My solution to a similar problem (a '72 duece) was to register the
vehicle as a Farm Truck and insure it through my county Farm Bureau.
They were more than happy to do it. (Of course, I do have a small ranch,
and a bunch of other insurance with them; but, even so, it did not seem
like a big deal to them.) Maybe it's time to dump your present insurance
agent and find one that will give you some service. That's exactly what
I did with Farmer's.
Like I said, try the Farm Bureau. They sure treat me right.
BTW: I have no connection with them other than being a happy customer.
