We used to sling our guns in. those and park at school after a quick morning hunt. Things have changed.

And maybe crew cab trucks. You didn't have a good place to throw them in old single cabs. Now, most trusted source have plenty of space I'm the back.

Plus, it's hard to reach one if it's on the back glass in a crew cab. Increases the level of difficulty while road hunting.

I’ve got one on my truck but not back window it’s over head in between front and back seat. I’m a fan of it keeps them up out of the way and hard to see if someone looks into truck

I was in Academy around Christmas, this old timer was looking for one for his great grandson who was getting a little used pick-up for Christmas. I tried to locate them to no avail. We found a salesperson and after several attempts at trying to describe it, I ended up pulling up a pic on google. The little salesman said the don't stock them and advised that it wouldn't be a good idea, bc if the kid accidentally left a gun in the truck rack at school, he'd be expelled and probably arrested. The old timer was stunned he sighed and walked away mumbling under his breath.

Don't buy a plastic one for the back glass, those are shite. The whole damn thing will come crashing down in a slow curve.

Had that discussion with a local sheriff this morning. I graduated high school in the mid 1990's, and this was the norm during dove season. Things changed quickly after that.

Saw one the last weekend of deer season in MS a few weeks ago. Guy and his girl were in an 80's model chevy stepside driving just ahead of us. Had a shotgun and a bolt action rifle. First time in years I have seen one.

Take off the roll bars, paint it white and make it stepside then you got it.
