I haven't actually done this but it came up on a list a few years ago. The
important thing is to securely fasten the car to the floor of the truck. The
front of the truck box is not strong enough to withstand the force of the
weight of a car, in the event of an accident. Use chains or cables around
suspension bits, axles, or frame members and tied them to hold downs in the
floor. If the floor is wood, you can probably bolt the chains down somehow.
Safety Fast!
