Trucks are more than just vehicles; they’re the backbone of your work and the key to your adventures. Equipping your truck with the right upgrades can make all the difference in safety, efficiency, and style. Whether you drive a weekend off-road pickup or a heavy-duty work truck, upgrading to high-quality American-made truck accessories will elevate your vehicle’s performance and durability. In this post, we’ll explore how custom aluminum flatbeds, secure tool boxes, and rugged headache racks can transform your truck into a more capable and reliable partner on the road.
Flatbeds, Tool Boxes & Headache Racks
At Wickum Weld, we specialize in crafting custom truck accessories that are built to last. Each product is handmade by skilled American welders using high-grade aluminum and steel, ensuring durability you can trust. Our lineup covers everything from flatbeds for pickups and commercial rigs to specialized aluminum truck tool boxes and protective cab racks (also known as headache racks). Every accessory is designed with real-world challenges in mind – whether it’s keeping your tools dry in the Pacific Northwest rain or protecting your cab on a tough job site, we’ve got you covered with quality and innovation.
Handcrafted Aluminum Flatbeds: Lightweight Strength for Work & Adventure
A custom aluminum flatbed truck bed by Wickum Weld adds hauling capacity and corrosion-resistant durability to a pickup. When it comes to flatbed conversions, aluminum flatbed truck beds offer huge advantages over traditional steel beds. Aluminum is strong yet significantly lighter, which means your truck can haul more and even enjoy better fuel efficiency. And forget about rust – aluminum flatbeds are naturally corrosion-resistant, so they’ll withstand years of rain, mud, and hard use without crumbling. We build each flatbed to your specifications, whether you need a compact bed for a short-box pickup or a full-length custom flatbed for a larger commercial truck. You can choose features like tapered headboards, removable side rails, integrated gooseneck hitches and more to ensure your flatbed fits your exact needs. The result is a tough, streamlined bed that helps you get the job done and looks great doing it.
Secure Truck Tool Boxes: Organize Your Gear and Protect Your Tools
Wickum Weld’s powder-coated aluminum truck tool box keeps gear dry, secure, and easily accessible for a busy tradesperson or outdoor enthusiast.
Every hardworking truck needs reliable storage. Our aluminum truck tool boxes are engineered to keep your gear organized, dry, and secure no matter the conditions. Built from marine-grade aluminum, these boxes are both tough and lightweight – they won’t bog down your truck with excess weight.
Each tool box features weatherproof seals and a clever dual-stage lid latch: the first click vents moisture (allowing wet equipment to dry out) and the second click fully locks down the lid to keep rain and dust out. From contractors stashing power tools to overlanders packing camping gear, everyone appreciates a rugged truck tool box that stands up to the elements. We offer models that span the width of your truck bed (crossover boxes) as well as underbody and side-mounted boxes for flatbeds. If you have unique requirements, we can even build a custom tool box tailored to your truck’s dimensions and your specific needs. No more cluttered cabs or water-logged tools – a quality truck tool box keeps your equipment safe, dry, and easy to reach whenever you need it.
Rugged Headache Racks for Safety and Style
When you’re hauling heavy loads or navigating rough terrain, a headache rack is a must-have accessory. Also called cab racks, these heavy-duty frames shield the back of your truck’s cab from shifting cargo and provide a mounting point for overhead lights, antennas, and more. Wickum Weld offers both light-truck headache racks and Class 8 truck racks for semis and big rigs – all built with the same commitment to strength and craftsmanship.
Our racks are made from thick-gauge aluminum and steel, giving you the best of both worlds: they’re tough enough to protect your cab, yet lightweight enough to avoid unnecessary drag on your vehicle. You can even personalize your rack with our modular clamp system – attach tool holders, work lights, or your company logo plate anywhere along the frame. With a sleek design and durable powder-coated finish, our headache racks not only prevent headaches (literally!) on the job, but also enhance your truck’s appearance. A headache rack is one of the ultimate heavy-duty truck accessories – providing critical protection while giving your vehicle a bold, professional look.
Quality Craftsmanship, Custom Solutions
At Wickum Weld, quality isn’t just a buzzword – it’s our way of life. All our truck beds, boxes, and racks are fabricated right here in the USA by craftsmen who take pride in every weld. Choosing American-made truck accessories means you’re investing in superior materials and workmanship that cheap imports can’t match. It also means you get a perfect fit and design built around your needs and preferences.
Have an unusual request or an idea for a specialized add-on? We thrive on custom projects. Our team will work with you to design and build exactly what you envision – from a one-of-a-kind toolbox layout to a modified flatbed with unique features. This personalized approach ensures you receive custom truck accessories that truly meet your demands. And if you ever need support or modifications down the road, we’re just a phone call away – you’ll be dealing directly with the folks who built your equipment, and who stand by its quality.
Elevate Your Truck – and Your Productivity
Your truck works hard for you; with the right upgrades, it can work even harder. Outfitting your vehicle with high-quality flatbeds, tool boxes, and racks is an investment in your truck’s longevity and in your own productivity on the job. Don’t settle for a factory-standard setup when you can have one that’s tailored to the way you work.
