I guess this is the best place for this thread...

I know it's old school.....
But have really been wondering how one would look or where to go to get one made....

Probably a single or double bar. That would have four to six light tabs.

Match the cab height and width and come down at an angle like a baja truck.

If I did it I would have it line x'd either silver DSG or black....

Anyone out there have one or thought about this?

Here's my truck how do you think it would look?

 

57 views and no one has an opinion????

 

i think itd look good i like the look of roll bars.

mine with a double bar.


with a single bar.



i say go for it.

 

Thanks. Did you buy that or have it made?


I'm having problems finding any... My bed style isn't helpping...

Couldn't even get a back rack for it.

 

no a buddy of mine had a 77 F-150 with this bar in it he didnt like it so he gave it to me. i think the name of the company is "Trailblazer" im not sure thoe. it was a chrome bar but the guy before my buddy painted it black.

You might have to make one or have someone make it for you.

what kind of bed do you have?

 

The flareside bed... It's hard to find stuff for.

 

you could call or email someone your bed demientions someone will make something for you. or go get a bunch of 1/8" tubeing and make your own. they dont look that hard to make.

 

If you think finding stuff for your flareside try having a screw!! Specially a 01-03!!! I have a 02 screw and I want a roll bar as well!! To the OP GO FOR IT!!! You are not alone in wanting one!! Try www.truckrollbar.com its a company in Florida that makes roll bars for any truck!! Unforunatly they do no do chrome though

 

i have one in mine and i love the look i say do it

 

I just bought a used, black, single-tube roll bar for my 2003 Screw.

Can't hardly wait to install it.

Best part, the roll bar doubles as a 15gallon air tank.

 

POST A PIC PLEASE! I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE ON OUR BODYSTYLE!!!

 

New roll bar is mounted with straps, as I haven't had time to bolt it down yet.
I think the height and contour of the bar match the supercrew cab almost perfectly.
This particular bar was originally for an oldschool (1980's) stepside bed, so it bolts down to the bed between the wheel wells.
It's very light, say 30lbs. The bar is fully welded and sealed, with air fittings - so it doubles as an air tank.
I think it looks pretty sweet but my wife hates it.

 

^ thanks man!! Looks really good!! Add some lights and you would be set!! I REALLY want one for my screw now!! I want mine in chrome/polished stainless though. I am going for the "old school" off road look for my truck!!

 

Wookie, glad you like it. This project is going to take more work than I anticipated:

1. sand, smooth welds , then repaint bar
2. dispose of my plastic bedliner
3. do some major dent-removal on the bed interior
4. apply a nice thick coat of Herculiner to the bed
5. figure out the best way to attach the bar to the bed
6. install an insane array of KC lights facing front, side, and rear.

for #5, I'm thinking rivet nuts or nut inserts that attach permanently to the bed floor, or just welding studs to the bed floor. Any ideas?

 

Go rhino make bed bars for the 97-03 gen flairsides. You can get them in black or chrome but unfortuneately they dont make them for the flairsides in the 04-08
