I'm at work now, so I'll make it quick for now. My truck was pulled over by the sheriffs for a moving violation in the city of Seatac when they discovered it was stolen. I was told they would search the truck but they didn't.....too many stolen articles found from just opening the door. And to make matters more uneasy for my frame of mind, the people had there own key to use for door locks and ignition....probably a worn key (I replaced the door locks and ignition lock about 3 years ago!). I'll post more picks and apprehensively give my plan for a anti theft device we can all do and modify that really is pretty cool. For now....back to work!
The beauty of the common thief is the high percentage of stupid. That and luck was really on your side. Congrats x2.

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s details, OEM identifications & part numbers, written in short order. 700+ images of assm., illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
