Headache/Lumber Rack

I want to put a rack on my 1928 AA Express Pickup. I would like it to look era correct, but have not seen any pictures of one.

Re: MARC National Meet - San Diego June 21 to July 1, 2011

Dan, I really enjoyed the discussion. Too bad we did not have more time due to going on the Grand Tour. Your enthusiasm is contagious. I hope you were able to make it out to the Motor Transport Museum in Campo during your San Diego visit. They have a Model AA Bus, a Model A Armored Car, and Model A ...
