Any roof racks on c10s?

I did this on my old 66. Just bought the brackets to try on my 69. Anyone else done this?






Seen this kind

Interesting. Reminds me of the vintage VW Bug and Van racks.

I used copper tubing and aged it with a vinegar solution For the rails. You can see the green corrosion. May have a metal one made up if I can't build a metal one on my own. Or bend some copper to do a full railing with my brackets. I know a little about the VW's racks

A roof rack (and tiny one at that) on a vehicle with a bed designed to carry ample amounts of stuff is a bit confusing to me. However, it looks to be well executed.

Lol, of course it is not for practical use . Just something different to help me find my truck .
Although it could be useful to some with raised beds which I have no problems with. lol.

I like the idea, some factory truck now have options for roof racks (Baja package, etc...) Interested to see what the final product looks like, please post picks when done.

If anyone is interested the company has a heck of a good deal on them right now. $56, normally $70. On eBay for more actually.

Yeah, I figured as much. I was just being a little tongue-in-cheek But if you felt adventurous, you could strap a vintage cooler or spare tire up there and really blow some minds.
