Re: 1966 roof rack

Here is an option on how to make one:
http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...ight=roof+rack

or buy a CarPac/ClassicRack wooden rack brand, but they can be pricey(CL, EBay, etc.)

Factory racks required drilling. Get one off an old big station wagon from a junkyard and adapt it. I prefer the wood.

Re: 1966 roof rack

I have one on a 66 GMC Suburban, I don't think its 100% correct for the year but it fits well. Can get some pics if interested.

Re: 1966 roof rack

Not sure what it came from originally , was on this one when I bought it for parts. Yes there's a few old Chevys here. Way to many projects !! But ya gotta have parts to build them.

Re: 1966 roof rack

Here is a surf board rack I seen in Daytona Turkey Run last weekend. Looks like the same mounts as the ones in reference thread with custom wood board racks. Pretty cool. This is the burb for Eckler's truck parts area of the swap.
