    1112161110a.jpg Home depot online, it was about $90 shipped. Pretty sturdy, rated for 500 lbs. I probably wouldn't do that, but I've had 150 easy up there

    Rack-It is a pretty popular mfr here in southern calif. Nearly 1/2 of the contractor/lumber racks you see on the road are Rack-It products. Best deals can be found on Craigslist...

    Check CL I gave mine away for the cost of a steak dinner and a couple of frosty beverages on my 85 truck.

    Your in Vermint it seems everyone has racks on there trucks

    Find a used one have a local welder adapt it to fit your truck .

    No doubt you could play lets make a deal.

    Since I am unable to weld wood I never touch it.

    I just picked one up on Craigslist that fits around a camper shell! It's awesome and very stout for the $300 that I paid!

    That's what I would like. But haven't seen any used ones around here. The regular ones for a truck without a shell are always popping up.

    I would keep a sharp eye out! I wanna say I had to watch CL for two months solid to find it. I was heartset on that type though, and brand new they're crazy expensive!
