Regular cab. Everything is in the glove box, console, or under/behind the seats. All I really need is the cell phone, duct tape, and a BFH (you can fix just about anything with duct tape and a hammer)

 

Nothing. The only thing I do have is a camera in case I get into an accident or see some funny looking rice. Its great having a single cab.

Raoul,

How do you keep the drug sniffing dogs from messing up the interior of your truck?

I do more traffic than trafficking but that was funny.

Unleashed, a book of dog poetry (entertainment for passengers)
Tire Gauge
CD case
A plate from the kitchen (yesterday's breakfast)
Several files I am too lazy to carry back into the office


and finally, the truck-warming gifts I got from my boss when I bought the truck:

A David Allan Coe Greatest Hits CD

And

A Straw Cowboy Hat.

 

I like to keep my cab clean! Heres what i got back there:
