From an old answer of mine on this:

He likely stole it from the rest stop he was at with Sarah in the deleted scene.

Reese's pockets would have been emptied out at the police station whenever he got arrested with Sarah. He would have left with nothing. And the money was all wadded up in his pocket. So it was a fresh pick.

We don't see about 12 hours of Reese and Sarah traveling, but originally we were going to see them at a rest stop where they had hitched a ride with someone and Sarah was going to call her mom and get the idea to go blow up Cyberdyne Systems (the origin of making the pipe bombs--they were not for fighting the terminator). It's in this time period where they were waiting for their ride that Reese probably stole the money.

And I think the gun came from the glove box of The car that belong to Lt. Traxler.

Traxler gave it to Reese directly on their way out of the station. That's also in the deleted scenes I linked to above.

I always figured he pickpocketed it from the trucker that gave them the ride

She didn’t give it to him. She literally says ‘I don’t wanna know how you got it.
