Ladder Rack
Does anyone know of an inexpensive ladder rack (or any for that matter) that I can put on my 90 Aerostar, 2wd? I need to start carrying a 24 foot extension ladder on my van and would even be willing to build a cheap one and screw it to the top. Any ideas?

cableguy815,
Try eBay! I've seen numerous ladder racks, specific to A*s, over the last five years. Some were new, many were used, with the used ones going cheap 'cause the A* underneath had died...

Ladder Rack
I've carried both my 16 foot AND my 32 ft Fiberglas ladders on my aerostar at the same time. I can't do it anymore cause I put a safari Rack on top (with K/C lights) that I stole (not really, but salvaged) from a Jeep Cherokee.
I was a cable/satellite/alarm/CCTV/Acess Control Installer for years. I've done some side work out of the wifes Aero. If you have the original B/S roof rack that comes with it then it will hold 2 ladders just fine. If your looking to build a cheapo functional one and don't care about drilling holes in your roof, then let me know. I built a homemade one for an 84 VW Vanagon that I DID use to contract cable install and stuff out of. I crried a 32 ft, 16 ft, and a stepladder up there. I made the rack out of easy to find scrap metal. Welded it together in about an hour.
Cheers!
