You can use bolts in a pinch or pull the front driveshaft and lock the cdl.

PLEASE make sure you get the right thread pitch! I see a lot of threads where people make big expensive repairs out of simple stuff by buggering threads.

In hind sight...yes just remove the front drive shaft with 8 nuts and lock the CDL.

There is a trick to locking it by pulling a fuse. Best bet if you can find one is get a CDL switch and just plug it in. There are several other switches that plug right in that are more common at junk yards or dealerships. It is a valuable mod.
