I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Sam,
If your still light-headed it's because you got a concussion in that fall. Lay off the shooting for a week or two.

He used to do concrete. Those guys don't get hurt when they get hit on the head.

I see a lot of rifles muzzle down in these pics. How many actually carry their guns like this in their trucks?

carry mine muzzle up. there is an interesting article over on LRH. guy takes a punch and knocks a chunk out of the crown of his .308 and still shoots sub MOA. Another guy took a carbide bur to the crown and first 1/2" of barrel and still shot surprisingly good groups given the bore and crown looked worse than most dirt roads I have seen in baja.

Muzzle down in the front seat. That way the barrel isn't pointed at someone's face, which tends to happen at some point during the day with muzzle up carry.

Poobs, that dog is awesome.
CFVA, my dad's juvenile heeler pup goes nuts if we leave him in the pickup. Even if we are in sight working nearby. He really just wants to be doing something with the cows all the time.
Absolute cow terrorist!
He pawed my rifle off the dash today, had a brand new owners manual and he almost chewed it up.
And he knows not to be doing that kind of chit, just so full of energy. They ran a few miles today behind the pickup.
Dog rambling.
J Loco, camo chilly grips bro?
Stylin'!
Dakota, I remember everything so it wasn't very bad. Hit the ground(stunned) but still remember seeing my legs right in front of the duals. Luckily my dad was stopped and didn't drive forward. Stupid move on my part, good reminder to slow down and be more careful!
Ben, now that is stylin'! Nice beater there.....grin
As for the muzzle issue, the dash works great in the feed pickup. Some dashes are not rifle friendly but an '08 Ford works great. '03 not so much. Always taped regardless, always empty chamber, tripped trigger, etc..
The little Kimbers muzzle doesn't even really touch the floor boards. Kinda stays wedged up most of the time.

Agree with muzzle down with passengers, which is rare in my truck, unless its the dog, and she doesnt know any better.

Let's see, truck guns, hummn.......... Maybe not exactly on the same page, but I drive a ford f-350 pickup I hunt, and due to the nature of my business I encounter both two and four legged varmints. What's the old story. I get pulled over by the local constabulary as I don't and never have had a front licnse plate. In Texas you have to show your CHL along with your driver's license. After doing so, the officer asks, Mr. Brown, are you armed. Well, lets see, I have a big sky rack overhead and have a 45-70 guide gun and 12 gauge defender pump ensconsed therein amt 380 back-up in the console Glock 35 long slide in 40.S&W in fanny pack Ruger LCP, 380, in fanny pack not to mention the kahr 9 under my arm and the 38 Smith airweight snubby around my right ankle. He takes a step back and asks, Mr. Brown, what are you afraid of? I calmly reply, Not a friggin thing. Best, GWB

Geedub, looks like your carrying a full arsenal... grin. did the 88's come with custom feedsack seatcovers, too? The 88's got a vinyl bench seat so no need for the feed sacks. In the trucks with cloth seats we have a piece of Ag bag stashed underneath for when needed. But if I really cow flop myself I haven't been afraid to drive home in my boxer shorts...grin As to the barrel question, I usually carry mine behind the seat.

I love heelers, this thread reminds me of how much I miss my last one. She was a hard headed [bleep], but tough as nails. An angus bull rolled her as a pup, after that she hated any black bull with a passion. When I'd dump grain out for the bulls in the pen, she'd go sit in front of the black ones and click her teeth!
Dakota, I remember everything so it wasn't very bad. Hit the ground(stunned) but still remember seeing my legs right in front of the duals. Luckily my dad was stopped and didn't drive forward. Stupid move on my part, good reminder to slow down and be more careful!
[bleep] happens, doesn't it? I'm propped up tonight after having surgery on my foot today, all because of a damned cow.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Thanks, man! I appreciate it.
Hoping I can get up and about pretty quick, need to wire the garage up. Finished building it last night and got butchered on today, talk about taking it down to the wire!

Not a truck, but dogs and guns. Does it still count?
