Surco Rack with Custom Low Profile mounts

I have a black Surco Rack for sale. It's not in the best condition, some of the black paint is chipping off, and there are a few holes in it where i've mounted stuff. But overall it's in ok condition. It's also got two hella 500 driving lights attached to it.

I had some custom aluminum spacers machined for it, so it bolts directly to the factory rails using longer bolts. When installed the rack only sits about 1/4 of an inch off the roof in the center.

$250

here is a kinda crappy pic, but it's all I got...

I was going to put it on the shell of my Taco, but the damn thing is too tall I didn't think to measure it before I decided to keep it. Now I just figured out that it won't fit in my garage when it's installed. It'd be too much of a hassel to keep taking the darn thing off every time i wanted to put the truck in the garage. If you want it I'll find a way to get it to you.

They are just inch by inch aluminum blocks that are tapered on the bottom side. I can't get pics of it just yet. But maybe in a couple of days. I also had some spacers machined that would go into the rack to allow the bolts to sit flush and straight. If you want to see the pics click the link and then hit refresh on the browser. For some reason that works sometimes.

It works if you hit refresh twice. It goes from the cannot find screen to the Forbidden screen to the picture. I've never seen that before, but 2 clicks will get you there.

Yes it is just a simple bolt on affair. The only part that's a pain in the ass is removing the two stock crossbars. The three short ones stay. Yes The hardware will go with the rack. I am willing to ship, but it might be a little spendy to Canada...

i was just thinking of getting it shipped to blaine, slapping it on then comin back. if you could get a quote to 98230...that'd be good...maybe something can be worked out. the cheaper the better not in a rush, but i dont want to wait like 4-6 weeks either .does greyhound do that big a size package?

anyway..let me know what the damage for shipping such a beast would be. thanks
