headache racks

[NBowlin]

i have spent the better part of an evening looking for a decent headache rack. most of them i seen are just, i dont know how else to say it, wimpy looking. i know there are enough crafty individuals on here that some of you are running a good looking h-rack. if you wouldnt mind taking the time. i would like to see them. thank you i appreciate it.

Heres a couple of nice ones. I have not seen the younger bros in person but the B&W one I have and it is very nice.

check out the heavy duty rack system

go down the left column a bit and you will see it there



Trying to decide between the two now. Can only imagine shipping is a bit steep on something like that so I am leaning towards the B&W since once in awhile I am in eastern Kansas and could just pick it up.

I like my Pro-Tech. Pretty stout and really light.

I made mine, and I love it. If you have access to standard 3" channel, a cut off saw and a welder it's not hard. I'll see if I can find a picture and post. This is a must have piece if you take a goose neck trailer off the main road. Especially since these Dodge trucks set up so high. I've saved the side of my bed several times.

Here's a picture of the one I made. A lot of the farmers in this area have something similar.

NBowlin, Check my reader rigs gallery. My headache rack is from South West Fabricators in Junction, TX (www.southwestfabricators.com). All-welded construction and welded to the bed caps, which are about 3x2 angle iron diamond plate. Sturdy setup imho. Window cutout is available, as are many other options (they are built to order). Happy shopping! Alan.

off topic

Why are they called "Headache racks"?



Do they rattle and give you a headache?

It is suppose to prevent loads from entering the cab on short stops/ frontal impact collision. Jeremy.

Weather guard makes a great headache rack. I have it on my company truck and it really takes a beating!

4 years ago I worked for a local company that makes Headache Racks called Rack-It. They make a real good product IMO. Listed below is a link to a company that sells the racks I'm talking about.
