ARIES (111000): Classic Steel Headache Rack

Made from 1″ x 2″ carbon steel tubing, ARIES classic headache racks provide excellent protection for your truck cab from sun damage and potential impact from unsecure cargo in your truck bed. The full louvers help keep the cab cooler throughout the day, and their heavy-duty construction helps block any damage from behind.

This classic headache rack (ARIES 111000) is designed to be universal, allowing for compatibility with a wide variety of full-size trucks, from the 1988 Chevy C1500 to the 2021 Ram 1500 Classic. It is compatible with cross-bed truck toolboxes and includes all necessary hardware for a complete installation.

  • Heavy-duty 1″ x 2″ steel tube construction for a solid frame
  • Dual-layer E-coat and black powdercoat for maximum corrosion resistance
  • Fully louvered center section to protect the cab and passengers
  • Louvers also help keep the cab cooler by blocking direct sunlight.

Dee Zee in Da House!

By John M. Arnaud

Earlier this week, Performance Corner and The AAM Group hosted four special representatives from one of our oldest program vendors: Dee Zee, a Des Moines, IA–based company that serves both the OE and aftermarket industries with a versatile product lineup.

We spent the day discussing ways to identify more of our Performance Corner locations as Dee Zee destinations and scheduled some video shoots that will educate consumers and jobbers alike about some of Dee Zee’s biggest sellers.

Thanks to Director of Aftermarket Sales Troy Wirtz, Regional Sales Manager Doug Vinsand, Marketing and Advertising Director Dan Kruzic, and Art Director Matt Gearhart for making the trip out to AAM headquarters. We loved having you and look forward to an exciting year ahead!
