Ford Ranger Regular Cab Gun Rack
couldnt find a rack that i could afford and would fit in my truck. so i made one. here is how i did it.
Get the Stuff.
aluminum flat stock. (i used 3/4" wide, 1/8" thick) you will need about 3'. i bought 8' for $10.
Tape measure,
Marker
Pliers
Hacksaw
File
Cut the Stock
all you need is a 14" peice for each. cut away with the hacksaw and file the cut end smooth.
measure 7" and create a 180 degree bend with about 1/2" space between the two ends.
with the remaining 7", bend a U shape big enough to hold your firearm of choice.
go inside the truck and pull back the liner behind the seats. (doesnt have to be much). you will see a series of slots. this is where the hook will sit.
Install It!!
all you have to do is slide it into the slot and away you go. ( i used some weatherstripping as padding to protect the guns)
