I am looking for a headache rack that is in good shape for an hj47 pickup. Help, please.

After the first of the year I will be making repros. If you can wait 45 days or so..

No idea on prices yet

interest

I would be interested in just the outside arched peice, and maybe the triangular supports; I think it would work well as a rear for a canopy I would like to make for my bed. So please keep me in mind if that is doable in your production.

I can also make bows that would work for a canopy on a 45. It would take some measuring and fab work for mounting brackets.

How do you imagine the bows attaching to the bed?

supports

Well, I have shortened my bed to be just over 4 ft long, so I think I could get by with just a front (headache rack) and rear bow, with probably 3 spreaders between them (corners and dead center) to maintain the shape of the canopy. As far as attaching to the bed, I was thinking of using the same triangle peices that are on the headache rack, only pointing the other direction. I guess I have to figure how to get around the rear pillars though.... Hmmmm... maybe modify the bottom of the bow to fit in htat slot int he top of the pillar, and then use the triangles mounted to the bed for extra lateral stability. That was the thought anyway.

bows

[bull]

Sort of. They will be round stock with horizontal ties. But yes the same idea

Thank you . I am interested in the rack and bows. I invision the bows being attached to a slide bracket. That way I can mount the track to existing holes that someone already drilled through my top lip of the bed.(they had a camper shell). I saw someone else on this site with a similar setup when I searched for canopies.

Hadley used to sell repros...

Proffitt's Cruisers sells repro headache racks. We can make them out of the same gauge metal as the factory or a little heavier.

Price is $350 + shipping.

A picture of one can be found on the Proffitt's Cruisers website under the red 45LPB photo section

 

[Chef]

That's a great option; the stock ones aren't so stout.
