Hickey roof rack

[jaybatta]

Several folks have told me it won't work, not the same size, but I know of a hickey roof rack currently on a 73+ blazer. I want so desperately for it to fit on a 69-72. Will it fit? Can it be adapted to fit?

I HAD a picture on my old phone, suppose it didn't transfer

Thanks

Joe

They are different racks however, with some cutting and fiberglass work you could prob make them work.

bin there don that , they just don't fit. Took a year to find someone to buy them. GOOD luck, Tom. They also made them for Dodges and Broncos

Curious, my dad ended up with a Hickey roof rack that came with a first gen blazer top but the rack was never installed. He gave me the roof rack to install on my 69-72 assuming that was the application and it doesn't really fit. Do I have a 73 and up roof rack?

I lost the pictures but mine had a 1 inch gap in the center, that one fit a '73 to '75 blazer. That one might pull down on a hot day

So is this fit typical for a 69-72 rack? I have seen some that look like they were born on the roof and others that have 1/4" gap is some places. I guess they are all a little different
