Re: 1957 Chevy 3100, meet 1994 Dodge Ram 1500
The console has a "locking" compartment, but a determined child could have it open in a minute or less. Also, the console needed a base of sorts to make the armrest usable. I figured 8" tall, above the mounting ribs for the seat would be a nice fit, so I began building myself a lock box out of leftover 10 gauge steel from the bed floor. The end result is a solid, albeit heavy, locking compartment that is 8" tall, 8" wide, and 21" deep. The base bolts to the cab floor and security hardware holds the top porting to the base. I haven't built the door yet, but when it is done, it will be like a small safe inside the cab.
