Never liked those. I always thought someone would steal the steering lock and not my car. To be fair my truck back then was worth $50.
Dont know if ill run it myself. May throw it in time to time just for the retro. but may bring to much attention considering younger generation may not know what the heck a club is.

EDIT: Just looked them up, they still make them.

A bolt cutter won't touch The Club, but the crooks will sure as hell cut your steering wheel and toss The Club in the back seat. But, most thieves don't walk around carrying bolt cutters, so unless they're targeting your truck, it's probably effective.

Finally getting to ripping out the trashed interior.

Ill get the metal clean, sound deadening, new carpet and wait on rest to come back from upholstery shop.

I can lay down some headliner material but with the patience I've had lately I don't want to even deal with trying to wrap everything in tweed

This truck is gonna kill me to get it finished before SETN show in July lol.

Good news passenger side has no minor rust from usually water leaks. Bad news some "intelligent" person had a great idea at one time to weld bolt to the floor for rear buckets seats well look for yourself.

The back had that little rust going on but looks like it leaked from when it had a blow thru cut into cab

Also this is an idea of some of the garbage I've had to deal with.

I've believe these uncalled for drilled holes are from a lack of IQ points but someone had a backup camera wire ran through the rocker up into the tailgate and the Camara was screwed in below the handle with the bezel removed

The 2 in the tailgate is where wire came up through bottom of tailgate out the lower hole and then the wire went back into upper hole and the 2 little holes is where camera was.
