I want to build a head rack, Everyone has a "Back Rack" and I don't really see the purpose of them, I need something that protects the rear window and will hold a Amber light plus 4- 8 3/4" Hella lights, I don't want a roll bar that takes up bed space hto, anyone with any pics or ideas would be great

 

I know Ranch Hand makes some good Headache racks and maybe just for some ideas on making one. Check them out at www.ranchhand.com

 

What exactly is a back rack? I've never heard of 'em.

 

I'm not sure what the real purpose is but this is what they look like - http://www.ranchhand.com/headacheracks.htm

 

Just a hint, when you make your rack make it a little higher than the cab height. I bought one that was even with the cab height. It was no problem as most loads were from back bottem of box and cleared the cab because of the angle but when I had my construction box in the back the longer loads resting on it, would almost rest in the cab. I was going to have a post hole rack made to carry longer loads but the rack was to small in height to carry long level loads.

Sorry about the long post.

 

This is the rack that i put on my truck. I know that it is not a home made job but i feel it was well worth the $$$. It will hold 400lbs, if i remember. Cost should be between 300 and 400 unless you have contacts.\

 

This is more along the lines of what I am looking for

 

Oh i see. That looks nice.

Sorry, I know this is an old thread, but I was able to find it while searching for a headache rack for an F150. Came across this headache rack and thought I might share. I'm new to the forum...so hello everybody.
