I've never had a problem getting mine insured for daily driving and used both State Farm and Metlife (Snoopy) at one time or another. After years of having high risk because of my wife's tickets and wrecks I finally got Progressive but haven't put the 48 on it since it is torn apart right now.

The insurance offices around here may a different view of the older trucks as there are a good number of older trucks still being used as daily driver trucks hauling stuff and taking the driver to work every day just as they have for the past 60 years. The owners quite often don't even consider them anything special, just a truck that is paid for and one they can fix themselves as they have for a number of years.

If you have YOM, Classic or collector plates on it you may be up a creek though as that means it is special event only driving to most insurance companies.

I'd shop around and see what various companies say but unless you go though a specialty company you may run into issues having two insurance companies. Meaning one or the other may question why.
