Truck safe

Adam17 · Jul 17, 2019

Hi All!

So I got a bargain, a lockable gun safe for the truck, paint needs a bit of a tidy up, but its good for what I paid. I aim to get this fitted to my truck, for a bit of extra safety. I dont wish to drill my truck, but do have the option to use 6 bolts already in place, although not in the greatest position (see pic). This will require me drilling the safe itself, which I am fine with.

What are your thoughts on the strength of this bolt layout?

4 bolts in a line, and then 2 below? I have them soaking, ill remove the bolts, mark the safe, and drill, then fix...

Will this be strong enough.

in what way? something you was going to do?

I have mentioned a safe before, but the my previous idea differed in the sense of, I was going to make it under the rear seats. but this was so cheap I went with it.

Im just not sure the bolt line up will be strong enough..?

No I think it was a glitch on the site last night (or the Victorian internet at home) because it displayed your thread as newly started with no replies and I’d already read it days before.
