Nifty Pickup Tie-Down Racks
![]() |
They're made from 1/2-in. sq. steel stock and angle iron. Each rack has several pairs of steel hooks that lay flat inside the frame in a way that keeps them from catching on anyone working around the truck. A length of round steel stock at the top prevents "rope burns" on the sides of the pickup when the load isn't very tall.
Each rack bolts to the box with three 1 1/2-in. long carriage bolts. A 1/4-in. thick rubber cushion protects the box.
Buys builds tie-down racks for any pickup for $225 plus S&H. He's also willing to sell plans for $25.
