Hey everyone, has anybody seen or used an old ladder rack as a roof rack on a squarebody Suburban? I'm picking one up for free- I can use the steel for lots of things regardless, but this seems like an easy way to get a roof rack onto the burb. Or would it look really dumb? Opinions, thoughts, and mockery are welcome :D

I don't have photos, but... squarebody suburban with a ladder rack turned into a roof rack. It would have to be modified of course, but the free one I have access to looks about like this, stolen from Google Images...

This became moot when my buddy who helped me move it home decided it would go better on his F-150 pickup, so no we'll be widening it to fit his truck! He can use it for work, which is cool with me :)
