    Hey all,

    I'm looking for a headache rack that slants off center to the left. This way
    it can sit closer to the back of my tractor. My exhaust stack is back there.

    I know I have seen them before but, I cannot seem to find them.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Sounds easy enough.
    Do a little "googling" for them in your area.
    Might even be able to get one built that is enclosed with doors and has lights.

    You could also have Magnum or another manufacturer custom build one to the truck. It does not cost much more just takes some time and they need to be able to get at the truck several times for measurements and fitment.

    thank you thank you thank you.

    that's what I was looking for. I wanted the extra room for longer loads and
    dry van.
    Thanks!

    I have this same issue. The company recently put me in a new KW and the exhaust support does not allow a standard rack to be installed. I don't know why, but they are dragging there feet on getting something back there. The headboards are coming off the trailers pretty fast though. Personally, I would feel better with something between the load and my grey matter.
