    Should have got a locksmith in the first place, a close second would have been to use a endoscope to look inside once you had drilled the hole in the side, you could have done that without torching the safe out of the truck.
    I hope the rest of the restoration is not to the same standard shown here...

    This wasn't my father's safe. I remembered the combo back in 81. It was empty.

    Actually saw that safe today - it's been restored - at the Evel Knievel Museum in Topeka, KS - pretty cool place to visit.

    What costs more? Three guys spending half a day destroying a safe, or a locksmith manipulating it without damaging the only item of value?

    Im not going to be as harsh as other comments, but dude! This was moronic. A safe like that could have easily been opened by a trained locksmith, with patience and skill. Can't believe I just watched curiosity killed the cat (safe) when you know darn well it was empty. All a mofo had to do was contact Robbie for the combination and wait for his response.

    Steven Thompson was thinking right. Drill point was 41 from the dial and 3/4 from deal center of the dial spindal. would have opened in about 30 minutes. repaired in another 30 minutes and made a lot more money than what they have know. LOCKMAN

      I use to buy Mosler 600 pound 5 drawer file cabinets safes and Mosler 1,000 pounds weapons safes from the US Navy when they were closing the bases around Alameda, CA. They wanted to make sure they were empty before they were sold to the public so a few of them had a small 1/4 inch hole near the dial to open them up, then they would weld the hole up.

    The combination was probably written down inside the back of the glove box in the cab or something. If not, having a locksmith open it so it could be saved along with the truck would have been the way to go. If you only wanted to get in, should have cut the bottom off so it could have been welded back on, the top with the dial left unmolested.

    Safe is worthless. I guess in the scheme of trying to keep as much original on the restored truck, it would have made sense to not destroy it, but I am sure that people were called and assessments were made before they did this. Guessing they could have put a "new" and or working safe in its place to keep it restored like the original. Keep in mind these "YeaHoos" got the rig in the lime light and restored or it would still be in Clearwater Florida rotting. In FL with the heat, humidity and constant rain, that rig would be a pile of rust by now. Guess I am a glass half full guy...

    WTF a proper welder could have cut the safe open for you at the seam with a zipcut then re welded it and you would have never known he was inside and with how much you plan on replacing it wont be original anymore
    its a goddamed shame whoever is in charge of this shouldnt have been let near something this important...
