Robert or WR Teto,
I have tried Hagerty and they restrict you 'Show Truck quality' only. Their
rates were $50.00 annually. They laughed when I sent in pictures of my
rusty work in progress truck.
Try www.americancollectorsins.com. (800-360-2277). They were listed in the
latest 'Classic Trucks' magazine. Their online annual quote for my stock 51
1/2 ton was $36.00 with 2500 miles a year. Must be garage kept. They do
not seem to limit their clients to 'Show Truck quality'. We'll see how they
pan out.
