Hey Dave, thanks for reaching out!

Since you're wanting a pretty versatile setup, I recommend using one of the SeaSucker roof rack systems because they can be removed and swapped to a different vehicle roof pretty seamlessly:

- SeaSucker Surfboard Carrier # 298-BX1806
- Rhino-Rack Cam-Buckle Cinch Strap and Anchor Kit # RRRBAS-RTD55P-RTD45P

OR

- SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B
- etrailer Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # e98878

If you're wanting something to mount to your truck, I'll need to know the models of your tonneau covers and the bed lengths for both trucks. Even then, we'll have to get both trucks equipped with their own ladder rack that's compatible with your covers (if possible) so that you don't have to remove a ladder rack to move the carrier to the other truck.

Hey Dave, how did the SeaSucker setup work out for your F-250 and Chevy 1500? Were you able to carry your kayaks without having to remove the tonneau covers? Your update could make it easier for others trying to use similar covers on multiple trucks.
