Fitting roof rack to pick up !

Anyone have any ideas how to fit a roof rack to a 90 pick up that’s got an ifor Williams back on it?
I would like to carry a ladder occasionally or long bits of wood...? Any thoughts??

I reckon this is going to need to be a custom solution. I would probably create a rack section for the back attached to the Ifor. If only for ladders it would be strong enough, then use a standard rack bar at the front.

If you needed more weight or felt the Ifor was not strong enough could would need to put a hoop type arrangement in with flanges that sit under the Ifor then come through the Ifor into these flanges from the external part of the rack.

Not sure if you can weld etc? If not a small metal fab place would probably make something up fairly inexpensively and get it powder-coated.

I think you may be right - I recon ladders would be reasonably easy to fit, I have those spinning ladder bracket things - but loading lengths of wood might be too much for it ! I was considering making it into a hardtop but it’s pretty convenient as a pickup to just throw stuff in the back which is open
