Online Insurance/70 C20 Newbie Intro
Newbie here. I am in the process of getting my old truck going again and will certainly have lots of questions.
Truck: 70 C20 with 59,000 original miles. 350, leaf springs, auto, power steering and brakes, swingout camper mirrors and wiring. History: My grandfather bought new in 1970. It carried an 11 foot Dreamer Truck Camper for about 15 years until the camper rotted away. My dad inherited it and then passed it down to me. We used to borrow the truck and camper when I was younger for vacations. The truck carried the camper out to Washington state from Kentucky and back in the early 70's. I parked the truck in 2000 because everytime I went to drive it I had to do something to it; tighten the belt, add tranny fluid etc. Update: Truck has been in the barn since 2000. In the past few weeks, I drained the gas, put some fresh in and it started right up. (I was quite shocked.) I have since changed the antifreeze and the oil and let it run for awhile and everything seems "OK". It idles great but needs feathered in order take gas- accelerator pump likely. It has 4 flat tires but I was able to back the truck out of the barn and drive back in. I will be changing out the 9.50X16.5's and putting on some 16's this weekend. I am going to put on new brake shoes, check the lines and have the tranny gone over. I will add some pics once I get the barn dust off of her. The only thing I have used the truck for in recent years is a prop for pictures. See below. My First Question: I want to insure and license and was looking at Hagerty online for about $130 a year. Anyone using this? Here's a sneak peek until more pics available. Last edited by kyfig70c20; 08-14-2009 at 11:36 AM. |
