Horizontal storage bottle rack for shortbed pickup

[roakey]

Up until now I’ve been able to transport the occasional T bottle in the back seat of my super cab in order to keep it from rocketing around in the back of my pickup. Times they are a change’n and this weekend I need to bring two Ts up to Denver and bring three back down. So this was my solution: A rack to safely lock the cylinders in place during transport.

So being a wood’n bolts kid of guy, this is what I came up with. Most of it is 2x10s, and the holes for the valve covers were drilled with a clothes dryer vent saw.

Only on the Nitrogen (far left) bottle, so I can get narked at sea level.

Either that or go Hypoxic.
