I recently added a 1970 GMC tow truck to my expanding collection of vintage cars and trucks.  I have a preference for trucks that have a special utility and since fire trucks are just too big I decided long ago I wanted a vintage tow truck.  Although I would prefer a truck from the 50's or earlier this one was available at a good price and in nice running condition.  My problem now is how to get it insured.  I was surprised when GRUNDY turned me down.  I thought maybe they thought I was going to use it commercially so I reapplied with detail about my intent to keep it as a collector truck but got turned down again even though I have several other cars and trucks insured with them. 

So now I am searching for another insurance vender.  If you have experience with one that will cover a tow truck for a collector let me know.  Thanks, Jim

I have been enjoying the great weather in Melbourne, Florida.  Over the last six week my son and I built this 1929 Huckster.  It is almost complete here and we have since added the roof material and the seats.  We had it out running around last weekend.  Michael is going to continue to work on the sheet metal.  The engine is origional.  It needed a replacement starter and generator that I had on hand from a spare engine I picked up last year just in case I might need some parts.
