cheap tricks no. 6 cheap tricks no. 6
david benardo

After you spend $100 on a bike rack don't let it pull you're rear door off. This happened a few months after carrying a hundred or so pounds around. It really messed up the hinges; one is bent now and if the door is opened all the way it gets stuck that way. Maybe someone out there has some tips on that problem. Don't hang the rack off the door. Use a plastic coated ladder rack screw from the hardware store. Remove the bent ends and place in the rain gutter. This helps disperse the weight over a larger area. This trick has worked for over a year without a problem.

3/4 roof rack I am building
Last month I made a SC rack and enjoyed it so much that I decided to make a 3/4 roof rack. My welding is so crappy thatI am spending a lot of time grinding. Next project is to build a full length one with the correct bends and style. Looking to sell a couple if any one is interested

11/22/02 Chris Starke I had the same problem when I made my SC rack. A friend told me to braze the joints. They turned out bitchen-very smooth and no grinding. It is actually easier than welding and just as strong. Try it!
10/01/02   what's the price going to be for the full length?

Here's another cooling system for single cabs in dusty climates. Unlike the Aus system of scooping air above the windscreens and ducting it under the load bed to the engine compartment, this sytem features "ear" scoops each side of the cab, with similar ducting under the load bed to the engine. Note how two cab rear panels have been used back-to-back to make a hollow duct for the cooling air. I have only seen this system on two pick-ups, both assembled in South Africa and both 1967 models. I don't know when single cabs were first assembled in SA, but earlier models were imported fully built up.

09/28/02 Tom Mink It's especially interesting because a "normal" '67 singlecab would have had a full-width rear window.
