Bills72sj Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 Hi all, I am looking for pics of headache racks AKA cab guards. I am building some rigs with flatbeds and would like to get or scratch build a couple. Please share the kit you sourced it from or vendor that sells it. If you scratch built it, please share how you did it.

Fat Brian Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 I scratch built this one. The ribbed portion is from a Plastruct sheet with Evergreen strip around it. The other bits are more Evergreen and the chains are from the Hobby Lobby jewelry section. It's meant to look home built and doesn't represent any specific style or brand. This one is pretty much the same, the handles are from the Revell snap Peterbilt kit.

tbill Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 Chains are from hobby lobby jewelry section, not sure where I got the hooks

Bills72sj Posted January 1, 2020 Author Posted January 1, 2020 Thank you everyone for sharing. I think I am going the scratch built route for my 1st two.
