Looking for a 1st gen bed bar. Can't find one.

Demello makes one for the 2nd gen, but not 1st. Here's a link to show what it looks like. Am I better off having a weld shop make one?

I have a rack from Rack It Inc. that has a moveable bed bar. It's useful for hauling long lumber (lumber rests from fixed bar to moveable bar so it's not stressing the tailgate). It's also good for holding big items like fridges up against the headache rack. When the bar is in place it also prevents the bed sides from bending in when I'm ratcheting things in.

Relentless Fabrication makes one for the 1st gen. I was looking for one too, and they offer different options on theres for a good price.

 

Wow, that's a great price. Only $80 and light tabs added at no cost. So much cheaper than Demello. I will have to treat myself for christmas.
