    No, I must not have been very clear. Some were not the best looking exteriors but there were a few that were fine and the interiors of the few I peeked at (couldn't get in them) weren't bad. They were in better shape interior wise than the T6's for sure. But... they are pushing 700k. Which was totally not an option for us running team.

    I'm looking at a 99 Century, and I noticed this sticker on it. The salesman has no records of it, but this is a rebuilt turbo. But can anybody tell me how old this turbo is by the tag? Is the 126 12-06?

    Rag........My pockets just aint that deep to afford to wear Lucchese boots.

    One of my pairs of Lamas are quills...my dress boots...fit perfect. I forgot when I bought them, but it was probably 10 years ago, still look like new....they just don't get much use.

    Work boots are Red Wings....gotta be steel toes in the oilfield.

    Luis,

    It depends on what you're doing. When I was hauling cars, I wore sneakers when I was loading because they gave me better footing when I was walking the upper deck. I wore boots...Red Wings non steel toe for everything else including driving.

    I've slipped from time to time no matter what I was wearing. The main thing to keep in mind is that you need to protect your ankles...you just aint gonna do that with sneakers.
     
    Luis Thanks this.

    Luis, your gonna slip around with any shoe/boot. nothing is sure for a footing, thats why there are so many grab points on rigs..

    Basic rule is maintain 3 points of contact at all times, and you should be golden
     
    Luis Thanks this.
