    if you're looking for a place to put your grass or your rubbers, you can pop out the little plastic cupholder thingy in front of your shifter if you have an automatic.

    im personally not a drug smoker, but i popped it out one time and was "huh. that'd be good place to hide something"... so, there you go OP.

    ... though if you (OP) were asking about hiding something bigger like immigrants, i can't help you. :sorry:

    that shifter stash "box" is pretty slick!

    also, it depends on how frequently you will be accessing the "secret compartment"

    its easy hide stuff, but not necessarily easy to access it.

    also, if you have an automatic, just pull the trim bezzel around the shifter off and you have tons of room.. easy as can be to remove..

    Hahaha at autozone!?? When did they get in the drug business!? Lol I have a sharpie that opens up and also a water bottle that pulls apart at the label and u put water in the top half so it looks life a full bottle. Besides that, the cup holder section in a manual pulls up also and its pretty big. Or if u have small stuff get some of those keys holders with the magnets on the back and stick it up under ur truck.

    Shove it in between the lliitle door where you put gas, i used to stash weapons under the hood in between the battery n the fender, or hit up a stereo shop some of them build false compartments. Last one cost the most but probably the most secure, some of the get elaborate .. They wont open unless you switch on the AC n flash the high beams

    Bw s256 turbo with 3 in glass pack dumped pre axle raptor liner bed and top rails and fenderflares and rocker panels. Hunter side steps. Plasti-dipped upper fenders and emblems. satin black spray paint here and there inside and out. 5100's set to 1.75" up front . C channel front bumper. Maxxis bighorn 255/85/16
    buy a tool to seat/unseat tires from the rim and stash it in ur spare. or use the compartments that ur jack comes in under the back seat in the DC. or behind the compass/outside temp gauge that doesn't work on half the trucks anyway. there is also a good amount of trim along the dash and up and down the doors that pops off pretty easily. behind the AC controls, that little panel pops out pretty easy with a flat head. between the steering column and the bottom dash trim. there are plenty of places just take a look.
