I have them in my 79 ford pu. From the looks of it, they are from the factory because it has the threaded stud inserts built in to the cab that had original factory paint and showed no signs of them being aftermarket inserts.
I agree with the others, they advertise a persons guns for the thieves in our society.

Back in the 70's and early 80's they did offer such things as options on trucks such as gun racks and CB radio's.
I know they offered factory install CB's in the early 80's pickups and I think they had gun racks in 70's trucks.

I've got one, though it holds my 4 way lugnut wrench, jumper cables, and a pair of earmuffs. pretty useful tool that gunrack.

If you have a gun rack here with any sort of rifle on it, you could have about 4 squad cars with officers weapons drawn on you.
You want to take that chance?
Plus, as soon as you looked away, it'd probably be stolen anyway.

My gun rack is my back seat and floot board. I've always got a shotgun and or rifle in the truck with me. I hope I would never need one of them, but I'm not going to be defenseless against someone. I shoot back.

I had a rifle rack in my 77 before it was smashed, I'd only have a gun in it when I was going to and from the range, camping, or transporting it. Im going to order a vertical gun rack for my highboy, where the buttstock sits on the tranny hump, and the barrel is up by the dash, like in a cop car.

I'm not in an area where a gun-rack would be okay... I'm going to a Jesuit university this fall, so heh... And mom whined about it when I mentioned getting one. Guess I'll have to wait till I get out on my own.

matched set
It has long been my intention to install gun racks - on my bed. The idea is to modify them to fit the side boards, and then hang matching shotguns on each side of the bed - his & her home protection. I finally got a pair of matching guns, (riot guns with 7 round tubes and short open barrels). Unfortunately, my son's birthday showed up while I was seriously between contracts, and severely under-funded, so I gave him one of the shotguns, and now the search is back on.
