Here in a few weeks I will be building a headache rack for my truck and i was looking for a few ideas. Thanks for the help.

Here you go. The angle iron is 2x2-3/16 thick The tubing is 14 gauge 1-3/4". The headach rack is welded to the angles that go around the 3 sides of the bed, as are the stake pockets. The stake pockets are spaced approximately two feet apart. An angle is welded to the top of the stake pockets and is 8" above the bed. With the extra 8" I can load up the bed just like a long bed. The 'tray' fits into the stake pockets as well & rotates out of the way so I can get to the toolbox.

As much as I greatly dislike Ranch Hand, I'd recommend buying a Ranch Hand Head Ache Rack. They're the best head ache rack on the market. When time and material are figured in, it's the same cost as to buy one.

I have the Ranch Hand Headache Rack - It is well made, serves the purpose well also. They have pics on their website. I have built my own in the past, cost to build in materials is the same as buying one without all the work.

Originally I thought about buying one but then its just another headache rack. I like building my own since you can do those little things that make it look just right. The one on my Chevy I used diamond plate as gussets and caps on the uprights and cut the rails to perfectly match the top of the bed. I guess I'm a stickler for details.
Anyway thanks everone for the photos now I have some more ideas.
