Yes, that's why I think it works. The best character pairings, platonic or otherwise, are usually the atypical ones.

They have common ground in enough areas to make the difference work. Both have very similar backgrounds/family, and because of that they know fishing, guns, football, etc.
Very red-neckish childhoods, but were loved.
Both are feisty as hell and stubborn.
