Gun Rack for Pickups w/ Beer Windows?
Ok, I'm trying to figure out somewhere to mount a shotgun or two (or maybe my bow) in my 84 single cab.
It has a beer window, and I love to drive with it open (for obvious reasons), so I don't think the standard rear window gun rack will work...
So, what have yall worked out? And don't say get a handgun cause I already have many, have my CHL, and carry one everywhere I go. This is for hunting purposes

You know I was just thinking the same thing the other day... Lol
But you know, it's kinda hard to drive and shoot a turret located on top of the truck all at the same time. Some might say get a friend to drive or shoot, but I'm still stuck on the army of one thing. Pfft who needs battle buddies.

Well I do have a Armalite AR-50 that could be used, but I always figured turrets were more for bullet squirters like an M2 or something.
And if my AR-50 couldn't fit in the cab of my dodge (59.5" overall length, 34lbs empty), I HIGHLY doubt it'll fit inside the yoter lol...

I bought one from Cabelas that holds two rifles (or shotguns) vertically. It has a plate permanently mounted to the tranny hump (only works with an auto tranny) and the actual part that holds the weapons is removable.

Cabellas has a nice one that mounts to the ceiling.. Guns are up out of the way but easy to get to.

I have a 3 gun rack that fit behind the seat pretty well. The seat had to be slid forward to carry 3 guns but i mostly carried only 2...
It was similar to this mounted with self tapping screws on each end
