alright i've been thinking about this for a few days now. i float back and forth on building a full rack for my single or running hoops.
i've done the search and didn't really turn up much of anything here. anyone got any pics of singles with full racks? i may even make it where it caps over the cab to. pics of other may help me make that decision...ken....

| Search a little deeper, I remember seeing one before. It was a lowered SC, if that helps. |

Chadd Magee(sp) also has a rack on his single. The bus still gets lots of looks.

|
|
Finally using my full length rack on my single. Couple of days work to make the "hoops". Used a piece of 1/2" black pipe as a substitute for the roof drip rail. Cut an opening in the pipe where the rack sits. Repro clamps work perfect to hold it tight. Ready to work.

If you scroll about half way down the add there's a picture here of a really clean full length doublecab HWE style rack design. The guy sells kits. I imagine you'd just weld the feet farther forward for a single.

I've had my eye on one for quite some time. Looks correct and really nice stuff.
