Simple Pickup Cargo Rack

Simple Pickup Cargo Rack PICKUPS Accessories “When it came time to replace the old wood rack on my pickup I decided I wanted a rack with less wind resistance ” says Graham Robertson Westminster Md “My solution was to make a rack from leftover pieces of cattle panels To make it easy to install and remove I welded 1/2-in nuts on the ends of each wire panel The side panels connect by dropping a 1/4-in steel rod through the nuts In place of hinges for the door I used 1/2 and 5/8-in nuts A 1/2-in bolt runs down through the 5/8-in nut not tightened A piece of scrap U-channel metal runs across the top rear panel to stiffen it The cage stands inside the pickup box cut to fit around wheel wells “We do petting zoos for local children so we can just take the cage out and set it upside down to hold a lamb or other animal ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Graham Robertson 3816 Wine Road Westminster Md 21158 ph 410 848-3390; sheep4me@hotmail com
