Look at Diamond B Accessories or Southwest Fabricators. Both out of Texas, but the Texans make the best stuff for your rig(I am also a little biast). Also Ranch Hand.

mine is one off of a chevy, it is about 1.5" narrower and I had to cut off the lip that wraps around the front side of the front bulkhead. I don't mind it being narrower, I use the flange that sits on the bedrail as tiedown points. you can see their website @ www.protech.net

This may sound a bit odd, but I dont know of anyone that has purchased a headache rack. Everyone at work has fabed their own. I like cquestads because it doesn't have the bars sticking up to hold pipe.

The ones I have seen run to the bed of the truck and are bolted to a the frame by way of a cross bar under the bed.

I still have the one I used to have on my powerjoke but, I never tried to put it on my dodge, it was custom made for a 93 F-150 in Texas somewhere and when I got my Superduty it fit like a glove so I used it, decided I didnt want it for my dodge so pu tit behind my shed with the intention of maybe selling it..... never got around to it (dont let my wife see this thread)

I'm not a fan of Ranchhand anything. When I get it done for my truck, I am going with South Texas Outfitters. They do custom jobs. My brother and a friend have both gone there and they treat you well. You can tell them exactly what you want and they will build it for you. I will try to get a pic of my brother's headache rack. Just my .02.

I have a ranchhand that is only a year old. I'm going to put stacks on so I have to get rid of it. PM me..... I think I paid around $499 for it. It has running and back up lights on it, and has the louvered sections except for the center. Make me a offer.
