Headache Rack

Does anyone have a headache rack installed (behind cab style) on their fridge? I am considering it but how do they look on the old fridges? Please give pics if you have one to help me decide.

Thanks!

I think they would like fine esp. if you had the grill guard as well.

I agree, I think the headache looks good on any truck.

One main reason I am thinking of one is also to be a light bar for Off-road, backup, and bed lights. Plus I like them on the newer trucks I see that have them. Just haven’t seen any Fridges with it...

Anyone have pics for me???

Maybe I am thinking light bar like the old 70's chrome tube roll-bar looking units... Dont want to keep chickens in my truck or have issues seeing out of the mesh screen either!

Seventies trucks were wider? You may have to make your own or modify one.

I like it Brett, especially with the grill guard. Since you floated the idea of the grill guard, I've been thinking about one too. I don't like the look of the newer roll bars, but if you could find something to match the grill guard I think it would tie the look together and look great.

Not many 57-60's with headache racks?

I think your right. I would likely need to make my own one way or another but not convinced. I was hoping to see one on a fridge here on the forum before going to all the trouble and then hating it when done! I like Steve's grab bars he put on his rig... Seriously, doesn't anyone have one on their 1957-60 that can share a pic?
