ABSTRACT:
A steering column lock for heavy-duty vehicle steering columns includes a one-piece substantially T-shaped member having a main stem portion and a cross bar portion. The wheels of the vehicle are turned and the stem portion is inserted through the opening in the universal joint in the steering column. The cross bar portion interferes with adjacent structure such as the steering column support. A heavy-duty padlock is inserted through an opening toward the end of the stem portion opposite the cross bar portion. A crown is provided at the top of the cross bar portion to cause further interference when trying to rotate the steering column.
