K5 Stock Roof Rack? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

DANL · 12-07-2002, 05:41 PM

I saw a 72 K5 with a roof rack yesterday. It looked pretty good. I have seen them before that did not look as good. Can't remember the difference though. Does anyone know if Chevy offer a roof rack as an option? If so, does anyone have a photo.
Thanks!

Me and my neighbor (who owns a 72 K5) were just talking about those yesterday. The one we were wondering about was on one that we knew of when we were teenagers. A guy had a 72 that had the fiberglass top and a fiberglass roofrack molded into it. were these factory or a aftermarket top.

If memory serves me correctly (and it might not, at least it hasn't yet) I think my Blazer used to have one years back. It used to be my fathers vehicle before I talked him out of it (good old pops). I remember seeing some old pictures of myself with the Blazer in the background and it had the rack. I think (there goes the memory again) that he may still have it at his house. I'll check the next time I talk with him.

If I remember from the Blazer net days, yes there was a dealer installed option (it wouldn't have been blended in I don't think). I have seen the rack on a couple of K5's.
