Re: Gun rack
There are several posts on people trying to figure out what the gun rack holes are for. Here is a link to mine, but there are probably some better ones.

Re: Gun rack

Re: Gun rack
Around here, you fail the safety inspection with out a gun rack. I have a newer style overhead 2 gun rack that's still in a box if you want photos or measurements. I also had one one time that went where the sun visors go. They both take up a lot of room.

Re: Gun rack
Some of my favorite memories of my dads '64 involve a shotgun in the gun rack. I need to find one for nostalgia sake.

Re: Gun rack
I just go to the junk junkyard to find mine. It doesn't bother anyone to have a gun in the rack around town.

Re: Gun rack
They still sell them at academy sports store. They are like 10bucks or so... I'm after the style that mounts to the roof/ sun visor area ..

Re: Gun rack
They also work great for carrying an umbrella.

Re: Gun rack
On several of my prior trucks, I had my upholstery man sew a sleeve to the front of my seat that would hold one long gun. It kept the gun from getting scratched and when the doors are closed, you can't see it.
I know you asked about overhead gun racks, I just thought I would throw another option your way. Since being a cop for to many years, I've found that in many cases if a crook can't see it he is less likely to steal it. Also, we had a deputy or two put gun racks on their cage (behind their head). They found out after a sudden stop that a Remington 870 will knock you out. Sorry to blather on, but if behind your head or over your head make sure you use the BIG screws and secure the gun to the rack with a strap or bungie of some kind. |

Re: Gun rack
My '72 has the mandatory farmer racks still in it lol. Growing up it either held a .22 or a 12 gauge all the time. I had a '76 that the PO put a 3 gun rack that was supposed to mount over the window behind the seat. Pain in the butt to get the gun out in a hurry but at least most people didn't know there was any guns in it (didn't have to worry about them getting stolen!)

Re: Gun rack
Mine has a floor piece mounted on the passager floorboard and a piece attached on the dash. Rifle rides straight up and yes I have been stopped to have the PO PO check to see if the gun is unloaded.
