Made a bumper from sheet aluminum marker lights from ornament hanger,toolbox from flat sheet with KFS locks and lights from P/box. Fender's also flat sheet.5th wheel corver it to is flat sheet. Stacks from ink pen's,elbows from a parts tree. Replaced the 3406 (It's in another build) with a V8 from the revell KW. Decals by Mag.Still needs airlines/glad hands but I will call it done.

Headache Rack is a slang term for the cab guard mounted behind the cab or sleeper. In the event a load on a flatbed shifts forward, the cab guard is supposed to stop the cargo - thus preventing a headache.

Whats a headache rack? I know quite a bit about trucks [not near as much as you guys] but I have never heard of one of those.
