Hey guys

I need help. We need to get a headache rack on the back of my dad's cab, but we have a window decal for the business there so we need a real simple headache that is basically just the outline of the cab.

Similar to those that the Progress Energy pickup trucks have, at least in Florida.

If anyone has any links it'd be appreciated, google isn't helping this time.

 

just curious why a headache rack is a necessity? not say that it's not i just cant think of a need personally

 

*not saying that it's not..

 

Because a ladder rack/dual racks is expensive and a headache rack should be cheaper due to less material.

But we need something to stick out above the cab for whenever we are hauling our longer ladders of long lengths of material that'd stick too far out of the bed.

 

would fab-ing one up yourself with some square tubing or angle iron be out of the question?

 

Yep. Zero welding experience. Zero metal work experience in general really. Closest I've come is bolting shelving together or soldering pipes.

I know I've seen the kind of rack we need around, mainly on the Progress Energy trucks, once on ebay, but all I can find now is backracks and they obscure too much window and aren't high enough

 

what about finding a stake hole ladder rack? the view of the decal would still be there plus you could haul ladders as well as use your bed.
