The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Need advice on insurance companies.

I sold my late model('87) truck earlier this year, and plan on getting an old truck(nothing newer than 1959). Don't know exactly what I'll end up getting(it all comes down to the price), so it could be anything from a 1/2-ton to a COE.

What I would like to know is what insurance companies do you guys use? Regular insurance companies want a small fortune to insure older vehicles(if they will even cover them at all), and the collector car companies that I have found require that you have a late model driver with regular insurance or they won't cover you.

Does anyone know of a company that will insure an older vehicle(pre-1960) without requiring you to have a late model with regular insurance?

Getting an old truck is going be quite a stretch for me due to the ever-rising prices(and lack of availability in my area), and it will be my sole vehicle because there is no way(short of robbing a bank)that I could afford to buy/insure two vehicles.
