View Full Version : Rod holders for a truck bed help needed vineyardblues 05-13-2007, 09:44 AM Anyone have any ideas for inside a 8 ft bed ? Thanks in advance VB MAC 05-13-2007, 11:37 AM I've got a short bed now, but this rack has been my last 3 trucks. Had to give it a nice coat of fresh paint though to put it in the truck I drive now. luds 05-13-2007, 11:55 AM I ended up buying a used track rack which has worked out great but here are few ideas I was given previously. http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripertalk/showthread.php?t=34153&highlight=truck+rack nightfighter 05-13-2007, 12:56 PM Mac, How do you keep that from sliding? I don't see tiedowns or fasteners... BigFish 05-13-2007, 01:43 PM In my truck Peter I have a bedliner with these "slots" molded into the side! So because I did not want to screw or bolt it into the bedsides, and I wanted it easy to remove I built a 1 piece rack from 2 by 4's that is kept in place by the molded slots in the bedliner....holds 9 rods, my big igloo cooler.....all kinds of room! Cost me a couple hours and about $20.00 worth of 2 by 4's and hardware! I will post a pic shorly! MAC 05-13-2007, 02:23 PM Mac, How do you keep that from sliding? I don't see tiedowns or fasteners... I used 1/4" x 3" lags. I know it's crude but then again it is a truck. :) macojoe 05-13-2007, 02:35 PM I haave a short bead, I took a 2 X 12 and cut long enough to go in the slots of my bed liner. Added 6 plastic rod holders $5 each at walfart. Works great. I am now making a piece to go from the stake holes across the back to hold down the tips on long rides, they bounce pretty good in my short bed. But far from hitting anything. http://syncboard.com/albums/album03/Picture_111.jpg http://syncboard.com/albums/album03/Picture_109.jpg justplugit 05-13-2007, 03:04 PM This one is made of 3/4" and 2x4 cedar. Fits inside bed liner. 13 years old, held up pretty good. BigFish 05-13-2007, 03:12 PM Some pics! BigFish 05-13-2007, 03:13 PM One more!
