Default Need Storage Rack for Pickup, HELP!

yup! that sounds about right! I just went to town/ didn't have a good plan when I started, just started cutting PVC 'till it looked right! I still haven't added PVC glue and do not think I will ever have to (we'll see!) the uprights on the left of the picture (with the Eagles wings in it) are mounted in the first and last horiz. pieces. The uprights on the righ side are mounted on the first and THIRD horizontal, so I can put shorter (60") wings. Also, there is room in the middle for one .60-size fuse ( I have a .60 CAP 21 that fits), and I can fit one more .60-sizer next to the Eagle fuse on the bed. One of the guys at my club cut a piece of 3/4" ply to fit the bottom of his truck bed and screws threaded inserts into it so he can screw in small (1/4-20) eyebolts for tiedown points to keep the fuses from rolling around. GREAT IDEA!!! Good luck w/ your racks, there are lots of ways to configure them to suit your individual needs. Have fun with it!!! I have been wanting to do this for years now, but thought it would cost too much, take too much time, etc. but it was a cheap and fun project that I finished in a couple of hours. Boy am I glad I finally did this!!!!!

Regards,

Jeff
