Period correct cargo boxes? (1 Viewer)

[GetItBilly]

I apologize for having to be the geek using the term "period correct", but does anyone remember what rooftop box options were like around 87 - 90? What else could you get besides those ugly Sears square boxes?

Is this Thule Alpine that old?

What about this Yakima Space Booster?

feels maybe more late 70's(the rainbow stuff was in around then, (pre LBGT???)..........I think its a Sear's box.........don't ask why I drug it home but I was thinking of mounting it somehow in my fj45 pickup......

^^^and it has the same "Aerodynamic" shape of a 60!

Oh yeah, you're losing some MPG with that one. Nice. I think that silver Thule I posted seems like late 80s/early 90s, but maybe I'm wrong and it's more mid-late 90s?

This is older than late 80s, but if I ever saw one of these uhaul boxes, I would buy it for sure.

Wow... ambulance doors and no plates but left hand drive and golden retrievers... where is this magical pinstriped place?

 

[IBFJ62]

I want those barn doors..

 

[FARMAN33]

i want those jump seats!

Some bannister rails from an old Super 8 and scraps of Pergo flooring should do it. Couple of rainbow stickers to top it off...all you need is a sweet set of tube socks and a terry cloth headband!

the white one may be one of my favorite 60's

I think those scans came from a world spec brochure

I was bending tube this morning and thought .... WTH... Just for @Landpimp...........

I'll finish it as I have time. all the other tube is on the rack collecting dust.. so why not. I like changing things up, it keeps me sane.

Never had a rack on my 60 for one reason.....I just love OEM rack design.

Looks like I might not havery an excuse soon
