Bills72sj Posted December 2, 2019 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Brian Posted December 4, 2019 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one style I think I can accomplish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wood perimeter on the deck is novel too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
