I wouldn't quite go so far as to say good ol' boys are "low class, white trash hicks." -- I've known quite a few good ol' boys in my time who would not fall into the "low class, white trash hicks" catagory. Rural, blue collar might be a better description than "trash" or "hicks."

But I do think there is a difference between good ol' boys and the good ol' boy network. In my experience, good ol' boy networks aren't necessarily made up of good ol' boys.
