So I've decided to order a Ballie Built half cab cage, but here is my dilema! I'm thinking of doing a simple stock style bar for the bed of the half cab. I spoke with Gordon to get his input and he gave me some ideas and as usual I figure I'd bounce them off you guys.
If I do a bar for the back to match the front it would be made for 1&1/2" tubing. Might look small or weak compared to the 2" normally used. Now if I go 2" it will look good with the top on but when I take the top off it will be miss matched and might look outta place.
Third option might be able to make a back bar out of 1&3/4" and keep the 1&1/2" for the inside of the half cab.
I took some spare tubing I had laying around and for my street truck I wasn't to opposed to the 1&1/2" and I think I liked the 1&3/4" even more but the 2" looks too big for my rig.
Ok let me have it and in case you haven't seen it, this is the rig I'm working with. Thanks as always and there are no wrong answers!!
