That's so cool!

Who did you insure it thru? I've called all the mainstream insurances and non cover it (2002 FL-60). If someone knows of any companies that might insure it, let me know pls. thanks

My Allstate agent got me a policy on it. I think it was about a grand per year.....Even though it was a "Recreational Vehicle- Not for hire" I'm pretty sure that it was classified as a commercial policy.

So I ended up buying it. I couldn’t pass up on the deal. I’ll be gutting the interior and customizing the upholstery.

I've been using it as a daily driver this past week. Let me tell you it's not as bad as I thought. The visibility while driving is insane. Can't wait to see how it does on the ramp.

Just picked up a super clean 2013 GMC3500 4x4 Duramax/Allison. 30k miles on it. Been towing my fountain with my old Chevy Silverado 3500 4x4 with a 6.0 gas motor. Amazing difference.

I've had a power stroke truck & a 6.5 GM diesel before, just not in the past 16 years. Just have to remember when pulling up to the pump. Lol
