Homebrew Deuce Headache Rack

[BFR]

I have just about finished my headache rack/ bed extension

I made the cuts for the framework and tacked it together with my little welder, then dropped it off for the kids in the welding class to burn together.

I am undecided on the deck material, originally I planned to use 1/2" steel diamond plate, but I may just use expanded metal there as well and space the rack upto make up the difference...

Slick Joel...doing an excellent job!

Nice set up cant wait to see it completed.

Joel, did you give up on the K-boom? It doubles as a headache rack and ROP, you know...

 

[BFR]

I have not given up, but this was free (except welding electrodes & wire) still on the hunt for a boom

 

[BFR]

I did a bed "lift" of sorts today (replaced the 3/4" strips between the bed and the frame w/ 1.5") and actually mounted the rack. I still need to paint (it appears the any drought the south eastern United States happens to be suffereing is put on hold any day I have the time to paint).
I thinki I'll mount a pioneer rack between the headache rack and the cab and make up a hilift mount as well.

I really like the look of pipeline beds... it's coming along nicely!

Joel,

Great looking rack.

I have some M1 Tank bustle racks that I plan on cutting down for deuce and 5 ton headache racks.

If any one is interested I have more than I need.

 

[BFR]

anyone need this rack?
I found something else to fit in its spot

 

[Recovry4x4]

Sooooo, what did we find Joel?

space filler

I have a unit off of a 5-ton dump truck that is about 2' wide. It has a spare tire holder on the passenger side and a nice big tool box on the drivers side. It looks like it was just made to fit in that spot between your bed and deck.

After all these years! Did you sell the PTO?

 

[doghead]

Wow, Is that attached to a "universal quick attach" mount? Good luck with that BFR, can't wait to see it working!

 

[clinto]

Awesome!! Where are we going to get it?

 

[BFR]

After all these years! Did you sell the PTO?

yep, all I had to do was give up... so I now I need to decide how to power the pump (which I need to find)

Wow, Is that attached to a "universal quick attach" mount? Good luck with that BFR, can't wait to see it working!

yes quick attach, but I would hate to try to move it with a skidsteer. It will be a while before it is anything other than a truck ornament (again have to work out pump/reservoir.

I need 2560psi @10.5gpm

 

[BFR]

Bjorn, What is your reservoir's capacity?

 

[cranetruck]

About 15 gallons, Joel. You will need a filter/strainer also, perhaps a magnetic filter too, the standard HIAB tank has a large magnetic filter as part of the return fitting assembly (item 6 in the image below).
Connection to the pump from the tank is not shown, it's in the bottom.

Congrats Joel! That will go perfectly on the chicken farm! *grin*
