NOTE: 1992 or newer Ford and 1996 or
newer Chevy GMT600/GMC Savana vans
have an upward bow in the center of the
gutter. When installing a three cross-
member van rack, we suggest using the
dimensions shown in
Figure 3. All mea-
surements are from center to center of the
stands. Be sure to remember if a third
(center) crossmember is used; it can be
identified by the 5" socket (
Stand B as
shown in Figure 2.) for the Ford and GM.
The preferred rack placement will locate the
rear of the front stands even with the rear edge
of the front doors. The van rack placement on the
roof can vary somewhat, and the dimensions (
shown
in Figure 3.) may vary due to variations in the gutter bow.
