Im rebuilding my flatbed to go on my f250 crewcab, wanting a full cab length roof rack attached to the headache rack. Needing ideas on the front support from the cab to the roofrack

Don't attach anything to the cab. Post a pic of your existing flatbed and I will try and give some guidance

I know the best way to do it but I dont want a wide brace off my headache rack due to it being a shortbed. Trying to figure out how to do a bracket up front. Nothing heavy going up there except the spare tire more than likely.

Not necessary to have a front mount, especially if it's only carrying a tire. When we build them, they can hold about 600 lbs and no front mount or big brace. (I mean I guess "big" is relative) ours are six inch

Could you post some pics for ideas?
