well, i wanted a headache rack, but i didn't just want a normal, regular, run of the mill Back Rack. A friend of mine had just got a new plasma cutter, so that was the inspiration to get myself started. I had the rack all drawn up for about 6 months before i had the chance to start.
About a year ago, my uncle had made a headboard on his two flatbed pickups out of 5"x2" box steel, and i liked the idea. So i got to thinking, and drawing. this is the final product:
5"x2"x3/16" box steel frame
2"x1/8" flat stock for the bowtie outline
3"x1/8" flat stock for the louvers
2"x18" stainless flat stock for the CB antenna mounts
1 pint of POR-15
500 total LED diode's:
2 amber turn signals on the side
2 brake and tail lights on the top
4 (2 front, 2 rear) amber flashers with 10 different self contained flash patterns, available to change by adding 12v power for three seconds
2 cargo lights, on the stock cargo light switch on the dash
