Title may throw you for a loop. We are getting a new truck sometime this year, and have decided we want a headache rack. We also have plenty of truck toolboxes, but have never put them on our farm pickups because we need the room in the bed. The rack will be custom built, of course.
I've come up with the idea, that if we have a headache rack, we may be able to lift a toolbox up and above the load that's in the bed.
I've thought of one good, completely working way- a light duty, 500-1000# winch mounted to the frame, the cable will come up between the cab and the bed, where it will then be put over a pully on top of the headache rack, then it reaches down to the frame holding up the toolbox and picks it up.
Confusing, but can anyone give me a good way to do this?
