Roof rack

[banana]

Back in feb I purchased my first early bronco and have come to notice mine has a roof rack (looks factory) I also noticed most others do not which got me wondering. wAS a roof rack a factory option or if this most likely is aftermarket? All I know is it was orginally a ranger model.

As far as I know no early bronco came from the factory with a roof rack...They were dealer or po installed....or flipper

Too funny! I do like how nice the roof racks look. If mine had one I wouldn't remove it.

No roof rack on mine... no roof ;D

my thoughts exactly! I stared at my first bronco for 24 hours straight and noticed EVERYTHING that was on it!

I could be wrong as I often am, but I thought there was a stock roof rack option.

Back in1976 I bought my 72 Sport and it had a roof rack on it that looked the same as I have seen on some Ford station wagons. Post a pic...yours may be the same one.

Mine came with one. Not sure if it was a factory option or a dealer add-on.. And it's functional! lol

Love the roof rack, definitely looks like it belongs there.

Mine has one of the '68 Ford station wagons on it(I put it on in '85).....I did say(As far as I know no)..I never knew of it to be an opt. from factory.....,but I don't know for sure...Maybe some one that do will chime in....Naz or Donk,viper...etc

Mine has one that, from what I understand, was a dealer option.

The man who owned my Bronco before me had an affininty for them, as I have a picture of him in a magazine with four of his Broncos at one time, ALL with the same roof rack. (He was quite into finding and stockpiling parts.)

They seem to be not only similar to the ones on Ford station wagons, but there was also a shorter version fitted to trunk lids on some Galaxie convertibles back in the '60s.

Several original Bronco ads and brochures show Broncos with roof racks. Not sure exactly what that means.

I believe they were dealer installed. I have one for my '71. Anyone know for sure?

 

[FRKNSTYN]

I have the same kind of roof rack as JIMANDA72 does.
Love the way it looks.
I need to find out who made it ..have to replace a cross bar (rust)

I've read alot of different yrs (66-77) opt.'s on these Broncos and have never read where a RR was an opt. from the factory...,but not saying that it could not have happened..
