How many people take car alarms seriously these days ?? Best protection will be an ignition cut off switch. Put this switch inline between the ignition switch & the coil. If ya want to get fancy, you can install 2 switches [ only you know which switch needs to be in what position to run ]. Figure out a way to hook up a hood lock. Never underestimate the value of a fuel cut-off switch. Once this switch is closed,the truck can be started & driven a block or so before the carb is dry. To prevent tow aways, nose the truck against a wall or building , crank the steering wheel to full lock & put a Club on. LOJACK is great, but it responds AFTER the thing has been stolen. Lots a vehicles have been recovered that were equipped with L.J & they are stripped shells. I wonder if L.J has a 6 Volt version?? These precautions will prevent the run of the mill thief from taking the truck. Dont forget if someone really wants the thing,they will bring a tow truck,& bring their own ignition system & run their own fuel line. They will also bring a steering wheel remover to remove the club [ still attached to the wheel ] or they will use a " club crusher" to break the club off . If the truck is to be stored for any lenght of time , it may be wise to remove all the lugnuts on 1 wheel & reinstall the hubcap. They hate it when a wheel falls off when they are stealing it.
