Re: Bought a 1950 GMC considering frame swap.

The s-10 had 4 engines in the back..i found out when I got it in my shop;0

Up here in BC all vehicles are insured by the provincial government. We really don't have titles. We have a certificate of registration. Any vehicle that has BC plates has insurance as you can't get the plates without paying for the insurance. If you owe money for traffic violations, speeding tickets etc, well they have to be paid as well before you can get insurance and plates. My 72k10 is insured as a modified collector as it has an LS swap. Insurance and plates are $21 per month with a $40,000 value...not to bad IMO.

I have files for all my vehicles..the ones I build and the ones we drive daily. All receipts are saved because if you get your truck totalled or stolen the government sets the value for payout. Now if you have done any work on them you may have a case for high payment, or you can take the government to court (good luck).

My son got rear ended in his Ranger a few years ago, other driver 100% at fault. We were offered $8500 for his truck as it was totaled. I pulled out all the receipts (i had recently installed a new engine) and we ended up settling for $14,700..Up here I keep all my records.
