sorry, but i think it might be because roll bars died out in the early 80's with the mullets and hood bras.
it could also be because of where i live also.
I haven't seen a truck with a roll bar in years... I take that back, i have seen the subaru brat and the jeep wranger with roll bars.
Back in the early 80's my father had a chevy luv pickup and he took his out because you couldn't put anything int he back and he said they blocked his view in the rear view. I can't recall much of anything else, i was like 12yrs old at the time.

Best of luck hunting.

Have you tried contacting Smittybilt or GoRhino? They seem to be the only companies that make rollbars.I'd email that picture and askeither of those comanies the part number forone in chrome.One of them should have it.

PS - I love trucks with rollbars, I think they stand out and look badass. On fullsize trucks anyways.

The Fally Guy's chevy had a sweet set of roll bars. For me, roll bars are just cosmetic, like the dual rally wipers. If you are really concernd about rolling over protection, then an internal roll cage is what you need.
I just think less is more with some things. the less clutter and fake cosmetics the better. but its just my opinion and I could care less if he wants the triple bar set in hot pink.
Best of luck getting one, i just googled it and I can't seem to find anything... gee... wonder why.
The ones I can find are cheap looking.

What you can do for cheap is design what you want to have, and take your design to a muffler shop. You can have a custom roll bar made out of say, 5 inch pipe or whatever you prefer. Once you do that, all you have to do is take it somewhere to 1. Get it painted or 2. Paint it yourself.

Yeah, it was a cute little truck. It had the big 4x4 decals on the hood and the rears, with KC's on the roll bar, and over sized tires all from the factory.
I tried to google it to find it but I never found it. I might dig through my photos and see if I have a pic.

here is a cheezey video of a luv pickup, but that is what it looked like with the roll bar.
