I don't want or need lights on it. That's what the aerodynamic multi vehicle light bar is for.
Thick steel tube so I can be used to tie stuff on to not
bend or crush it, so when I take it off and throw it on the ground it doesn't get a dent in it or get bent.
Most headache rack I see will allow a loose lawn mower to crush the bed against the cab or allow a chunk of firewood to go straight through the back window.

Stand off? The distance between the top of the cab and the top of the bar. I need some standoff so I can ratchet strap propane tanks or welding gas bottles to it and so fire wood doesn't push the mesh glass guard into the glass, breaking it, defeating the purpose.

I don't see anything perplexing about your ask.

Attach to the sides of the bed not down in the bed, for maximum carrying room.

Do you have stake pockets or hold-down hooks to take advantage of? Dimension from the top of the window to the bed floor? Heavy perf metal with light frame?

I've kind of lost interest here as I see few aero aspects in consideration or needed.
Carry on.  |

No interest then, in the idea of putting a wickerbill on a truck cab (rack or no)?

No stake side pockets.
I thought wickerball aerodynamics were to help it spin?

AKA Gurney flap
Quote:
https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Gurney_flap
Gurney flap - Wikipedia
Gurney flap A Gurney flap shown on the underside of a Newman airfoil (from NASA Technical Memorandum 4071). The Gurney flap (or wickerbill) is a small tab projecting from the trailing edge of a wing. Typically it is set at a right angle to the pressure-side surface of the airfoil [1] and projects 1% to 2% of the wing chord. [2]
