The base that is secured to the truck bed is 2" (schedule 40) PVC. The big holes seen in the pic were used to mount the countersunk screws on the inside of the PVC to the very back of the bed. I used three #14 countersunk sheet metal screws on each PVC. The rack is made out of 1 1/2" PVC (schedule 40). I greatly appreciate the kind words. Hope this helps explain better. The front rack is the 1 1/2" (schedule 40) PVC mounted to the tool box with the threaded eyes seen in the pic.

It cost about 70 bucks for the entire install. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Boards are stable and secure
