it is classed as an historic item I dont have to pay road fund lisense (road users tax) either. Only thing that sucks is the price of gas $7.40 per gall ?????? yellow steering wheel ! you bet here's the other pic that did'nt get sent

Hmmmm, we have insurance here too that's exactly like that. I can't remember the exact name of the company, I think it's Sneed, Robinson, and Gerber...or something like that. You send pictures, insure it for an agreed value, but mileage is unlimited. They figure that we put alot of time into our vehicles, so we're more likely to be safe with them. It's a cool way to look at it. (and they don't know how "I" drive)

Oh, BTW, that's one beautiful truck you have there. That interior is the cleanest I think I've seen so far. Definately looks like a keeper to me!
