I got Allstate. They dont care what kinda lift I got on my truck then again they've only ever seen one of my cars and I've had six or so insured through them. Of course I just got liability.
I'll have to see what my buddy has, his '86 F250 has a 6in lift on it and as far as I know its insured.

GMAC = fail
Ive got Progressive on both my 79s and its roughly $90/month for minimum coverage.
One thing to point out.....NO insurance company will give you much for a 70s Ford EVEN if you have full coverage. They'll give you fair market value which is usually less than $1000. IF any work has been done to it maybe something like Haggerty or similar would be a good choice.
I got a 69 Boss 302 and a 55 T-bird both insured for $700/yr through Haggerty.

You could always get the truck appraised and take that paper in and tell them you want the truck insure at that value.
Buddy of mine had a '87 20th anniv Cougar with a 5.0HO swapped in and bunch of other stuff done too it, well someone rear ended him and his insurance company was only gonna give him fair market on a base model v6 which aint squat. His car was one of 5000 built and had every single option plus it was a 5.0 to begin with. He told them he wouldnt take their offer and to try and find another one like his and see what they go for.

My insurance agent sends me birthday cards. I'm not sure whether I should be creeped out or not.
Anyways.. they have no problem insuring my pile of junk.
