for my neighbor. He's an old (in his 80's) roofer who has always had "real" work trucks, but got this new truck and can't find racks anywhere. I can't find anything, either.

I'm not that up on the newer models, but there has to be some way to do it...

He's not looking to load them too much; typically just a ladder.

Any ideas?

TIA

 

Most ladder racks use the stake pockets.
Styleside Long bed and short bed have stake pockets but I'm pretty sure that the flareside 97-03 never had stake pockets.
Don't know about 04 and up.

He is probably gonna have to rig something up.
