Recommended Ladder Rack For 1997 Ford F-350 With Camper Shell

Question:

I have a 1997 F350 crew cab with a bed dimension of 100x73. My camper shell has a clearance of 29 from the top of bed rail to the top of camper shell Do you have a full pipe rack or the ladder rack made in aluminum that will fit?

I may have another option but unfortunately we do not have a full pipe rack or aluminum ladder rack that will fit inside of the camper shell on your 1997 Ford F-350 Crew Cab with an 8' Bed.

The only option to add a ladder rack to your truck would be to install a ladder rack on top of your camper shell like the Thule TracRac CapRac Ladder Rack for Camper Shell/Truck Cap # TH29200XT. This will require drilling into the camper shell to mount the brackets and the carrying capacity of the ladder rack will be limited by the carrying capacity of the roof of your camper shell.

The Thule TracRac CapRac # TH29200XT includes four load stops are adjustable to accommodate the load you are carrying, and each of them includes a tie down hole for securing your cargo.

I included a picture of the Thule TracRac CapRac # TH29200XT installed on a camper shell for you to take a look at.
