Description

When you equip your rig with the Painted Headache Rack, you don't need a flatbed to safely haul ladders, lumber, pipes and other oversized cargo. That's because this workhorse headache rack boasts extended vertical uprights to contain your longer freight.

From the inside out, the Painted Headache Rack is built to withstand the rigors of real-world working conditions. The frame is wrought from heavy-duty 1.25", 16 gauge boxed steel tubing. And, steel louvers run across the length of your rear window, shading the sun and guarding against cracks. The top louver is split to make room for your cab-mounted brake light. For select trucks, there is an optional gap down the middle of the louvers for rear-window access.

Your custom-made Painted Headache Rack bolts securely onto your top bedrails. And, you have the choice of either white or black powder coating, which carries a 6-month warranty. What's more, the workmanship and materials are backed by a 3-year warranty.

Headache rack on '99 GMC 1 ton

"The rack arrived quickly, in two days, by UPS ground. It installed quickly and easily although it required drilling two additional holes in the bed rail because the holes that lined up with the stake pocket was clear at the back of the mounting foot. It seems very sturdy against forces going forward but very weak if the force is to the rear. It looks good. I'll just have to be sure not to secure anything to it that will pull it backwards."

Great rack, mounting hardware is garbage

"This headache rack is really great. It looks good and the utility is great too. The only problem I had was the instructions and mounting hardware. The instructions were hand written and had very poor diagrams. You will be amazed - I thought it was a joke! Also the mounting hardware was impossible to use. The bolts included were really not optimized for this setup. I just used self-tapping screws and bolted the thing into the bed rails and it's holding up great. I had to run to the store a few times for screws/bolts ect. but once you have supplies that you can use, install takes less then one hour with two people."

"Looks Great and I couldn't be happier. I received all the hardware and the install was easy. I got lucky and me the UPS guy at my door after work. The only problem I had was that one plastic plug must have fallen out in shipping that pluggs the top of the side bars. But I fised that with some foam sealant. Thanks."

"you've got a good product.But you've got to do more research on how it bolts up,and directions might help,the j-bolts you sent were about an inch to short.We had to bend them 90 degrees and had to drill a hole above the factory hole,than grind a slot to raise the bolt up,but I'm happy with your product and I plan on buying a fithwheel tailgate pretty soon."

"The quality of the rack is good. They need to re-evaluate the instalation material and the way the material is packaged for shipment. My order arrived wrapped in a foldover piece of cardboard taped at the bottom. The instilation kit was inside attatched to the rack in an envelope that was torn. I am not sure if all of it was there as I was not able to use any of the bolts provided and I think most of it was missing. I will order from you agaim because you prices are second to none, but you need to look at you packaging of the products you ship."
