Re: Headache Racks

Re: Headache Racks

A lot of the guys that are running them around here made their own like Rusty mentioned. This would also let you build it to have the features that you like the best. If you didn't want to build it you could contact a local welding shop and see if they could help you out.

Re: Headache Racks

to be honest ive not noticed the manufacturers as i have designs on having a buddy make mine for me. I would think that Tractor Supply would sell them although they are over priced and you may want to look into Weatherguard products they make alot of truck stuff and equipment. I know Able Welding in Brooklyn NY has them already made maybe on their web site. Also check the JC Whitney web site or just search pickup headache rack on google
