Scored an old 8ft katahdin welding rack for $125, a little work with the portable band saw and she fits like a glove:
Nice rack. Those Katahdin Welding Racks are really nice. I don't like how they don't cap the end of the rails though. Hope the truck is going good for you!

Oh they do cover the ends, I just cut that one down from an 8 footer and am too lazy to go bother my friend to weld another post by the back and put an end cap on. Not worth the time for a $125 rack. When you pay $600 for a new one you get end caps, and a proper length lol.

$600 for a new rack?!?! That's crazy. I built my own for right around $100.

Haven't had much yet, but I'm happy with them so far. Plenty of siping really makes a difference. I think they were the best option for the money that I was willing to spend.
Very nice truck!!!! I have an 8.1 allison with 4.10 gears most Ive gotten is 11mpg. Plowing is around 7 and thats with wet heavy snow about 5inches. The truck is great with the cattle trailer it walks away with it.
