ya it's a standard truck bed, no c channel rails that run along the bed. I know that Inno velco makes 2 different types of those racks.

If you have 15mm or 20mm forks, this one is great.

I have the older version in my truck and it has held up great.

Why get a rack if you have a truck...? Just toss it in the back and go.
