propane tank storage in truck bed

I see a need to do most of my grilling on my Weber Q1200 in the national forest this summer. I would like to take my 20# tank instead of the little $$$ one pound tanks that are hard to install. My old fiver has limited storage so the tank would have to ride in the truck bed. Any good solutions to securing a 20# tank from moving about on the road and from walking away when parked for shopping? I'm thinking a milk crate would stabilize it and a lock cable.

    Milk crate, and never locked it. Most will not even see it in the truck bed.

    Over a decade ago we purchased a couple propane tank holders for our truck bed, still in use today. We have a locking metal rolling tonneau cover over our bed eliminating theft issues, we use bungee straps to keep propane tank in place. Amazon has a plethora of propane tank holders for truck beds, some are pretty nifty and are lockable as well.

    Milk Crate and then secure it in place with straps
    Potable propane cylinders fit perfectly in those and strapped they will stay put
