So I'm ramping up the restoration of my bronco this year as since i've bought her i haven't given her much attention or put much work into her other than the stereo installation and a new aftermarket fender to replace the rusted one.
My main concern however, is that i know alot of SUV's get stolen yearly for imports and replacement parts and I really want to do as much possible to disuade/prevent theft. Since my bronco is a 1980 baby, she's not exactly full of electronics or wiring, and has few places i could run or hide wires for a standard alarm system, though i will more than likely have a custom system installed with a GPS if i can find a good way to do it. That is more for the event that it actually gets stolen. Anyway.. I figure one of the best ways to disuade theft of the truck are mechanical things like quick release steering.
About the only thing i've found so far is this:

But, apparently it only works on certain hubs. So my question is as follows, what type of steering hub is on a 1980 bronco?
