    I have all four of these corner braces. Depending on how the whole rack looks and mounts, and availability of the remainder of the rack parts, I may keep them. Otherwise, you may see them for sale......... thanks for looking 006.jpg

    They look extremely close to the ones on my Satellite, so I'm guessing a late 60's to mid 70's Mopar.

    On closer inspection almost identical. The bars are a triangle shape with curved sides.

    Sorry about the enormous size of this pic but you can see the roof rack brackets quite clearly.

    Thanks, Dewey S. How do the 2 bars that go left to rt. join to the rack corners? THanks again. I now have a nice set of corners to start with. Just need the 4 rack bars, and skip the rails on the roof itself. I don't plan to haul bails of hay for Mr. Douglass with this thing.

    No problem, I recognized them right away. The cross beams on the rack attach to a sliding adjustable bracket just in front of the corner braces (like you have), the bracket has an oval shaped mount that the cross brace slides over then is secured with a set screw, it makes the rack cross beams fully adjustable front to back and easily removed. The cross brace brackets are in a long slide channel in the long triangular part of the front to back beams. So I'm thinking the next step would be to find the slide brackets and front to back beams, then the cross beams.

    So yeah you may be having to get the side beams as well or not but it would work without the cross beams but not without the main front to back ones.

    Eb, Mr Haney said hurry and get that rack on so the Douglas' can get their horse hay! This ain't Fifth Avenue!

    Nice billboard dewey. Had to go over to the neighbors house to see the front of your wagon. But it still looks good full sized.
