Headache Rack
I am looking for a headache rack for my truck. I was wondering what you have. Likes and dislikes. It will be more for show. I have a SC short bed in dark shadow grey.

I had one on my 87 F150 and really liked it for a canoe rack too, With my SD I went with a bed cover so have not put it back on. In fact if someone wants it for $125 and are in the Seattle area let me know. (excellent condition)

cmprspecial - how did you run the wires?. IE - what path did you take? I am looking at adding a pair of Hella 500 fogs and some sort of yellow strobe.
I installed the rack Thursday. 15 minutes tops! However I installed the lettering facing the cab. Less obvious to my wife. No need for that discussion yet

Near the parking brake on an '04 (somewhere else on other model years) are 4 wires called "customer access" wires, originally installed to run the PTO if equipped. They go from there, out to the engine compartment near the left hood hinge. They are blue, red, white and Black.
For me, I had so many things to run, I bought several feet of 10 gauge trailer 7 wire cable from the RV place. There is a small pass through on the right side of the firewall at the bottom of the dash. I popped the body plug out and ran the harness through there.
Once you get it out of the cab, wire ties did the rest.
PM me if you need any further description.

If you have to run less than 4 circuits, use option 1 from above and run them on the left side up to the harness where the customer access wires are. That way you don't have to run another wire into the cab, they are already there.
