Ian,

The side boards/seats are a standard GM-H option. They called it a "well-side".

Some were delivered to the Army as I have a photo of one where you can see the hoops under the side canvas. Would have been pretty useful as it will seat 6-8 in the back.

The roof rack was featured in a photo of one in the desert (It was on a Canadian Chev ute with the truck cab and separate bed.) I managed to get hold of it about 5 years ago thinking it would be useful one day and Voila!

The tow bar is strictly my invention as they did not have rear bumpers. we may have to tow a trailer or broken down vehicle on the trip. it also makes a great step for two geriatrics to climb into bed each night.
