He he...love the cattle prod....


I also wanna reiterate the fact that this stuff should be stored in a box. My best friend was hit by a DUI and caused him to flip his taco. Please keep that in mind.

Some of these lists are getting a little crazy.... I think theres less crap in my house than some of y'alls trucks...

And I'm intrigued by the whole cattle prod thing and what the hell you use it for...

My 81 (my super hick utility truck/shed) has the following;
-semi jumper cables (bigger is better)
-giant thing of brake fluid (the master cylinder leaks right now)
-blankets
-tarps
-bungee cords, rope and other restraints
-rusted out tow chain I got from the previous owner
-shovel, broom, hoe, axe
-craftsman garage style toolbox bolted to the bed (has harbor freight tools in it lol)
-road maps from 1975 (all from previous owner)
-about 5 different types of flamable liquids just behind the seat (starting fluid, wd-40, carb cleaner, you get the idea...)

This truck certaintly turns heads, but it helps me get **** done thats for sure...

Well some men who's work is also their life have things like this. I have plenty of Rancher friends back home that usually have one in at least one or 2 rigs. It's to get that cattle moving when their been stubborn, or for entertainment when people ask you dumb questions Though, there is usually a rifle in their too...

Varies, but generally:
-Tow chain sufficient for pulling the Reese hitch off the frame of my F-150
-Small socket, screwdriver, wrench set
-Duct and electrical tape
-Flashlight
-Matches
-At least two gallons of gas in whichever tank I'm not using
-Assorted straps and tie-downs
-Hatchet/hammer
-Box cutter
-Large knife
-Assorted pieces of scrap wood
-Hoodie, jacket, or blanket
-Hi-Lift jack
-At least one deck of cards
-Notebook, pen(pencil, marker)
-Novel(s) and magazine(s)
-Shop manual
-Enough spare change to fill a two gallon gas can
-The tire changing equipment that almost everyone with an old Ford truck has rusted solid under the hood
-The remains of the ridiculously useless spare tire holder
-Shovel, either full size or of the E-tool variety
-Hose clamps and scrap rubber/metal to use with them
-Cheapo motor oil, it is a Ford after all!

in my tool box i have all my tools-basically every tool you would need to build a barn or work on a truck - my little 14" chain saw with 1 gallon of gas - lots of different sized straps and bungee cords - work lights - jumper cables - heavy trash bags - extension cords

in my bed- 20 foot of chain - 40 foot tugboat rope(works as good as any ****** strap but was free!) - and if i am going out in the snow or offroad or some thing i usually throw a 6 gallon can of gas and a come-a-long - 2 shovels

in my cab i have 2 blankets - change of clothes - jacket - raincoat - bunch of lighters - 100 bucks cash hidden real well - toilet paper(beats the hell outta using leaves) - cb radio - power inverter - and either a shotgun or rifle or both depending apon where i am going - flashlights - bunch of crappy knives and one leatherman - a couple pads of paper and pens

pile of tools, jumper cables, jack and lug wrench, Cb radio, phone, couple knives, usually some extra clothing, and matches. The ability to make fire is a valuable thing.
