Headboard

[wldrman]

This is a custom headboard I whipped up for my F-250. I don't know how long it took, but I do remember getting lost in my garage shop for a weekend. I made the spider body from a block of 6061 aluminum. The legs were cut from sheet stock and ground in by hand then welded on the body using a Miller Dynasty.

That looks oddly familiar? :eek: ;)

Just when you think you're the only one...
That's great!
What's the spider made of?

[Nunya]

:o It ain't as fancy as yours. This one is made of mild steel. The spider is a former trailer hitch ball. It's attached by a ¼" diameter round rod that allows the spider to *crawl* across the webbing. Actually, it sorta swings in an arc from the pivot point at the top of the gate. I've got plans for a bed rack that will have smaller webs for the support gussets.
Be careful of the people behind you that want to get a closer look at your headache rack.
Nice job.
