When I was in PSI, Mike Diamond had this comprehensive truck stock list and I asked the very same question. Thats when I realized it wouldnt have done me any good to follow the leader. I guess the water heaters out there have to be strapped off. I still dont know what it looks like.

If I can make a suggestion here. I think I would use a coke or pepsi clear bottle.

or you may get one of these

I prefer Gatorade or Powerade bottles for their size.

Oh, and if you have to ask what to stock, you don't need to know.
