Pliers

Hacksaw

Cut the Stock

all you need is a 14" peice for each. cut away with the hacksaw and file the cut end smooth.

measure 7" and create a 180 degree bend with about 1/2" space between the two ends.

with the remaining 7", bend a U shape big enough to hold your firearm of choice.

go inside the truck and pull back the liner behind the seats. (doesnt have to be much). you will see a series of slots. this is where the hook will sit.

Install It!!

all you have to do is slide it into the slot and away you go. ( i used some weatherstripping as padding to protect the guns)
