In-Cab Fire Extinguisher Locations?

I'm a big fan of having a fire extinguisher or three in the cabin of my vehicles. What are good locations to install them in these trucks?

I keep a skinny guy tucked between the cab and the side of the rear seat (super cab). Not the prettiest location, but at least I can get it out quick.

I have mine mounted on the floor to the left of my driver seat just inside the door. Easy to reach without having to get in the cab or from in the cab. I work in trucking and that is just what I am used to.

I have mine behind the seat on drivers side. I know its not the best place but better than none!

I have heard some people mounting them up under the bed side in a weather proof box so its easy to get.

With kids, those locations will mean a mess when they kick it.... The driver side floor looks like a good spot.
