[mongocanfly]

Looks really good jocww...
Receipts..huh
Thats why I decided not to keep up with the cost of my IH build...I would probably have a meltdown if I knew how much I've spent...

[jocww]

Thanks Mongo, yea that's probably the smartest thing bit I need to figure ot how much to insure it for. Do I insure it for how much I spent and then some, or how much I think its worth?

I think the test is this: if you go out to the garage and the truck is simply gone or has been hammered by a meteor and is nothing but rubble, after you get done wailing and crying, how much do you need to replace it?

I used a stated value of $30k for mine and with the TCI chassis, LS swap, all the damn parts I bought, and a few outside services (rebuild trans, upholster seat, build an exhaust, install glass, sand blast and powder coat, etc. I can't replace it for that so need to get with it and increase it. Probably more like $40, not that it makes any sense to spend that much, just what it'll cost to replace.

Thanks, i had grundy do a policy of 50k and its 303 a year so not too bad. I asked how much it would be for 60.

[mongocanfly]

$303 a year for a 50k policy?...did I read that right?

[Matt_50]

How much mileage did you say for the year for that quote??

I called haggarty 15k policy, 700 a year.

[Scott2]

Mine is with Hagerty, $30k stated value, ~$500/year

[Matt_50]

What?! Mileage?

[jocww]

Less than 2k miles

[e015475]

Grundy. Same agreed value of $30k. $255/year

Insured for the parts and paid labor I have in it.

Will adjust it once I get it on the road

[jocww]

e0 you going to dinos drive in? Im thinking about driving down with slow4dr

[jocww]

Got the Dakota rtx calibrated. The shop did it, but for some reason it was pretty far off. Honestly it was pretty simple to reset 3 buttons. Didn't go through all the things this set up could do but one day I will.

[Zippi]

For $30K on my 49 I'm paying just under $300/year.

[jocww]

Clean ride zippi.
Update
With Grundy, they told me I could drive it down to Az if I was to go to Dino's which I didnt with no extra fee. Supposedly they dont check mileage. They just dont want you to drive it daily, which mine will never be anyway.

[mongocanfly]

Who are you using zippi?...nice truck...

[joedoh]

nice! looks great!

I like the RTX gauges and the real high point for me is that they are compatible with the DD OBDII interface (which all my trucks have intact) so almost all the gauges are available through that!

[jocww]

Every time I take this thing for a drive I smile especially when it goes sideways at 30 when I hit the gas cause there's a small spot in the cable that's kinked or a dead spot either way it's fun, do need to get it sorted out.

[NorCalGal]

Jesus, that thing is beautiful!! The stance is awesome!

[joedoh]

I have a 6.0 2500HD and it has that same spot I think, its DBW though so its the pedal itself. I always tap it to get through the spot haha.


truck looks amazing!

[jocww]

Thank you Jan, I love it too, I do wish it was about a 1.5 lower then it would drag the frame when parked, and to add to that my dad wished it was about 2in taller. I dont think they make bags that would have worked for that application. Or at least I didnt see that option.

Joe I think mine is that too, he had to fab up the pedal assembly. I bought the older motor cause I thought this would mean I wouldnt have drive by wire, but then he said he had to do a new assembly so I am not sure.

This is the best pic I think I took yesterday.

[mongocanfly]

Looks awsome..!!!

[MIKESAD50]

Looks great. look forward to seeing around some of the bay area shows

[jocww]

Thanks Mongo.

Mike do you ever see that black with orange fenders down by you or the red one with tci frame? I think they live in the south bay by you. I see them at the good guys shows.

[MIKESAD50]

Not that I recall. I will have to keep an eye open for them.
A buddy of mine finished his recently. blue 52 with TCI frame.

That really does look good! How do you like the ride with the bags?
