DIY - bed bike stand

[Twyman]

I was looking to purchase bike stand to get the bikes upright for short journeys to trails after looking and checking prices decided to DIY. Used the bed cleats I got with the truck, square aluminum tubing, couple of holes drilled on each end. Bolts with wing nuts and piping insulation over top. Strap bikes to tube and ready to rock and roll. Total cost $35. Thinking about custom making. LMK if you are interested

That looks awesome, Mark! We love seeing all the ways the Ford Family makes their F-150 Lightning unique!

I need to figure out a way to get the Bike(s) up into the truck, especially by one person. We have two electric bikes and they are heavy. No way can I lift them up that high into the back of the truck.

How long is the aluminum tube?

Aluminum bi-fold loading ramps? I have a pair and they're 15-pounds each.

A bit more $$, but very quick and easy to load, especially for heavy ebikes, expandable to 3 bikes:

If ramps don't work well you might want to check out a "Pickup Truck Bed Crane" (Harbor Freight?)
