any AKM would be fine, I like the ak74, but I think the ruger mini-14 chambering the 5.56 nato is a practical choice. It is small enough for use in a confinded space and the ammo is easily obtained, especially the .223 rem. If it is your intention to store it in the Truck, go with the AKM they are exceptionally durable and forgiving to mistreatment; if the bolt rust just give it a kick and it is ready to shoot. 7.62X39 ammo is pretty cheap too.
