Is there a hood latch lock or a hand built lock for a 1967 ford f100. I had the battery stolen from my truck while it was sitting in front of my house.

I've been doing some wintertime pondering because I also want to figure out some kind of lock system - when I get a final plan and all the bugs worked out I'll post what I did with photos - I have it pictured in my head - just gotta get some warm weather....

A guy on YouTube made a simple lock. It’s not fancy but it works. Check it out https://youtu.be/MYYaN5ARSnU

i had a truck with a simple design, a piece of angle with a hole bolted to the hood and another bolted to the core support. when hood was closed you could put a padlock in the 2 holes.
