This came on my 55 when I first got it:

I took it off when we started painting the Pig. Mid-way through painting, we moved to a new house and the Pig will not fit in the garage w/ the rack on.

I think this rack looked pretty cool on the Pig, definitely looks "period-correct". Make no mistake, if you want to carry some heavy stuff, I would go with a Yakima or Thule rack, or other. If I were going to keep it I would probably powder coat in a pewter color.

When I took the rack apart, one bolt yielded :-(

Other than that, rack is okay. Just needs to be cleaned up and painted.

Comes with 3 cross-bars that mount to the rain gutters:

2 "side panels"

And 8 crossbars:

I am looking to get $100 + shipping.
Shipping from 80538. Not sure how much it would be to ship. I will have to stitch together packaging to ship, or do local pick-up.
I will get a shipping quote for interested party.

Thanks!

You might double check if that could be a factory Toyota roof rack. They were a bolt together knock down unit, check for metric bolts, came across one 20 years ago. I'm interested in it if it is. I can't open your images. Thank's, John
 
I do believe the fasteners were metric when I took it apart.

The images are not loading? I can reload them when I get home.

Let me know if there are any distinguishing markings on there that would clear up the origin of the rack. Factory pieces are cool!

I can see photo's now, I need to do some research tomorrow, it looks so be what I remember.
Pass this on to cooney if he wants it, as I would probably save it for a museum piece. John

I think you are right - factory accessory. After some digging I found a picture from some early literature:
