EMPI Wood Slat Roof Rack — Type 2 VW Bus 1950–1979, Knock-Down, Silver Powder Coat (15-2011-0)

EMPI's Type 2 Wood Slat Roof Rack is an excellent replica of the original, made better. It adds that vintage road-trip look to any early bus, from the 23-window Deluxe through the late Bay Window Type 2. Finished in Silver Powder Coat with hardwood slats and silver zinc plated hardware.

The knock-down design is easy to assemble and, best of all, ships UPS rather than freight.
