Scored a cool dual CHP gunrack
1 Attachment(s)
I scored a cool gun rack on ebay. I think I may try to put this one in 2920, if it fits with out too much modification.

Nice, I have one as well. but mine came out of a caprice or crown vic.
It can be modified to fit a mustang. The mustangs would have carried mini 14's as a second weapon in the car. Later vehicles carried M-1 AR-15's. You'll have to see which one fits in the second electroloc. I drove mustangs in the Stockton area that had a shotgun and mini 14 in them. I have a picture of a mustang I drove that has both in it, you can see them clearly in the pic. Nice score ! BTW.... no copy of that article yet. Wondering if I'll ever see it. |
Nice find, Jack! :)

John, Could you post up the pics with the dual rack with the mini 14. I have only seen one picture of a dual rack with the shotgun and mini 14 in it.
|
Will do. It is a picture looking through the front window is all.
You can only see the barrels of both weapons. Will try to do that today for you. |
Pretty sure that the rifles started being issued in 89-91. I have dual racks for 89 Caprices and 90's crown vics.
The one you have looks to be a crown vic style. You would have to modify where it mounts on the dash |
Tried to upload the phto. Too large I guess. I'll email it to you.
We started getting the Mini-14's in 1986. That is when they started training and " qualifying " us with the weapon. The rifle was placed and stored in trunks originally. A year or two after that is when they started placing them inside the vehicles. Not sure what year they changed to AR style weapons. I am guessing late 90's or 2000. There were no AR weapons in 1995 that I can remember. |

John, do you recall how the light by the center rearview mirror mounted? I have the light with correct bracket but if mount it directly to headliner, it hits the windshield glass. Did it have a spacer between headliner and bracket?

uuuuuuhhhhhhhh lol I do have an original mirror red light. I am not attaching it in my car. But I did place it there for looks.
I do not recall it hitting the windshield, there is a 4" or so trim piece from the top windshield frame that extends out and is covered by the headliner. When I replaced my headliner, I did not see screw holes where one would have been attached. But it seemed to fit ok if I would have attached it. Maybe you have a light for another type of vehicle ?? They were in caprices, mustangs etc. That I remember driving. But no, I do not know or remember exactly how they were attched. I'll look at mine again and see how it fits and email you back. Sorry. |
