Luggage Rack - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone have a luggage rack on their Suburban? I'm looking for one that would have been installed or available at a dealership in the 60's or early 70's. Pics of any examples would be greatly appreciated, I need to know what to look for.

I have one but it's just leaning against a fench up at the shop.

When I get it mounted (hopefully soon) I'll get some pics out for ya.
If you want pics of just the "part" itself, let me know.

Here's the best picture I had on the computer.
Can get more this weekend if needed.

"Fench" wasn't in my regular dictionary, but I found it in my slang dictionary.

Fench. n.
1. A French fence, usually known for failing to hold back intruders if not falling down on its own.
2. Of or relating to French fixed defenses. See the Maginot Line.

BobS · 12-18-2004, 10:54 AM

LOL, I never knew the Maginot Line was classified as a fench!

vtblazer, is your luggage rack the same as A few 72's?

Fetch it from the fence.Reminds me of the story about my French friend Fletch forming a flech from a fence...

I'd go looking at old station wagons. Lots of them had luggage racks. You might find a nice one.

BobS · 12-28-2004, 01:13 PM

Good idea, I hadn't considered station wagons. Thanks!
