steering column anti-theft locks/jackets

[89 crew]

I just finished fixing a popped column. The favorite way is on the left side. They break the housing and then the rack, slide the entire rack down to unlock the steering wheel lock, and start the truck, then jerk the shifter to spring the lock there. If you can protect the shifter lock, and the left side of the column, It should stop the problem. The only other way I know of is to remove the tumbler assembly and turn the shaft the keys turn.
