if you want a rigid lock for the steering wheel, use a small ratchet strap and wrap around the steering wheel and hook on the vent window post, if the truck is new enough to not have vent windows, go from the steering wheel to the seat frame,tighten strap, this was the way i did it back when i had a tow business and they made real cars and trucks that were rear wheel drive [ except olds toronado caddy eldorado and buick riviera and 1930;s cords] i never towed a cord, lol, but that was for towing with the rear wheeles raised, for flat towing i prefered a limited amount of turn from the towed vehicle, this allowed you to make wide turns without dragging the front wheels sideways, take the strap, and loop around the bottom of the steering wheel then loosly hook to the seat frame , use duct tape to prevent the strap hooks from comming off the seat frame this will control the steering wheel, while allowning the steering wheel to get about a half a turn when you go around a turn , but wont allow it to go to full lock one way or the other , do not use the ignition lock to lock the steering wheel the locking pin is small, and will break under these conditions
