    Has anyone ever installed a Security Safe in the cab of their truck. I found a free place to park my truck and I'm trying to avoid having to take stuff out of truck when I park on the weekends. Thanx

    If you mean the little key lock safes,a hammer and big screwdriver will open one in a few seconds.

    I was thinking about a combination type safe that could be bolted down and not so easy to open.

    Do not forget that the extra weight your safe adds to the truck is offset by the $ PAYING FREIGHT you cannot haul

    There are also states like OH where this might considered having an illegal concealed compartment which is stupid law but on the books anyways.

    What's the difference between shoveling everything into a duffle bag and taking it with you, and shoveling it into a safe and leaving it there? If the truck gets stolen then your safe is gone, too.
