I built a custom canoe rack for my Ram truck with ramboxes. I recently sold my canoe and no longer need the rack. Worked perfectly and is easy to take apart for easy storage. $100

Where is it located. How wide, can it hold two 36 inch canoes side by side?

Located in Mountain Lake, MN. It's 73.5" where the canoes go.

Can I ask how it secures to the truck bed?

Because of the rambox bed it's snug under all of the rails. I transported locally without any ratchet straps but used them for peace of mind going on long trips when I knew I'd be going 70 mph+ but it never budged.

Nice workmanship... I liked how it looks like it fits so well inside the box like you say. I noticed that right away. Sweet!

Look closely and you will see 4 blue straps that go from the truck stake pockets to the wood supports.

Do you have any idea if it would work with a Silverado?

It would if you brace it differently.

Considering today's wood prices, that's a pretty good deal.
