Truck/trunk vault is a box made of sheetmetal. Great idea but I would have to say in my professional security opinion as well as personal assessment: sheet metal is easy to break into. There are many cases of guns being stolen from police cars.
Sheet metal and IIRC composite wood panels.
Anything heavier than sheet metal won't sell well because of the weight.
Still, the primary idea here is to have the firearms and valuables out of sight and not easily accessible; to make it a bit harder than just a snatch and grab. If they have to futz around with the "vault" then that takes time and lessens the risk of theft.
Police cars have weapons stolen because the thieves know there are probably weapons inside. They don't know that about civilian vehicles - although the first place they check for valuables is the glove compartment and consoles.
