roof rack installation
does anyone have experience installing a roof rack. Question is; does the "screw plug" install from the top down, or from the inside of the cab to out. sorry for the bad pics. the brass screw inside is flush with the base of the "non flange" end. My thought process is from the top in, when you screw down the rack "legs" the brass plug will "bunch up" the rubber like a gyproc wall plug. The instructions pic suggests differently.
thx, Al.

Re: roof rack installation
The "plugs" are more commonly known as well-nuts. They go through about a 1/2" hole in the roof and have a threaded brass insert at the bottom for a 1/4-20 screw. When you tighten it down it collapses the well-nut tight around the sheet metal providing a seal and an anchor.

Re: roof rack installation
The roof racks for the 67-72 with the stainless strips are hard to come by. And i have found that the bolts at the hardware store are a little different but will work. I was wanting to know who manifactured these racks?
