What is with the COWBELLS???

[Renegade-Diesel]

Can anybody tell me what hanging a cowbell off the rear bumper or hitch stands for. The missus saw some trucks with them on at the pulls and now she wants to put one on my truck. I told her "No Way" until I know what it means. I can understand hanging one of the "nutz" on but a "cowbell"? I am sure that the knowledgable folks here will enlighten me. Thanks, Skip

Its when the truck pulls into the field, the cows come a running to the bell cause they know its feed time!

I had some on my black F150 I had them untill the crome fell off. I got so many coments and hots and hollars from other motorists it wasnt even funny. have fun with yours!

it used to be great watching people in your rear view mirror pointing and talking about em.

Its the same thing as having nutz. They didn't have the nutz back when the cowbell started. I guess you could say the cowbell is the original nutz.

I got a cow bell on my truck, but I work with cattle so i think its ok.

Just like everything it started with a real function and quickly became a fad...
