I was wondering just how some of you secure your trucks.. It seems about everyone loves these older trucks... even auto thief's
A number of years ago my work van,, a 84 GMC 3500 with a 12' box on it just drove off my driveway... $35,000.00 worth of tools and equipment just drove away.. not to mention the Van..
Most of these older Trucks can be very easy to hop in and drive off,, more so if you can get under the hood and have a set of alligator clips.

So I'd really like to hear what you do to make sure your Truck,, Stays Yours!

What do you do to keep the hood down?
Have you looked at a key less entry's to your engine compartment?
How about the old hidden kill switch? has anyone used a kill switch but used a coded dip switch instead?
LowJack?
GPS System?
M-14 with a scope?
