roof rack ideas
I'm not sure if I can explain it but I'll give it a shot. the rack would be over the fiberglass top. I do not want to drill holes in the top, so... my first idea was to put a rack on top with support braces welded to it that ran over the fiberglass top and down the sides with mounts that would slide between where the top and the bedside meet, and hopefully make a plate that would slide between the bedside and the top and use the existing bolts that hold the top down to secure it.
That would be great, but then I thought instead of having 2 support bars on each side that ran down the sides of the fiberglass top (but not touching it, they would only be supported by the plates that would go between the top and the bedside using the existing bolts that hold the top down) I could have the back two braces go down the side of the top but somehow manage to get the front braces to mount on top of the truck between where the top of the fiberglass top meets and the steel part of the roof of the cab. My concern is that the bolts which bolt on the top part of the fiberglass top don't bolt flush, but have several awkward bends to them. I was trying to think of a way to have my front two brackets for the spare tire rack to mount there, that way I'd have my front two support rods for the tire rack mounting from the roof, and only the rear two support rods extending down the side of the truck.
