I'd be interested too.

It had a big bad roof rack on it, and is featured on the rack manufacturer's web site.

Sounds like it could be a site for vintage pin-ups, no?
They've got some nice stuff.

I'm looking for one like I saw on the 65 GMC suburban I almost bought a year ago. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 | Barrett-Jackson sold a 53 burb a while back that had one, maybe you could find it on the web somewhere,

I saw some teak and brass rails one time that I thought would look really cool on a vehicle, but the brass would be a booger to keep shiny.
