Trig (Chock) your Wheels when Parked. I carry a 4"x4"x1' Pressure Treated Block of Wood and use it when parked on a grade. Never know when it might just save you from trouble.

I agree!! I carry two in every army truck I own. Very safe and very smart since people love to climb all over the trucks.

I also have a set of Wheel Chocks from the 462 Fighter Squadron, 506 Fighter Group that was used on their F-84G and F aircraft while at Dow AFB. Lot of memories go with them, as they had pilots that had WWII and Korean Victories.
Yes, people do crawl into Army Trucks and work the Controls, they even step on starter pedals. I have had glasses crushed by parents allowing their kids to stand on the seat with my jacket under their feet.
