Need A Rack For The Truck!

Curious if any of you yakkers have a pickup with a rack on top of the bed for carrying your yak? I have an 06' Silverado extended with a 6' bed. Thinking of buying a TracRac rack and mounting wheelies on the rear and a cradle in the front to carry mine....any advice or recommendations?? Thanks in advance!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I'm on my second TracRac, just great for all around uses. Never put a yak on top but I do a canoe, no special brackets necessary.

Please show a pic when you get it installed, I have the GMC version of your truck and was wondering about a yak-rack,too.

I have a 6 3/4 bed F250. Even the 14' kayak goes in the back with the tailgate down. Tied at the back, middle, and front. Never had any problems at all. I tie a red shirt around the front of the kayak (which hangs out the back).
