Play around a little to see what looks right.

BTW I really like your truck. The color, wheel and cap choice, stance, everything. Have fun.
Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate the feed back. I really like the metal tubing with the wood and may check to with some of my body shop connections to see about welding in some tubing. I like the T idea and will probably incorporate that and use oak wood in the end after the mock up. I will post an update as I go along. I also found this rack which is pretty sweet below.
I'll figure something out.
