    Is the "Bad Boy" pic of a White 3000 but with diesel engine? Look like a stack on it. We used to see these gas jobs in 53-54 running FL to NY and heavy from Atlanta up across the Carolinas. Tough little boogers, that "Mustang" engine would rattle windows all over Athen, GA pulling up from the river bridge in 2nd gear. I know of one sitting up, still hooked to a 32 ft SS Fruehauf. Looks like a kiddy car compared to todays rigs.

    If so, grab up that Tub-0-Prep H.
    I hear it lasts for years. :biggrin_2559:
    Might still be useful.

    I doubt Wellingtons offend anybody, except maybe the flip-flop crowd.
    Me too.
    We called 'em "ropers" though, because when calf ropin' --- they're easier to run in while chasin' the calf with piggin' string in mouth.
    Those boots are made for drivin'
    And that's just what they'll do
    One of these daze these boots are gonna
    Drive on ahead of you. :biggrin_25523:
    Straw or felt?
    The thang about cowboy hats is how they're worn
    and the style of the crown and brim.
    SOME folks just DON'T look the part in a cowboy hat, usually because they try to wear one just like their favorite Country/Western singer, ---- who only wears 'em on stage.

    But when the style fits the wearer, like often seen in the Great State of Texas, they look
    marvelous.

    IMO, style only counts if it's practical, and NEAT. It takes all kinds to make the world go-round,.......... but when I see shorts, tank-tops and flip-flops in Wisconsin around December, ---
    I can't help but wonder if those drivers are a few sandwiches shy of a picnic. :biggrin_25523: :biggrin_25526:
