Fueling my '73...how to stop the drip

Living in California we have these special pumps that wreak havoc on trying to fill my '73. They spill more gas than gets in the tank and I have ot stand there and hold the pump. This can be a long slow process especially if I decide to fill both tanks.

I've tried rotating the handle to the 2 o'clock position and it seems to work but I feel there has to be a better way.

Yes, I have seen where people have modified their trucks to have newer fillers or relocated to the bed...etc.

I'm wondering if anyone has found a quicker cheaper alternative to modifying the truck. I was at the auto parts sotre yesterday and saw a nice size funnel and I was thinking I could attach that and then maybe fill it that way. Any ideas?
