    Master lock boron alloy hasp all weather lock. You'll find it at your local locksmith.

    7 extra sets of keys. One in the ignition you take with you, one hung on the seat, one stashed on the truck, spare for passenger, spare for mechanic (leave it with him so when you drop it off after hours.) The rest drop in the desk draw for extras i. Case you loose your set.


    Load locks.

    Bungees

    Washer fluid, paper towels, kleenex, spare bulbs, butt connectors and stuff to replace lights,

    Go learn how to change your fuel filter in the dark. (major hint)

    LED head light

    Extra oil, wiper blades (2 sets), tire gage, air hose, print out of fuel stops for fuel card, dash calendar (one of them sticker type)

    Infrared and dial thermometers

    Rug for between the seats, garbage can,

    More to add if remember.....
