47-55.1 Anti theft - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I installed Altman EZ latches in my 1950 3100 and understand that now I will not be able to lock the doors. I will not have a bunch of stuff in the truck other than a stereo to steal but want to keep the truck itself from getting stolen. I don’t plan to ever be too far a way from it but am taking the following measures.
I installed a keyed battery disconnect switch behind the seat that you can not see, but can still reach back and switch it on/off. I will also put a “club” on the steering wheel and plan to put a push button switch inside the ashtray that will interrupt the power to the coil. Not sure how heavy duty that switch should be and it will the fused type.

Any input on how many amps that switch should be?
