Fuel Cutoff, Coil ground, large logging chain locked to power pole... move to someplace with a lower crime rate.

A Smith and effin Wesson ought to at least slow 'em down a bit.:)

But an electrical cutoff switch in the cab is cheap and easy. But use a quality switch like a Cole-Hersee (made in Massachussetts)not the typical plastic key under the hood nonsense.
A fuel cutoff, like Jolley says, is cheap an almost as easy.

Fabbing up some sort of interior hood release would be tough, but might keep that rare oil bath air cleaner with the truck. (I was Barrett Jackson in '04 and a note on this guys " super high end 'Cuda, was offering a $1000.00 reward for info on who stole his rare original air cleaner-and this was from a car that was in the "secure" high dollar tent with cameras and security, so imagine the fun that be had under your hood at the Home Depot!)

Years ago I had a telescoping double hook device that hooked around the brake pedal on one end (pulling up) and around the steering wheel spoke (pulling down) on the other. This prevented steering and braking as long as the device was in place. It had a key like a Coke machine lock- round. It was easy to store, between the seat and door, when not in use. It was fast to put in place and remove. I could see it working fairly well with Stovebolts.

This one is somewhat similar (but with the hook directions swapped from what I had.)

I had a dummy coil wire, just an open small rubber hose with the
regular ends, looked like a real coil wire....
