Ladder Rack for flareside bed?
I've agreed to buy a 2004 supercab with flareside bed with 190K miles on the odometer. Truck has had an easy life as a highway commuter -- no towing or heavy hauling. It's in pretty decent overall condition and the owner is asking $7500 for it. Sounds like a pretty decent price to me, in spite of the higher mileage.
Problem is that I'm having a heck of a time finding a ladder rack for it. I'd like to install a TracRac, but they explicitly exclude the flareside models from their product line. Does anyone know if weatherguard's 1200 series aluminum racks or any other similar system would work on this truck?
A local place suggested the LoadFlex by Adian Steel, but I'd prefer the added cargo area of the aforementioned products?
