Of course, most of us bought our own cars/trucks; only a few had parents willing to pay for a new car for the kids. So you had to buy something with just a couple-three thousand bucks or whatever. Back then, a used Chevy/Ford/Ram truck was maybe $3-$4000 max? I think you could get a new truck for about $12,000?
But old '70s trucks were cheap, so were the parts, and working on them was pretty straightforward.
And gun racks were practically a factory option. Some cheap Mossy pump or whatever in the bottom rack, and usually some kind of lever gun in the top. Rich people might have a bolt gun in the top rack.
I remember one of my best friends getting a mini-14 from his dad as a X-mas gift, and the rest of us being very impressed with it the first time he pulled into the Senior parking lot with that thing hanging there in the top rack.

I imagine. Just pointing out the differences. I grew up in late 90s/very early 2000s
