Protect the back of your cab without giving up the view. The BackRack 12800 Louvered Headache Rack mounts behind the cab of your 2001-2023 Chevy Silverado / GMC Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD to shield the rear window and occupants from shifting loads, ladders, lumber, and road debris.

Why owners choose it

Louvered face blocks impacts while the slotted pattern keeps useful rearward visibility.
Industrial HRPO steel with E-coat plus black powder coat for doubled corrosion resistance.
No-drill, bolt-on mounting uses your existing stake-pocket holes — no cutting your bed.
Rigid base for adding BackRack accessories: light brackets, toolbox brackets, and cargo/tonneau hardware.

Rack frame only. The truck-specific BackRack no-drill installation hardware kit is required and sold separately (typically kit 30119 for 2007-2019 GM HD standard bed, or 30119TB if a cross-bed toolbox is installed). Confirm your bed/toolbox configuration before ordering the kit.

FAQ

Do I need a separate hardware kit for the 12800?

Yes. The louvered frame ships alone; the truck-specific BackRack no-drill hardware kit is required and sold separately.

Does the 12800 require drilling to install?

No. With the matching hardware kit it uses existing stake-pocket holes, with no drilling or bed cutting.

What is the difference between the louvered 12800 and the open 14800?

The 12800 has a louvered face that blocks debris while keeping some rearward view; the 14800 uses an open round-tube layout for the clearest sightlines.
