I've not seen any original or reproduction brackets since, but then again I might not recognize them beyond what is shown on page 218 of the DeAngelis/Francis book.


The brackets with the rack on ebay do not look exactly like those in the book photo, but it's hard to tell with certainty. As Ford did not manufacture the racks that it sold, those may or may not be for a Ford. I hope someone with certain knowledge will enlighten us.

The stainless on one pictured on pg 218 in the DeAngeles book is completely different than the '37 listed.I'll take a pic of it and post it.
