  3. well for the money I think going for a Pete or KW for the money i can have a big truck with big motor and better breaks for less money and built to do a days work. keeping my old 92 dogde for run around and geting big one to pull my trailer and haul cows and hay looking at 98 pete for under 20,000 and thinking that is the way for me to go if can find a duble over drive should get about 9-11 mpg

  4. Here Welder this is not guite what your looking for but should help. This is the site where I found this http://www.brettunsvillage.com/leather/conversions.html .

    As a general rule, each ounce of thickness is roughly equal to 1/64 of an inch in thickness.

    As an example, 8 oz leather is 8/64" thick, which is the same as 1/8".

    Some simple examples of thickness based on US coins:

    A dime = 3 oz

    A penny = 3.5 oz

    A quarter = 4 oz

    A nickel = 4.25 oz So, dig this: 6 oz leather is like two dimes stacked one atop the other.

    8 oz is two quarters stacked together.

    12 oz is three quarters stacked together.

    i know this is not what size to use on what but shere helps you thinks of how thick the leather is.

  6. Well my first thought of a cowboy's truck would be a 72 ford 4x4 the tall ones . With a stock rack on it with one or 2 saddles tied to the rack with a 30- 30 in the back window. This is my first thought of a truck.

    AS looking back in the 80 as I roped a lot it was a stock trailer 6 x 16 and a crewcab pickup. Was way up town it had A/C in but still hand crack windows and no power locks lol

    in the 90 was horse trailers with dressing rooms and nice trucks and some made over 2 ton turcks to pull th trailers for the rodeo guys

    back on most working ranches we have a old pick up to feed and take care of the cows and fence and wish we hand a nice new truck to drive to town and show off but with gas going and calf pirces down we just have to keep driveing the old ones and watch the rodeo guys drive by in the new little peterbuilts made up to pull trailer as thay go by with the big long trailers with the living quarters in them.

    so I might say all trucks are used just have to deside what cowboy your taking about

    thanks for your time on my thoughts
